# Hyperliquid OHLCV candles

> GET /v1/candles returns OHLCV candles for any Hyperliquid market at 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h or 1d intervals, built from raw trades with a buy and sell volume split.



## OpenAPI

````yaml GET /v1/candles
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Ironflow API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    Hyperliquid market data from Ironflow's own nodes: tick-level fills and

    trades, candles, funding rates, liquidations, mark prices, open interest,

    markets and wallet analytics over REST. One schema across native HL perps,

    HIP-3 builder markets, HIP-4 outcome contracts and HL spot.


    **Base URL:** `https://api.ironflow.sh`


    **Authentication:** Read endpoints work without a key (keyless access) or

    with a Bearer token in the `Authorization` header. Writes always need a key.

    ```

    Authorization: Bearer if_your_api_key

    ```

    Get a free key at https://ironflow.sh/key.


    **Access levels:**


    | Access | Requests per minute | History | Max range per request |

    |---|---|---|---|

    | No key | 10 per IP | 24 hours | 1 hour |

    | Free key | 60 | 30 days | 6 hours |

    | Explorer | 100 | 90 days | 24 hours |

    | Builder | 1,000 | 1 year | 7 days |

    | Enterprise | 10,000 | full | unlimited |


    Without a market filter, high-volume endpoints allow at most 4 hours per
    request.

    A header that is present but malformed returns 401; keyless access applies
    only

    when no `Authorization` header is sent.


    **Data availability:** fills and trades cover a rolling 12 months; other

    datasets start later (funding 2025-09-27, open interest and mark prices

    2026-04-29).


    **Timestamps:** All timestamps are Unix milliseconds (int64).


    **Pagination:** Paginated endpoints return a `cursor` in
    `pagination.next_cursor`.

    Pass it as the `cursor` query parameter to fetch the next page.

    When `pagination.has_more` is `false`, you have reached the last page.

      description: |
        OHLCV candlestick data aggregated from raw trades.
        Computed on the fly by ClickHouse — no separate candle table.
        Includes buy/sell volume split.

        Supported intervals: `1m`, `5m`, `15m`, `1h`, `4h`, `1d`

        Without `from`, the window covers `limit` candles back from now (at
        most 30 days), bounded by your access level's history depth. So 24
        hourly candles return the last 24 hours, with or without a key.

        builder-deployed market with that base (e.g. `flx:GAS-PERP`). Use
        together

        with `issuer` to scope to a single builder, or alone to query across all

        issuers of the same base symbol.

        the
