[!NOTE] While this library is in TypeScript, it can also be used in JavaScript and supports ESM/CommonJS.

Node.js (choose your package manager)

npm i @nktkas/hyperliquid

pnpm add @nktkas/hyperliquid

yarn add @nktkas/hyperliquid

Deno

deno add jsr:@nktkas/hyperliquid

Web

<script type="module">
    import * as hl from "https://esm.sh/jsr/@nktkas/hyperliquid";
    // Use hl.InfoClient, hl.ExchangeClient, etc.
</script>

Quick Start

Info endpoint

import * as hl from "@nktkas/hyperliquid";

const transport = new hl.HttpTransport();
const infoClient = new hl.InfoClient({ transport });

const openOrders = await infoClient.openOrders({ user: "0x..." });

Exchange endpoint

import * as hl from "@nktkas/hyperliquid";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts"; // or other wallet libraries

const wallet = privateKeyToAccount("0x...");

const transport = new hl.HttpTransport();
const exchClient = new hl.ExchangeClient({ wallet, transport });

const result = await exchClient.order({
    orders: [{
        a: 0,
        b: true,
        p: "30000",
        s: "0.1",
        r: false,
        t: {
            limit: {
                tif: "Gtc",
            },
        },
    }],
    grouping: "na",
});

Subscription

import * as hl from "@nktkas/hyperliquid";

const transport = new hl.WebSocketTransport();
const subsClient = new hl.SubscriptionClient({ transport });

const sub = await subsClient.allMids((event) => {
    console.log(event);
});

await sub.unsubscribe(); // unsubscribe from the event

Multi-Sign

import * as hl from "@nktkas/hyperliquid";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts"; // or other wallet libraries

const multiSignAddress = "0x...";
const signers = [
    privateKeyToAccount("0x..."), // first is leader
    privateKeyToAccount("0x..."), // can be a custom async wallet
    // ...
    privateKeyToAccount("0x..."),
];

const transport = new hl.HttpTransport();
const multiSignClient = new hl.MultiSignClient({ transport, multiSignAddress, signers }); // extends ExchangeClient

const data = await multiSignClient.approveAgent({ // same API as ExchangeClient
    agentAddress: "0x...",
    agentName: "agentName",
});

Usage

1) Initialize Transport

First, choose and configure your transport layer (more details in the API Reference):

import * as hl from "@nktkas/hyperliquid";

// HTTP Transport
const httpTransport = new hl.HttpTransport(); // Accepts optional parameters

// WebSocket Transport
const wsTransport = new hl.WebSocketTransport(); // Accepts optional parameters

2) Initialize Client

Next, initialize a client with the transport layer (more details in the API Reference):

Create InfoClient

import * as hl from "@nktkas/hyperliquid";

const transport = new hl.HttpTransport(); // or WebSocketTransport
const infoClient = new hl.InfoClient({ transport });

Create ExchangeClient

import * as hl from "@nktkas/hyperliquid";
import { createWalletClient, custom } from "viem";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
import { ethers } from "ethers";

const transport = new hl.HttpTransport(); // or WebSocketTransport

// 1. Using Viem with private key
const viemAccount = privateKeyToAccount("0x...");
const exchClient_viem = new hl.ExchangeClient({ wallet: viemAccount, transport });

// 2. Using Ethers (or Ethers V5) with private key
const ethersWallet = new ethers.Wallet("0x...");
const exchClient_ethers = new hl.ExchangeClient({ wallet: ethersWallet, transport });

// 3. Using external wallet (e.g. MetaMask) via Viem
const [account] = await window.ethereum.request({ method: "eth_requestAccounts" });
const externalWallet = createWalletClient({ account, transport: custom(window.ethereum) });
const exchClient_viemMetamask = new hl.ExchangeClient({ wallet: externalWallet, transport });

// 4. Using external wallet (e.g. MetaMask) via `window.ethereum` (EIP-1193)
const exchClient_windowMetamask = new hl.ExchangeClient({ wallet: window.ethereum, transport });

