// React Native 0.76.3 / Expo v52
// Issues:
// - signing: does not support private keys directly, use viem or ethers

import * as hl from "@nktkas/hyperliquid";
const multiSignAddress = "0x...";
const signers = [
"0x...", // Private key; or any other wallet libraries
] as const;
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",
});
First, choose and configure your transport layer (more details in the API Reference):
import * as hl from "@nktkas/hyperliquid";
// 1. HTTP Transport: suitable for one-time requests or serverless environments
const httpTransport = new hl.HttpTransport(); // Accepts optional parameters (e.g. isTestnet, timeout, etc.)
// 2. WebSocket Transport: has better network latency than HTTP transport
const wsTransport = new hl.WebSocketTransport(); // Accepts optional parameters (e.g. url, timeout, reconnect, etc.)
Next, initialize a client with the transport layer (more details in the API Reference):
import * as hl from "@nktkas/hyperliquid";
const transport = new hl.HttpTransport(); // or `WebSocketTransport`
const infoClient = new hl.InfoClient({ transport });
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 private key directly
const privateKey = "0x...";
const exchClient_privateKey = new hl.ExchangeClient({ wallet: privateKey, transport });
// 2. Using Viem
const viemAccount = privateKeyToAccount("0x...");
const exchClient_viem = new hl.ExchangeClient({ wallet: viemAccount, transport });
// 3. Using Ethers (or Ethers V5)
const ethersWallet = new ethers.Wallet("0x...");
const exchClient_ethers = new hl.ExchangeClient({ wallet: ethersWallet, transport });
// 4. 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 });
// 5. Using external wallet (e.g. MetaMask) via `window.ethereum`
const exchClient_windowMetamask = new hl.ExchangeClient({ wallet: window.ethereum, transport });
import * as hl from "@nktkas/hyperliquid";
const transport = new hl.WebSocketTransport(); // only `WebSocketTransport`
const subsClient = new hl.SubscriptionClient({ transport });
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
new ethers.Wallet("0x..."),
{ // can be a custom async wallet
async 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 hex signature
},
},
"0x...", // private key directly
];
const transport = new hl.HttpTransport();
const multiSignClient = new hl.MultiSignClient({ transport, multiSignAddress, signers }); // extends `ExchangeClient`
Finally, use client methods to interact with the Hyperliquid API (more details in the API Reference):
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..." });
import * as hl from "@nktkas/hyperliquid";
const privateKey = "0x..."; // or `viem`, `ethers`
const transport = new hl.HttpTransport();
const exchClient = new hl.ExchangeClient({ wallet: privateKey, 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",
});
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);
});
import * as hl from "@nktkas/hyperliquid";
const multiSignAddress = "0x...";
const signers = [
"0x...", // Private keys
] as const;
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",
});
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.

Transport acts as a layer between class requests and Hyperliquid servers.
HTTP transport is suitable for one-off requests or serverless environments.
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 has better network latency than HTTP 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>;
}
The import point gives access to all Hyperliquid-related types, including the base types on which class methods are based.
The import point gives access to functions that generate signatures for Hyperliquid transactions.
import { actionSorter, signL1Action } from "@nktkas/hyperliquid/signing";
const privateKey = "0x..."; // or `viem`, `ethers`
const nonce = Date.now();
const action = {

],
} as const;
const signature = await signL1Action({

Hyperliquid requires chain 1337
for L1 actions (open order, change leverage, etc.). There are two ways to execute an
L1 action through an external wallet:
- (recommended) Create an Agent Wallet and execute all L1 actions through it
- Change the user's chain to
1337
, however, the user will sign unreadable data
Hyperliquid doesn't have traditional market orders, but you can achieve market-like execution by placing limit orders
with tif: "Ioc"
and prices that guarantee immediate execution:
- For buys: set limit price >= current best ask
- For sells: set limit price <= current best bid
