​
Parameters

​
Request body

  • type (string, required) — The request type. Must be "userRateLimit" to retrieve user’s rate limit information.
  • user (string, required) — Address in 42-character hexadecimal format (e.g., 0x31ca8395cf837de08b24da3f660e77761dfb974b).

​
Response

The response is an object containing comprehensive rate limit information for the user:

​
Rate limit configuration

  • userAddress (string) — Address of the user (matches the requested user)
  • rateLimitTier (string) — Rate limit tier assigned to the user:
    • "standard" — Basic rate limits for regular users
    • "premium" — Enhanced limits for active traders
    • "vip" — Highest limits for institutional or high-volume users

​
Limit specifications

  • requestsPerSecond (integer, optional) — Maximum allowed requests per second
  • requestsPerMinute (integer, optional) — Maximum allowed requests per minute
  • requestsPerHour (integer, optional) — Maximum allowed requests per hour
  • burstLimit (integer, optional) — Maximum burst requests allowed in short periods

​
Current usage tracking

  • currentUsage (object, optional) — Real-time API usage statistics:
    • requestsLastSecond (integer) — Number of requests made in the last second
    • requestsLastMinute (integer) — Number of requests made in the last minute
    • requestsLastHour (integer) — Number of requests made in the last hour

​
Reset timing

  • resetTimes (object, optional) — When rate limit counters reset:
    • nextSecondReset (integer) — Timestamp when per-second counter resets (milliseconds)
    • nextMinuteReset (integer) — Timestamp when per-minute counter resets (milliseconds)
    • nextHourReset (integer) — Timestamp when per-hour counter resets (milliseconds)

​
Status information

  • isThrottled (boolean, optional) — Whether the user is currently being rate limited
  • upgradeAvailable (boolean, optional) — Whether higher rate limit tiers are available

​
Understanding rate limits

Rate limit tiers:
  • Standard: Basic limits suitable for manual trading and light automation
  • Premium: Enhanced limits for active algorithmic trading
  • VIP: Highest limits for institutional users and market makers
Time windows:
  • Per-second: Short-term burst protection
  • Per-minute: Medium-term usage control
  • Per-hour: Long-term usage management
Usage optimization:
  • Monitor current usage to stay within limits
  • Implement backoff strategies when approaching limits
  • Use reset times to optimize request timing
  • Consider rate limit upgrades for high-frequency needs

​
Use case

The info endpoint with type: "userRateLimit" is essential for applications that need to:
  • API usage optimization: Monitor and optimize API request patterns to avoid rate limiting
  • Request scheduling: Plan API calls based on current usage and reset times
  • Error handling: Implement proper backoff strategies when rate limits are reached
  • Performance monitoring: Track API usage patterns and identify optimization opportunities
  • Capacity planning: Understand rate limit constraints for application design
  • Automated trading: Ensure trading bots operate within API usage limits
  • High-frequency systems: Optimize request timing for maximum throughput
  • Usage dashboards: Display real-time API usage and remaining capacity
  • Tier management: Monitor rate limit tier status and upgrade availability
  • Compliance monitoring: Ensure applications stay within assigned usage limits
  • Load balancing: Distribute API calls across time windows to maximize usage
  • System health: Monitor for rate limiting issues in production systems
  • Development planning: Design applications with rate limit considerations
  • Cost optimization: Balance API usage with performance requirements
This endpoint is particularly valuable for algorithmic trading systems, high-frequency applications, and any automated system that makes frequent API calls to the Hyperliquid exchange. It enables proactive rate limit management and helps prevent service disruptions due to API throttling.