Create SubscriptionClient

import * as hl from "@nktkas/hyperliquid";

const transport = new hl.WebSocketTransport(); // only WebSocketTransport
const subsClient = new hl.SubscriptionClient({ transport });

Create MultiSignClient

import * as hl from "@nktkas/hyperliquid";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
import { ethers } from "ethers";

const multiSignAddress = "0x...";
const signers = [
    privateKeyToAccount("0x..."), // first is leader for multi-sign transaction, must contain own address
    { // can be a custom async wallet
        signTypedData(params: {
            domain: {
                name: string;
                version: string;
                chainId: number;
                verifyingContract: Hex;
            };
            types: {
                [key: string]: {
                    name: string;
                    type: string;
                }[];
            };
            primaryType: string;
            message: Record<string, unknown>;
        }): Promise<Hex> {
            // Custom signer logic
            return "0x..."; // return signature
        },
    },
    // ...
    new ethers.Wallet("0x..."),
];

const transport = new hl.HttpTransport();
const multiSignClient = new hl.MultiSignClient({ transport, multiSignAddress, signers }); // extends ExchangeClient

3) Use Client

Finally, use client methods to interact with the Hyperliquid API (more details in the API Reference):

Example of using an InfoClient

import * as hl from "@nktkas/hyperliquid";

const transport = new hl.HttpTransport();
const infoClient = new hl.InfoClient({ transport });

// L2 Book
const l2Book = await infoClient.l2Book({ coin: "BTC" });

// Account clearinghouse state
const clearinghouseState = await infoClient.clearinghouseState({ user: "0x..." });

// Open orders
const openOrders = await infoClient.openOrders({ user: "0x..." });

Example of using an ExchangeClient

import * as hl from "@nktkas/hyperliquid";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

const account = privateKeyToAccount("0x...");

const transport = new hl.HttpTransport();
const exchClient = new hl.ExchangeClient({ wallet: account, transport });

// Place an orders
const result = await exchClient.order({
    orders: [{
        a: 0,
        b: true,
        p: "30000",
        s: "0.1",
        r: false,
        t: {
            limit: {
                tif: "Gtc",
            },
        },
    }],
    grouping: "na",
});

// Approve an agent
const result = await exchClient.approveAgent({
    agentAddress: "0x...",
    agentName: "agentName",
});

// Withdraw funds
const result = await exchClient.withdraw3({
    destination: account.address,
    amount: "100",
});

Example of using a SubscriptionClient

import * as hl from "@nktkas/hyperliquid";

const transport = new hl.WebSocketTransport();
const subsClient = new hl.SubscriptionClient({ transport });

// L2 Book updates
await subsClient.l2Book({ coin: "BTC" }, (data) => {
    console.log(data);
});

// User fills
await subsClient.userFills({ user: "0x..." }, (data) => {
    console.log(data);
});

// Candle updates
const sub = await subsClient.candle({ coin: "BTC", interval: "1h" }, (data) => {
    console.log(data);
});

Example of using a MultiSignClient

import * as hl from "@nktkas/hyperliquid";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

const multiSignAddress = "0x...";
const signers = [privateKeyToAccount("0x...")];

const transport = new hl.HttpTransport();
const multiSignClient = new hl.MultiSignClient({ transport, multiSignAddress, signers });

// Interaction is the same as with ExchangeClient

// Place an orders
const result = await multiSignClient.order({
    orders: [{
        a: 0,
        b: true,
        p: "30000",
        s: "0.1",
        r: false,
        t: {
            limit: {
                tif: "Gtc",
            },
        },
    }],
    grouping: "na",
});

// Approve an agent
const result = await multiSignClient.approveAgent({
    agentAddress: "0x...",
    agentName: "agentName",
});

// Withdraw funds
const result = await multiSignClient.withdraw3({
    destination: account.address,
    amount: "100",
});

API Reference

Clients

A client is an interface through which you can interact with the Hyperliquid API.

