hyperliquid-python-sdk
SDK for Hyperliquid API trading with Python.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are actively trading on Hyperliquid or building applications around it. The package has low install friction, active maintenance, permissive licensing, and no known vulnerabilities. The Alpha status means the API may change between releases, so pin your version and monitor releases. Not suitable if you need a stable, long-term-guaranteed API contract.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.9 or higher; development is tested on Python 3.10 specifically.
- Private key configuration required for trading operations.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution.

What it is and what it does
This is a Python client library for the Hyperliquid decentralized exchange, enabling developers to interact with trading APIs programmatically. It wraps HTTP and WebSocket communication to the Hyperliquid platform, handling authentication via private keys and providing methods to query account state, place orders, and retrieve market data. The SDK depends on eth-utils, eth-account, websocket-client, requests, and msgpack for Ethereum key management, network communication, and data serialization.
The package is designed for traders and developers building bots or applications on top of Hyperliquid. Configuration is file-based (JSON), and the SDK supports both mainnet and testnet environments. It is currently classified as Alpha, meaning the API surface may change; the repository is actively maintained with recent commits and a growing user base.
Use it for
- Build automated trading bots that place orders and monitor positions on Hyperliquid without manual intervention
- Query real-time account state, balances, and open orders programmatically for portfolio tracking
- Integrate Hyperliquid trading into larger financial applications or risk-management systems
- Test trading strategies on testnet before deploying to production with live capital
