# Get Whale Trades History

> Returns historical whale trades from local whale_alerts rows, not request-time provider fetches. Filter by condition_id, trader, category, minimum grade, platform, and RFC3339 from/to windows. All filters are pushed into SQL before LIMIT, every request uses SQL-backed limit + 1 pagination, and results are ordered newest first by traded_at desc, id desc. Metadata exposes local_replay source and best_effort completeness.

Bounded historical whale-trade ranges. Built for backtests, recap reports, and warming a cache after a deploy. For the live feed, use [Get Whale Trades](/api-reference/endpoint/get-whale-trades).

```bash theme={null}
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $OXINSIDER_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.0xinsider.com/api/v1/whale-trades/history?from=2026-04-01T00:00:00Z&to=2026-04-30T23:59:59Z&min_grade=A&limit=100"
```

Responses carry trust metadata, so you can tell provider-backed from reconciled or partial ranges. See [Trust metadata](/api-reference/introduction#trust-metadata).

  description: >-
    Find your edge on Polymarket and Kalshi. Every wallet graded, every trade
    scored, every outlier flagged. API exposes trader grades, whale trades,
    smart money signals, and insider detection for AI agents, trading bots, and
    research tools. Normal API requests use a 30-second server timeout that
    returns HTTP 408 Request Timeout with an empty body when exceeded. Public
    REST /api/v1/* endpoints, excluding /api/v1/mcp, use Bearer-token based
    non-credentialed browser CORS: any Origin may call with Authorization,
    Content-Type, If-None-Match, Idempotency-Key, and Mcp-Session-Id request
    headers. Remote MCP at /api/v1/mcp is non-credentialed, but still validates
    Origin against the 0xinsider/localhost allowlist per MCP Streamable HTTP
    DNS-rebinding guidance. Successful browser CORS preflight responses
    advertise Access-Control-Max-Age: 86400. Browser JavaScript may read
    X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Reset, Retry-After,
    ETag, X-Request-Id, X-Request-Cost, X-Batch-RateLimit-Limit,
    X-Batch-RateLimit-Remaining, X-Batch-RateLimit-Reset, Mcp-Session-Id, and
    X-Mcp-Error-Code response headers. Credentialed first-party routes such as
    /api/keys, /api/billing, and auth endpoints remain restricted to configured
    0xinsider origins.
