## 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-spot-l2-order-book-raw-efadcee2
```

Example prompt: Pull the raw L2 order book snapshots for BTC-USDT on Binance from January 1 to January 7 at 1-hour resolution, up to 500 records.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need raw, granular Level 2 order book data for spot markets specifically — including historical snapshots at configurable resolutions across major exchanges like Binance, OKX, Bybit, and Hyperliquid. Prefer this over WebSocket streaming when you need historical (not live) order book data or batch analysis of market microstructure.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required query parameters (exchange, instrument_name) returns an error
- Invalid resolution value (not one of 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, 1d) returns a validation error
- Unsupported exchange name returns empty data or error
- Invalid or missing API key / unpaid x402 request returns 401 or 402
- Limit out of range (below 1 or above 1000) returns a validation error
- No data available for the requested time range returns empty data array
- Invalid start/end timestamp format returns a parsing error

## 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
```

Most data endpoints also support x402 pay-per-request without an API key.

## Pagination

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`.

| --- | --- |
| 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`.
