Largest liquidation days (Top 10)

Top 10 single-day liquidation totals: a third-party historical baseline plus days recorded by CoinBoss

GET/api/liquidation-events

The list merges two kinds of rows, told apart by `source`. `historical_baseline` rows come from third-party public historical records; they are kept as recorded and are never recalculated. `coinboss` rows are UTC daily totals of liquidation orders CoinBoss collected from exchange feeds; a day is added only when its total is greater than the 10th place of the list at that time.

Response fields

The field table is generated from real responses, so it lists exactly what the endpoint returns. Paths use a[] for array items and {*} for objects keyed by a dynamic name such as a coin or an exchange.

Field	Type	Unit	Description
success	boolean	—	true when the request succeeded. On failure the body is `{ success: false, code, error, request_id }`.
count	number	—	Number of rows.
data	array	—	Payload.
data[]	object	—	Payload.
data[].rank_no	number	—	Position in the list, 1 = largest `total_usd`. The list holds 10 rows.
data[].event_date	string	—	Calendar day of the event, formatted `YYYY-MM-DD`. For `coinboss` rows it is a UTC day.
data[].amount_usd	number	USD	Same value as `total_usd`; kept for existing clients.
data[].total_usd	number	USD	Total notional liquidated on that day; the list is sorted by this field. `coinboss` rows: `long_usd` + `short_usd`. Baseline rows: the figure as recorded.
data[].amount_display	string	—	`total_usd` pre-formatted for display, e.g. `$3.26B`. Baseline rows carry the text as recorded.
data[].long_usd	number	USD	Liquidated longs.

data[].liquidated_traders	string\|null	—	Number of traders liquidated that day, as display text copied from the third-party record; its definition is not stated by that record. null for `coinboss` rows: CoinBoss cannot count people and reports `liquidation_count` and `account_count` instead.
data[].btc_amplitude	string(decimal)\|null	—	BTC intraday price range of that day in percent, as display text copied from the third-party record; its price source and formula are not stated by that record, so it is not comparable with `btc_range_pct`. null for `coinboss` rows.
data[].event_zh	string\|null	—	Note attached to the third-party record, in Chinese; null when the record has none and for all `coinboss` rows. CoinBoss does not assign causes.

Details

Authentication: None. Public endpoint.
Rate limit: 1200 requests per minute per IP
Server cache: 5m
Edge micro-cache: 10s
Update frequency: daily at 02:30 UTC
Window: All time for baseline rows; CoinBoss rows start on 2026-08-19 and run to yesterday (UTC).
Data sources: Baseline rows: third-party public historical records (static, not refreshed). CoinBoss rows: CoinBoss's own liquidation records collected from exchange feeds, de-duplicated and summed per UTC day. BTC prices (all rows): spot daily candles (UTC) that CoinBoss collects from Binance (BTC/USDT), Coinbase (BTC/USD) and Kraken (BTC/USD).
Exchange coverage: 10 rows. Baseline rows carry the third-party figures as recorded (`liquidated_traders`, `btc_amplitude`, `event_zh`). CoinBoss does not publish a liquidated-trader (people) count: exchange feeds do not identify people. `liquidation_count` and `account_count` exist for CoinBoss rows only, and `account_count` covers only exchanges whose data carries an account identifier (currently Hyperliquid). `btc_high`, `btc_low`, `btc_range` and `btc_range_pct` are computed for every row and are null unless all three spot venues have a final daily candle.
Sorting: total_usd desc (rank_no asc)
Units: total_usd / amount_usd / long_usd / short_usd / threshold_usd / btc_high / btc_low / btc_range in USD; btc_range_pct in percent; liquidation_count in events; account_count in accounts; event_date as calendar date; amount_display, liquidated_traders, btc_amplitude are display strings
Method: CoinBoss rows: SUM(value_usd) of collected liquidation orders per UTC day after de-duplication. A new day is admitted when its total_usd is greater than the total_usd of rank 10. All rows are then sorted by total_usd and the first 10 are returned. Baseline rows are not recomputed. BTC: btc_high / btc_low = median of the daily high / low of the three spot venues; btc_range = btc_high − btc_low; btc_range_pct = (btc_high − btc_low) / btc_low × 100.
Timestamps: Unix epoch milliseconds (UTC) unless the field description says otherwise

Errors

Failed calls share one shape on every endpoint. The full list is on the errors page. Errors and rate limits →

Code	HTTP	Meaning	What to do
INVALID_PARAM	400	A required parameter is missing or a value is not accepted. `param` names the parameter when it is known.	Do not retry unchanged; fix the request.
UNAUTHORIZED	401	The `CB-API-KEY` header was sent but the key is unknown or revoked. Public data needs no key — drop the header or use a valid key.	Do not retry unchanged.
FORBIDDEN	403	The route is not part of the public API (internal or account-only).	Do not retry.
NOT_FOUND	404	Unknown route, or the requested coin / exchange / fund does not exist.	Do not retry; check the path and identifiers against the catalog.
RATE_LIMITED	429	More requests than the per-minute limit. `Retry-After` gives the seconds to wait.	Wait for `Retry-After`, then retry with backoff.
INTERNAL	500	Unexpected server error. The message is generic by design; quote `request_id` when reporting it.	Retry once after a few seconds; report it with the request id if it persists.
UPSTREAM_FAILED	503	The data source behind this endpoint did not answer in time. No stale or substitute numbers are returned in its place.	Retry with backoff; check the status page.
UNAVAILABLE	501 / 503	The dataset is temporarily not ready (cache warming) or the endpoint has no lawful public source yet.	Retry later; the catalog marks endpoints that are unavailable by design.
REQUEST_FAILED	200	Some older endpoints answer HTTP 200 with `success: false`. Always check `success`, not only the HTTP status.	Depends on the message; treat as a failed request.
