You can only use this endpoint on the official Hyperliquid public API. It is not available through Chainstack, as the open-source node implementation does not support it yet. See Hyperliquid methods for the full availability breakdown.
This endpoint requires signature authentication. See our comprehensive Authentication via Signatures guide for implementation details.
Reserves rate limit weight for upcoming requests. Useful for high-frequency trading applications that need guaranteed request capacity.

​
Parameters

​
Required parameters

  • action (object, required) — The action object containing:
    • type (string) — Must be "reserveRequestWeight"
    • weight (integer) — Amount of rate limit weight to reserve
  • nonce (number, required) — Current timestamp in milliseconds (must be recent)
  • signature (object, required) — EIP-712 signature of the action

​
Optional parameters

  • vaultAddress (string, optional) — Address when trading on behalf of a vault or subaccount

​
Returns

Returns an object with the action status:
  • status — "ok" if request processed
  • response — Contains action result data

​
Example request

curl -X POST https://api.hyperliquid.xyz/exchange \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "action": {"type": "reserveRequestWeight"},
    "nonce": 1234567890123,
    "signature": {...}
  }'

# The hyperliquid-python-sdk does not expose a dedicated reserveRequestWeight
# method, so build and sign the L1 action with the SDK signing primitives.
from eth_account import Account
from hyperliquid.exchange import Exchange
from hyperliquid.utils import constants
from hyperliquid.utils.signing import sign_l1_action, get_timestamp_ms

wallet = Account.from_key("0x...")  # your API wallet private key
exchange = Exchange(wallet, constants.MAINNET_API_URL)

action = {"type": "reserveRequestWeight", "weight": 10}
nonce = get_timestamp_ms()

signature = sign_l1_action(
    wallet,
    action,
    exchange.vault_address,
    nonce,
    exchange.expires_after,
    exchange.base_url == constants.MAINNET_API_URL,
)

result = exchange._post_action(action, signature, nonce)
print(result)

import { ExchangeClient, HttpTransport } from "@nktkas/hyperliquid";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

const wallet = privateKeyToAccount("0x..."); // your API wallet private key
const transport = new HttpTransport(); // default public Hyperliquid API
const exchange = new ExchangeClient({ transport, wallet });

const result = await exchange.reserveRequestWeight({ weight: 10 });
console.log(result);

​
Use case

  • Reserve request weight — Reserves rate limit weight for upcoming requests. Useful for high-frequency trading applications that need guaranteed request capacity.
Always ensure your system clock is synchronized. Nonce must be within a reasonable time window of the current server time or the request will be rejected.
