Introducing HIP-3 L4 and TP/SL Order Data

5 min read

HIP-3 L4 and TP/SL order data: resting depth, order lifecycle events, trigger concentrations, resulting fills, and route references.

On March 16, 2026, 0xArchive released HIP-3 L4 and TP/SL order data for Hyperliquid-family research. The release adds resting order-level depth, order-event history, trigger-order records, and routes for the fills that follow. For generic Hyperliquid order-book coverage, use the Hyperliquid order-book guide.

curl "https://api.0xarchive.io/v1/hyperliquid/hip3/orders/xyz:CL/history?start=1773586275000&end=1773590000000&limit=1" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $OXARCHIVE_API_KEY"

Keep xyz:CL namespaced. The same route family uses core symbols such as BTC, Spot pairs such as HYPE-USDC, HIP-3 builder symbols, and HIP-4 outcome identifiers with their own path and symbol rules.

What shipped

SurfaceRoute familyWhat it returns
Resting L4 book/orderbook/{symbol}/l4, /l4/history, /l4/diffsOrders currently resting in the book, with oid, wallet, side, price, and size
Order lifecycle/orders/{symbol}/historyPlaced, partially filled, filled, canceled, and status-change events
TP/SL lifecycle/orders/{symbol}/tpslTrigger-order rows with type, condition, status, and timestamps
Pending trigger concentrations/orders/{symbol}/trigger-levelsPrice buckets for pending TP/SL trigger orders
Resulting fills/trades/{symbol}Executed trade rows to join back to an order or trigger event

The L4 book records the current state of resting orders. The order and TP/SL routes record changes over time. A trigger can be placed, canceled, or fired without being the same row as a resulting fill. Join to trades when execution matters.

Resting depth is not lifecycle

A resting L4 snapshot answers: which orders are in the book at this checkpoint? An l4_orders or /tpsl row answers: what happened to an order? The /trigger-levels route answers: where are pending trigger orders concentrated around the current price? Keep the three questions separate in storage and analysis.

{
  "oid": 349728378873,
  "side": "B",
  "price": 101.41,
  "size": 0.123,
  "user_address": "0xredacted"
}

Lifecycle sequence

  1. Read the resting book or order history for the selected symbol and UTC window.
  2. Filter lifecycle rows by status, order_type, is_trigger, and is_position_tpsl.
  3. Use /trigger-levels for pending concentration. Do not use it as a completed liquidation map.
  4. Join triggered or filled records to /trades/{symbol} to confirm the resulting execution.
  5. Preserve the cursor chain, response schema, and meta.request_id for every page.

Order-event coverage is route and symbol specific. A pre-coverage window can return a valid empty page. Check the catalog and status before treating it as proof of no activity.

WebSocket access

Read the key from an environment variable and keep it out of browser bundles, logs, screenshots, and shared notebooks. A server-side Node.js connection using the ws package can send Bearer authentication during the handshake:

import WebSocket from "ws";

const apiKey = process.env.OXARCHIVE_API_KEY;
const ws = new WebSocket("wss://api.0xarchive.io/ws", {
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${apiKey}` },
});

ws.onopen = () => {
  ws.send(JSON.stringify({ op: "subscribe", channel: "hip3_l4_orders", symbol: "xyz:XYZ100" }));
};

The legacy apiKey query parameter remains compatibility-only for private server-side scripts. Use the Bearer handshake for new integrations, and never put credentials in browser-facing URLs or logs.

For a browser client, proxy the connection through a backend rather than exposing the key. Preserve close codes, reconnect count, channel, symbol, and any request or correlation ID in the application log.

Route references

Use the L4 order-book reference for resting depth, Order history for the wider lifecycle, and Take profits and stop losses for trigger-order fields. The Order flow reference aggregates order events by time bucket. Use the WebSocket connection guide for authentication and reconnect handling.

For generic depth, return to the Hyperliquid order-book guide. For current API availability and plan details, use the Hyperliquid data API, data catalog, pricing, and status.
