Liquid Data Parser & API
Liquid was a global cryptocurrency exchange operated by Japan- and Singapore-based Quoine Corporation, known for deep fiat liquidity and 100+ spot pairs before it was acquired by FTX and wound down in 2022 — and StockAPIS normalizes its historical and archived market data (currency-pair prices, market bid/ask, last-traded price, 24h volume and fees) through a single REST API. Liquid’s original public REST API was retired alongside the platform, so StockAPIS serves its data from archived feeds mapped to the same unified schema you use for every live exchange, so you query Liquid history the same way you query Binance or Kraken.

Platform Overview
Market Position
- A formerly major global crypto exchange run by Quoine Corporation, regulated by Japan’s FSA
- 100+ trading pairs spanning spot crypto and direct fiat (USD, JPY, EUR, SGD) markets
- Built a reputation for deep fiat on/off-ramp liquidity and institutional-grade access
- Acquired by FTX in 2022 and subsequently wound down — now a historical data source rather than a live venue
Data Coverage
StockAPIS exposes Liquid’s archived market surface in a normalized form:
- Market data — last-traded price, market bid/ask, 24h volume, market cap and 24h price change per currency pair
- Currency-pair (product) metadata — product code, name, currency, taker/maker fees and minimum-withdraw fields
- Order book — depth snapshots and market-depth history where available
- Trades — recent and historical trades with timestamps, price and amount
- Candles / OHLCV — candlestick history across resolutions for backtesting and technical analysis
Quick Start
import stockapis
client = stockapis.Client(api_key="your-api-key")
# Archived Liquid market data for a currency pair
btc = client.liquid.get_market_data(symbol="BTCUSD")
print(f"Last traded: ${btc['last_traded_price']} · 24h vol {btc['volume_24h']}")const { StockAPIS } = require("stockapis");
const client = new StockAPIS({ apiKey: "your-api-key" });
// Liquid currency-pair ticker (bid / ask / last)
const ticker = await client.liquid.getMarketData({ symbol: "BTCUSD" });
console.log(ticker.market_bid, ticker.market_ask, ticker.last_traded_price);Sample API Response

}Use Cases
- Historical backtesting — pull archived Liquid candles and trades to test strategies against a once-major fiat-liquid venue
- Cross-exchange research — compare historical Liquid prices and spreads against other exchanges on one schema
- Liquidity & spread analysis — study Liquid’s market bid/ask and fee structure for venue-comparison studies
- Market reconstruction — rebuild Liquid order-book and trade history for forensic or academic analysis
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Liquid have an official API? No longer — Liquid’s public REST and WebSocket API was retired when the exchange wound down in 2022 after its FTX acquisition. StockAPIS serves Liquid’s archived market data through a unified schema so it matches every other source you pull.
What data can I get from Liquid through StockAPIS? Currency-pair prices (bid, ask, last-traded), 24h volume and price change, taker/maker fees, product metadata, plus historical order books, trades and OHLCV candles where archived.
Is Liquid still operating? No. Liquid, operated by Quoine Corporation and regulated by Japan’s FSA, was acquired by FTX in 2022 and ceased operations. StockAPIS treats it as a historical data source.
