Best fit for TikTape
Teams that want a single authenticated REST endpoint for full historical OHLCV on Hyperliquid, without stitching together raw exchange artifacts.

Comparison / Hyperliquid / OHLCV Only
TikTape vs 0xArchive vs the official Hyperliquid API for historical OHLCV
This page compares three ways to pull Hyperliquid candles. It stays narrow on purpose: route shape, authentication, and how each option presents historical OHLCV access.
TikTape is compared here strictly as a Hyperliquid OHLCV and candle API. This page does not claim TikTape supports funding rates, trades, order books, liquidations, or generalized historical market data.
Best fit for 0xArchive
Teams evaluating a broader historical data platform where candles are one route family inside a larger Hyperliquid market-data product.
Best fit for Hyperliquid API
Builders who only need the official exchange endpoint and can work inside the documented rolling candle window.
Strictly OHLCV
What changes when the job is only candles?
| Provider | Candles route | Auth | Historical posture | Notes for OHLCV buyers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TikTapeHyperliquid-focused OHLCV product. | GET /api/v1/ohlcv |
X-API-Key |
Designed around full historical OHLCV instead of the official rolling exchange window. | Simple route shape for repeated backtests and candle pulls. Public copy should stay scoped to OHLCV only. |
| 0xArchiveHistorical data API with a dedicated Hyperliquid candles route. | GET /v1/hyperliquid/candles/:symbol |
X-API-Key |
Historical candle endpoint inside a broader Hyperliquid historical market-data API. | 0xArchive documents the candle route as OHLCV aggregated from trades, next to other Hyperliquid route families. |
| Official Hyperliquid APIExchange-native info endpoint. | POST /info with type=candleSnapshot |
No API key in the documented candle request. | Only the most recent 5,000 candles are available through the documented candle snapshot flow. | Best when you want the official surface and your candle history fits inside the exchange window. |
Selection guide
How to choose
- Pick TikTape when your buying decision is centered on full historical OHLCV and straightforward API consumption for Hyperliquid.
- Pick the official Hyperliquid API when free exchange-native access matters more than deep history.
- Evaluate 0xArchive when your candle needs sit inside a broader historical market-data workflow and you want that wider surface in one product.
Comparison scope: Hyperliquid OHLCV and candle access only. Pricing, SLAs, dashboards, and non-candle datasets are intentionally out of scope for this page.
Next steps
Verify the route before you wire code
For TikTape, the cleanest next step is to review the public contract, call the endpoint with your own API key, inspect a sample history page, and then move into the how-to guide or coin-specific recipe. That gives you the exact request shape before you move into backtest or ingestion code.
