## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability laevitas-market-summary-history-9f5a1913 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull me the derivatives_summary history for BTC on Laevitas from January 1, 2024 to March 31, 2024 with 1-day resolution, page 1, limit 100 rows.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need paginated historical time-series data for crypto derivatives or futures market summaries — including perpetual contract aggregates, exchange-level activity totals, rolling liquidations, or spot realized volatility — across a defined date range. Prefer this over real-time endpoints when performing backtesting, trend analysis, or historical research. Use the series parameter to select between currency-level summaries (derivatives_summary, futures_alt_summary) or exchange-level aggregates (futures_exchange_activity, futures_global_activity).

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (start, end, series) returns a validation error
- Invalid series enum value returns 400 bad request
- Exchange parameter provided for currency-only series (derivatives_summary, futures_alt_summary) causes error
- Currency parameter provided for venue-only series (futures_exchange_activity, futures_global_activity) causes error
- Requesting data older than 1 year without sufficient API credits or subscription returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid ISO-8601 timestamp format returns parsing error
- Page number beyond total_pages returns empty items array
- Unsupported resolution enum value returns 400
- Expired or invalid API key returns 401 Unauthorized

## How this service works

Professional market data API for crypto derivatives, spot markets, prediction markets, Hyperliquid HyperCore data, proprietary volatility surfaces, and analytics.

## Authentication

Use an API key for authenticated REST requests:

```http
X-API-Key: your-api-key-here
```

Data and history endpoints also accept x402 without an API key: 1, 5 or 10 credits ($0.001 each) for data up to 1 year, 1–3 years or older.

**Subscriptions with USDC:** Premium and Enterprise can be purchased on Base or Solana for a month, a quarter, six months or a year. Access is prepaid, with no automatic renewal. [Buy a subscription](https://v3.laevitas.ch/profile/subscription/wallet) or read the [USDC subscription guide](/x402#subscriptions).

The subscription belongs to your signed-in Laevitas account; wallet sign-in does not require an email. Enterprise users generate an API key in V3 after activation. Plan and billing-period limits still apply. Subscription purchases are separate from API credit bundles.

For Claude MCP, add `https://apiv2.laevitas.ch/api/v1/mcp`, select **Sign in now → Register automatically**
with no custom headers, and authorize with your API key on the Laevitas page.
Do not enter a client ID or secret manually. All OAuth clients require PKCE S256.
Connection guide: [MCP setup](/mcp). CIMD / published client identity is not supported.

## REST Surfaces

| Surface | Examples |
| --- | --- |
| Instruments | Cross-market contract reference data |
| Futures | OHLCVT, trades, tickers, orderbook, liquidations, carry |
| Perpetuals | OHLCVT, trades, funding, open interest, orderbook, liquidations |
| Options | OHLCVT, trades, Greeks, volatility, flow, dealer GEX |
| Options Backtests | Strategy templates, asynchronous submission, status, combined results, cancellation |
| Vol Surface | Proprietary surface snapshots, slices, strikes, term structure, risk |
| Spot | OHLCVT, ticker, trades, volume, L2 orderbook, snapshots |
| Predictions | Polymarket instruments, categories, trades, ticker history |
| Hyperliquid - HyperCore | Node-derived fills, liquidations, positions, funding, TWAPs, resting orders, L2 books |
| Analytics | Realized volatility and derived metrics |

## Pagination

Backtests are asynchronous jobs, not paginated market-data queries. Start with
`GET /api/v1/options/backtests/strategies`, submit with `POST /api/v1/options/backtests`,
then poll `/{id}` and retrieve `/{id}/result`. These responses have no data/meta wrapper.

Paginated endpoints return the cursor at `meta.next_cursor`. Pass that value back as the `cursor` query parameter to fetch the next page.

## WebSocket Streaming

Real-time streams are documented at `/websocket`.

| Data | Channel pattern |
| --- | --- |
| Trades | `trades.{market}.{exchange}.{instrument}` |
| OHLC ticker | `ohlc.ticker.{market}.{exchange}.{instrument}.{timeframe}` |
| OHLCVT | `ohlc.vt.{market}.{exchange}.{instrument}.{timeframe}` |

Variables: `market` is one of `perpetuals`, `futures`, `options`, or `spot`; `timeframe` is one of `1m`, `5m`, `15m`, `1h`, `4h`, or `1d`.

## Quick Start

```bash
curl "https://apiv2.laevitas.ch/api/v1/futures/ohlcvt?exchange=deribit&instrument_name=BTC-PERPETUAL" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your-api-key-here"
```

## Output

Returns a paginated JSON object with dataset_id, series name, metadata (total rows, page info, data availability/coverage, completeness), and an array of time-series items containing derivatives or futures summary metrics such as open interest, volume, realized volatility, and liquidations for the requested window and resolution.
