Hyperliquid API rate limits

The public Hyperliquid /info API is rate limited to 1200 request weight per minute per IP address. Every /info request carries a weight cost, so heavy usage - polling many wallets, refreshing market state frequently, or running a fleet of workers behind one IP - hits the cap quickly and starts getting throttled. The GoldRush Hyperliquid Info API removes this limit entirely. It’s a drop-in /info replacement on hypercore.goldrushdata.com/info with byte-for-byte identical request and response shapes, but no per-IP, per-key, or per-address rate limits.

No rate limits with GoldRush

With no weight cap and no per-IP throttling, you can:
  • Poll any user-state endpoint as fast as your code wants.
  • Open as many concurrent connections as your client supports.
  • Pull state for thousands of wallets in tight loops.
For wallet-level real-time updates without polling at all, use the walletTxs subscription instead - push-based, also no rate limits.

How caching works

Responses are served from a real-time cache that’s kept fresh by direct ingestion from Hyperliquid. The cache is transparent to your client code - same JSON in, same JSON out. You’re not rate-limited, but polling smartly saves your own bandwidth.

Watch out for client-side limits

GoldRush has no rate limits, but the rest of your stack might:
  • Browser fetch concurrency - most browsers cap at ~6 concurrent requests per host. Use connection pooling on the server side or batch requests.
  • HTTP/2 stream limits - most clients allow 100+ concurrent streams per connection by default. Bump if you’re saturating.
  • OS file descriptor limits - if you’re opening thousands of connections, raise ulimit -n.
For multi-wallet fan-out, use the batchClearinghouseState and batchSpotClearinghouseState endpoints, which accept up to 50 wallets per call. For more than 50 wallets, issue multiple calls.

Network and TLS

  • HTTP/2 keep-alive is supported and recommended.
  • TLS 1.2+ required.
  • Accept-Encoding: gzip is honored. zstd support is on the roadmap.
