# Hyperliquid tooling

> Set up the Hyperliquid Python SDK, configure API credentials, and connect your development environment to Hyperliquid through Chainstack RPC nodes.

Get started with a [reliable Hyperliquid RPC endpoint](https://chainstack.com/build-better-with-hyperliquid/) to use the tools below.

## Python SDK

Build Hyperliquid trading applications with the official Python SDK. The [Hyperliquid Python SDK](https://github.com/hyperliquid-dex/hyperliquid-python-sdk) provides comprehensive access to trading functionality, market data, and account management.

Install the SDK:

```bash theme={"system"}
pip install hyperliquid-python-sdk
```

Use the SDK to interact with your Chainstack Hyperliquid node:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  from hyperliquid.info import Info
  from hyperliquid.utils import constants

  # Use your Chainstack endpoint
  info = Info("YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT", skip_ws=True)
  user_state = info.user_state("0xcd5051944f780a621ee62e39e493c489668acf4d")
  print(user_state)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## TypeScript SDK

For TypeScript/JavaScript developers, the community-maintained [@nktkas/hyperliquid](https://github.com/nktkas/hyperliquid) SDK provides comprehensive API coverage with full type safety.

Install the SDK:

```bash theme={"system"}
npm install @nktkas/hyperliquid
```

Use the SDK:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript TypeScript theme={"system"}
  import { InfoClient, ExchangeClient, HttpTransport } from "@nktkas/hyperliquid";
  import { PrivateKeySigner } from "@nktkas/hyperliquid/signing";

  // Query market data (no authentication required)
  const info = new InfoClient({ transport: new HttpTransport() });
  const meta = await info.meta();
  console.log(meta);

  // Trading operations (requires authentication)
  const signer = new PrivateKeySigner({ privateKey: "0xac0974bec39a17e36ba4a6b4d238ff944bacb478cbed5efcae784d7bf4f2ff80" });
  const exchange = new ExchangeClient({
    transport: new HttpTransport(),
    wallet: signer
  });

  const result = await exchange.order({
    orders: [{
      a: 0,  // Asset index (0 = BTC)
      b: true,  // is_buy
      p: "50000",  // price
      s: "0.001",  // size
      r: false,  // reduce_only
      t: { limit: { tif: "Gtc" } }
    }],
    grouping: "na"
  });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The SDK also supports viem and ethers wallet integrations. See the [debugging signature errors guide](/docs/hyperliquid-debugging-signature-errors) for advanced integration patterns.

## Rust SDK

For Rust developers, use the [Hyperliquid Rust SDK](https://github.com/hyperliquid-dex/hyperliquid-rust-sdk) to build high-performance trading applications.

Install the SDK:

```bash theme={"system"}
cargo add hyperliquid_rust_sdk
```

## REST API

Interact with the Hyperliquid DEX through your Hyperliquid node using the REST API. See the complete [Hyperliquid API reference](/reference/hyperliquid-getting-started) for all available endpoints.

Use your Chainstack Hyperliquid REST endpoint to access market data and execute trades through HTTP requests.

## JSON-RPC API

Interact with the HyperEVM of Hyperliquid through your Hyperliquid node using the JSON-RPC API. See the complete [Hyperliquid API reference](/reference/hyperliquid-getting-started) for all available endpoints.

Use your Chainstack Hyperliquid JSON-RPC endpoint to retrieve the EVM chain state of Hyperliquid.

### Debug & Trace APIs

Hyperliquid HyperEVM supports debug and trace APIs on both mainnet and testnet for smart contract debugging and transaction tracing. To enable these APIs, deploy a [global node](/docs/global-elastic-node) with debug & trace APIs enabled. See [Debug & Trace APIs](/docs/debug-and-trace-apis#hyperliquid) for more information.

## Hyperliquid system transactions

By default, the HyperCore ↔ HyperEVM transfers (aka [system transactions](/docs/hyperliquid-node-configuration)) are excluded.

Hyperliquid system transactions are available on [Dedicated Nodes](/docs/dedicated-node) only.
