hyperliquidnw

Hyperliquid API SDK

Typescript SDK to more easily interact with Hyperliquid's API

All info on the Hyperliquid API can be found here: HyperLiquid API Documentation

Installation

npm install --save hyperliquidnw

Usage

API Agent Wallet Usage: If you are using API Agent wallets everything works as normal but you need to add your actual account's wallet address in the Hyperliquid object field 'walletAddress'.

If you don't do this you will be unable to use some of the SDK methods successfully. If you are using your own Private Key then it's not necessary as the SDK can derive your wallet address from the Private key.

const { Hyperliquid } = require('hyperliquidnw');

const sdk = new Hyperliquid({
  enableWs: true, // boolean (OPTIONAL) - Enable/disable WebSocket functionality, defaults to true
  privateKey: <private_key - string>,
  testnet: <testnet - boolean (OPTIONAL)>,
  walletAddress: <walletAddress - string (Required if you are using an API Agent Wallet, otherwise not necessary)>,
  vaultAddress: <vaultAddress - string (OPTIONAL)>
  maxReconnectAttempts: <maxReconnectAttempts - number (OPTIONAL)>
});

// Use the SDK methods
sdk.info.getAllMids().then(allMids => {
  console.log(allMids);
});

Note: You don't have to provide your private key, but it is required if you want to use the exchange API to place, cancel or modify orders or access your accounts assets. WebSocket functionality is enabled by default but can be disabled by setting enableWs: false in the constructor options.

Symbol Naming Convention

Instead of using native symbols (which can be confusing, like @1, @4, @5 for spot and only the coin name for perps), we've implemented a more intuitive naming system:

• For perpetuals: <coin>-PERP (e.g., BTC-PERP, ETH-PERP)
• For spot: <coin>-SPOT (e.g., PURR-SPOT, BTC-SPOT)

This convention makes it easier to distinguish between spot and perpetual markets.

Examples

Exchange API Methods

// Place an order
sdk.exchange.placeOrder({
  coin: 'BTC-PERP',
  is_buy: true,
  sz: 1,
  limit_px: 30000,
  order_type: { limit: { tif: 'Gtc' } },
  reduce_only: false,
  vaultAddress: '0x...' // optional
}).then(placeOrderResult => {
  console.log(placeOrderResult);
}).catch(error => {
  console.error('Error placing order:', error);
});

// Multiple orders can be passed as an array or order objects
// The grouping, vaultAddress and builder properties are optional
// Grouping determines how multiple orders are treated by the exchange endpoint in terms
// of transaction priority, execution and dependency. Defaults to 'na' if not specified.
sdk.exchange.placeOrder({
  orders: [{
    coin: 'BTC-PERP',
    is_buy: true,
    sz: 1,
    limit_px: 30000,
    order_type: { limit: { tif: 'Gtc' } },
    reduce_only: false
  }],
  vaultAddress: '0x...',
  grouping: 'normalTpsl',
  builder: {
    address: '0x...',
    fee: 999,
  }
}).then(placeOrderResult => {
  console.log(placeOrderResult);
}).catch(error => {
  console.error('Error placing order:', error);
});

// Cancel an order
sdk.exchange.cancelOrder({
  coin: 'BTC-PERP',
  o: 123456 // order ID
}).then(cancelOrderResult => {
  console.log(cancelOrderResult);
}).catch(error => {
  console.error('Error cancelling order:', error);
});

// Transfer between perpetual and spot accounts
sdk.exchange.transferBetweenSpotAndPerp(100, true) // Transfer 100 USDC from spot to perp
  .then(transferResult => {
    console.log(transferResult);
  }).catch(error => {
    console.error('Error transferring funds:', error);
  });

Initialization

In most cases the SDK will automatically initialize itself when required. However, in some cases you may need to explicitly initialize the SDK. You can use this method to initialize the SDK:

await sdk.connect();

p.s. You only need to worry about this if the SDK throws you an error telling you that it needs to be initialized.

Disclaimer

If you don't have an existing referral and use this SDK then your referral will be set by the SDK. This gives you a 4% discount on fees and gives me a percentage of the fees you pay so that I can keep working on and maintaining the SDK. You get a 4% fee discount & an easy-to-use SDK and in return I get some compensation for maintaining it, win-win

p.s. All referral commissions from this SDK will go towards buying HYPE and other HL-related coins, so it will function as an extension of the assistance fund essentially
