See Lighter historical data coverage: available symbols, channels, date ranges and incidents

Downloadable CSV files

Historical CSV datasets for the first day of each month are available to download without API key. See downloadable CSV files documentation.

Lighter data collection started after the April 2026 monthly sample date. Public monthly sample links will be available from the next first-day dataset.

API Access and data format

Historical data format is the same as provided by real-time Lighter WebSocket API with addition of local timestamps. Lighter symbols in Tardis.dev APIs are numeric market ids, for example 1 for a perpetual market and 2048 for a spot market. If you'd like to work with normalized data format instead (same format for each exchange) see downloadable CSV files or official client libs that can perform data normalization client-side.

Python

# pip install tardis-dev
import asyncio
from tardis_dev import Channel, replay

async def main():
    async for local_timestamp, message in replay(
        exchange="lighter",
        from_date="2026-04-17",
        to_date="2026-04-18",
        filters=[Channel(name="order_book", symbols=["1"])],
        api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    ):
        # messages as provided by Lighter real-time stream
        print(message)

asyncio.run(main())
