Hyperliquid API Overview

Updated on
Apr 23, 2026

Quicknode provides comprehensive API access to Hyperliquid's dual-layer architecture, supporting both HyperCore trading infrastructure and HyperEVM smart contract capabilities. Using your Hyperliquid endpoint, you can seamlessly access:

HyperCore APIs:


  • Info Endpoints (/info path) - Query comprehensive market data, user positions, order status, trading history, vault analytics, and exchange state through 50+ specialized methods covering perpetual and spot markets
  • Data Streams - Real-time streaming of trades, orders, events, and blockchain data via high-performance gRPC and JSON-RPC/WebSocket APIs
  • REST API - Trading operations (build, sign, and send orders), builder fee approval management, market discovery (list markets, open orders, order status), and order validation via HTTP REST endpoints
  • JSON-RPC API (/hypercore path) - Historical block queries, portfolio and clearinghouse state queries, order data, and WebSocket subscriptions for backfilling and batch processing

HyperEVM APIs:


  • Ethereum JSON-RPC API - Full compatibility with Ethereum tooling (Foundry, Hardhat, Web3 libraries)
  • Debug API - Advanced transaction tracing and debugging capabilities
  • Trace API - Detailed transaction analysis and monitoring tools
Plan Requirement

Access to /hypercore (JSON-RPC and WebSocket) and HyperCore gRPC streaming requires a Quicknode Build plan or higher. View pricing to upgrade.


REST API: If you are on a free trial plan, we provide a URL for you to use, but it is not specific to your Quicknode account. Please see hyperliquidapi.com for details and our Discord for support.

For detailed method documentation and implementation guides, refer to the specific API sections below.

Supported SDKsโ€‹

Quicknode maintains open-source community SDKs for Hyperliquid in multiple languages. These SDKs handle transaction building, signing, and submission for HyperCore trading operations and HyperEVM interactions.

Community SDKs

These open-source SDKs are developed and maintained by Quicknode. They are community-oriented and not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with Hyperliquid Foundation or Hyperliquid Labs.

Available SDKs:

All SDKs are open source and available on GitHub. The SDKs integrate with Quicknode endpoints for accessing /info, /exchange, /evm, /nanoreth, /hypercore, and gRPC streams. They can be used with or without a Quicknode endpoint.

For detailed SDK documentation, examples, and setup guides, see the SDKs & Libraries page.
