Hyperliquid

Hyperliquid is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain (HyperBFT consensus, HyperCore + HyperEVM execution) best known for its native perpetual futures and spot DEX with capacity for hundreds of thousands of orders per second. Developers and traders interact with Hyperliquid through a public REST and WebSocket API at api.hyperliquid.xyz for trading, order management, market data, and account state. Official Python and Rust SDKs wrap the API, and the node, order-book server, and HyperEVM tooling are open-sourced under the hyperliquid-dex GitHub organization.

agent aware

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Hyperliquid the way a machine reads it — 15 machine-readable artifacts across 7 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Hyperliquid scores 38.8/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 44/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Hyperliquid

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Hyperliquid. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 7

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Hyperliquid REST API

Public REST API for the Hyperliquid exchange. Read endpoints expose market metadata, order books, candles, trades, funding rates, user state, open orders, fills, and historical ...

Hyperliquid WebSocket API

Real-time WebSocket feed delivering order-book deltas, trades, candles, BBO, user fills, user funding, user-events, and active asset context. Also supports WebSocket-based POST ...

Hyperliquid Python SDK

Official Python SDK for the Hyperliquid REST and WebSocket APIs. Handles EIP-712 signing, action serialization, websocket subscription management, and typed wrappers for market ...

Hyperliquid Rust SDK

Official Rust SDK for the Hyperliquid REST and WebSocket APIs, suited for high-performance market-making and trading clients.

Hyperliquid Node

Open-source Hyperliquid validator / non-validating node distribution used to participate in the HyperBFT consensus network and serve HyperCore + HyperEVM state.

HyperEVM JSON-RPC

EVM-compatible JSON-RPC endpoint exposed by Hyperliquid for deploying and interacting with smart contracts on HyperEVM (chain ID 999), executed alongside HyperCore.

Hyperliquid Info API

The Info API from Hyperliquid — 1 operation(s) for info.

Open Collections 1

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).

OPEN COLLECTION

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.

Event Specifications 1

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

AsyncAPI definitions for this provider's event-driven and streaming APIs.

Hyperliquid WebSocket API

AsyncAPI 2.6 specification for the Hyperliquid public WebSocket API. Clients connect to wss://api.hyperliquid.xyz/ws (mainnet) or wss://api.hyperliquid-testnet.xyz/ws (testnet) ...

Spectral Rules 1

Governance rulesets we run against this provider's specs — the automated checks behind parts of the score. Profiling them makes the quality bar explicit and re-runnable, not a matter of opinion.

Hyperliquid API Rules

5 rules · 1 errors · 4 warnings

Security Posture 1

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.

Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.
