Why buy Bitfinex data here
Four things every page on this site is built on — and the reason the numbers above exist at all.
We record everything
The complete public feed of each venue as it was published: every Level-2 snapshot and update at the venue's full book depth, every trade with its aggressor side, every quote, funding, mark-price and liquidation event — for every instrument the venue lists, every UTC day since we added the venue. Nothing sampled, no top-N cut, no on-demand capture.
Institutional grade
Captured co-located at the venue with the exchange timestamp and our receive timestamp in integer nanoseconds, an event-id chain that makes any gap visible, and one normalized schema across 35+ venues — the same capture our own high-frequency trading engine and enterprise feeds run on.
€1 per instrument-day
Any instrument-day is €1, series-day bundles start at €1 — no subscription, no minimum order, no tiers to unlock. Credit packs lower the effective price and never expire, and every venue has free full-day samples to test against first.
Self-service for everyone
Pick the days in the Data Shop, pay by card as a guest and download immediately — no sales call, no enterprise contract, no KYC. Coding agents buy the same files through the MCP server, and the free Agent Skill teaches them the format.

How far back does Bitfinex data go?
Bitfinex coverage runs November 2023 – September 2026. Availability varies per instrument — check the per-instrument calendar on the analyze page.
Do you provide Bitfinex order-book and L2 depth data?
Yes — every file carries the full Level-2 book as the venue published it: one snapshot, then every incremental update at the venue's full depth, plus top-of-book where Bitfinex publishes a separate stream, alongside the raw trade stream — one schema across all venues.
Do you record every Bitfinex instrument, or only the top pairs?
Every instrument Bitfinex lists, every message it publishes, every UTC day since we added the venue — 244 instruments so far. No top-N cut, no sampling, no capture on demand; the archive is the complete feed, recorded co-located with nanosecond timestamps.

One zstd-compressed text file per instrument per UTC day, in the schema documented in the market-data specification. Grab free samples on the downloads page.

Yes — every free sample and every purchased tick day also exports as gzipped CSV or Parquet at no extra cost: trades and liquidations (derivatives, 2026 onward) in both formats, plus top-of-book (BBO) quotes as CSV. Timestamps are integer microseconds UTC and the columns load straight into pandas, polars or DuckDB — see the formats overview.