The client is responsible for formatting an action, creating a signature correctly, sending a request, and validating a response.

    // Same methods as ExchangeClient
}

Transports

Transport acts as a layer between the class and Hyperliquid servers.

HTTP Transport

class HttpTransport {
    constructor(options?: {
        isTestnet?: boolean; // Whether to use testnet url (default: false)
        timeout?: number; // Request timeout in ms (default: 10_000)
        server?: { // Custom server URLs
            mainnet?: { api?: string | URL; rpc?: string | URL };
            testnet?: { api?: string | URL; rpc?: string | URL };
        };
        fetchOptions?: RequestInit; // A custom fetch options
        onRequest?: (request: Request) => MaybePromise<Request | void | null | undefined>; // A callback before request is sent
        onResponse?: (response: Response) => MaybePromise<Response | void | null | undefined>; // A callback after response is received
    });
}

WebSocket Transport

class WebSocketTransport {
    constructor(options?: {
        url?: string | URL; // WebSocket URL (default: "wss://api.hyperliquid.xyz/ws")
        timeout?: number; // Request timeout in ms (default: 10_000)
        keepAlive?: {
            interval?: number; // Ping interval in ms (default: 30_000)
            timeout?: number; // Pong timeout in ms (default: same as `timeout` for requests)
        };
        reconnect?: {
            maxRetries?: number; // Maximum number of reconnection attempts (default: 3)
            connectionTimeout?: number; // Connection timeout in ms (default: 10_000)
            connectionDelay?: number | ((attempt: number) => number | Promise<number>); // Delay between reconnection (default: Exponential backoff (max 10s))
            shouldReconnect?: (event: CloseEvent) => boolean | Promise<boolean>; // Custom reconnection logic (default: Always reconnect)
            messageBuffer?: MessageBufferStrategy; // Message buffering strategy between reconnection (default: FIFO buffer)
        };
        autoResubscribe?: boolean; // Whether to automatically resubscribe to events after reconnection (default: true)
    });
    ready(signal?: AbortSignal): Promise<void>;
    close(signal?: AbortSignal): Promise<void>;
}

Additional Import Points

`/types`

The import point gives access to all Hyperliquid-related types, including the base types on which class methods are based.

`/signing`

The import point gives access to functions that generate signatures for Hyperliquid transactions.

Examples

Cancel order yourself

import { actionSorter, signL1Action } from "@nktkas/hyperliquid/signing";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts"; // or other wallet libraries

const wallet = privateKeyToAccount("0x...");

const action = {
    type: "cancel",
    cancels: [
        { a: 0, o: 12345 },
    ],
};
const nonce = Date.now();

const signature = await signL1Action({
    wallet,
    action: actionSorter[action.type](action), // key order affects signature
    nonce,
    isTestnet: true, // change to `false` for mainnet
});

const response = await fetch("https://api.hyperliquid-testnet.xyz/exchange", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
    body: JSON.stringify({ action, signature, nonce }),
});
const body = await response.json();

Approve agent yourself

import { signUserSignedAction, userSignedActionEip712Types } from "@nktkas/hyperliquid/signing";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts"; // or other wallet libraries

const wallet = privateKeyToAccount("0x...");

const action = {
    type: "approveAgent",
    signatureChainId: "0x66eee", // must match the current wallet network
    hyperliquidChain: "Testnet", // Mainnet | Testnet
    agentAddress: "0x...",
    agentName: "Agent",
    nonce: Date.now(),
};

const signature = await signUserSignedAction({
    wallet,
    action,
    types: userSignedActionEip712Types[action.type], // key order affects signature
    chainId: parseInt(action.signatureChainId, 16),
});

const response = await fetch("https://api.hyperliquid-testnet.xyz/exchange", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
    body: JSON.stringify({ action, signature, nonce: action.nonce }),
});
const body = await response.json();
