DEX Screener for Order-Book History: What It Can and Cannot Cover

DEX Screener reports pool liquidity snapshots, not order books. A depth history can only be built by storing those snapshots over time.

Short answer

DEX Screener's pair data includes liquidity (and liquidity.usd, nullable) at the time of the request, with no order book and no stored history in the reference reviewed. To approximate depth history for a DEX pool, poll and store liquidity with your retrieval time. That shows total liquidity, not where it sits by price. ChartsPod covers order-book depth on CEX and Hyperliquid markets.
