Connection constraints
| Constraint | Limit | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Message metering | 1 credit/msg | Each WebSocket message counts as 1 API credit toward monthly quota |
| Idle timeout (with subscriptions) | 60 seconds | Send ping every 30s to keep alive |
| Idle timeout (no subscriptions) | 5 minutes | Connections without subscriptions timeout after 5 minutes |
| Subscription rate limit | 10/second | Max subscribe/unsubscribe operations per second |
| Concurrent replay tasks | 1 | One replay per connection at a time (multi-channel counts as one replay) |
| Multi-channel constraint | Same exchange | All channels in a multi-channel replay must be from the same exchange (e.g., all Hyperliquid or all Lighter; HIP-3 and HIP-4 are separate exchanges and cannot be mixed) |
| Per-request range limit | Tier-based | Free: 30 days max, Build/Pro/Enterprise: Unlimited |
| Data availability | Varies by channel | Hyperliquid: April 2023+ (orderbook snapshot spacing varies by market activity and query window; OI/funding: May 2023+, candles: March 2025+, liquidations: December 2025+, L4: March 2026+). Lighter: August 2025+ (trades, candles, OI, funding), January 2026+ (L2 orderbook), March 2026+ (L3 orderbook). HIP-3: February 2026+ for trades, candles, orderbook, OI/funding, and liquidations; L4 March 2026+. HIP-4: May 2026+ for L2/L4 orderbook, trades, OI, and order lifecycle (no funding, no liquidations, no candles by design). |
