Hyperliquid Data Layer API is a data access layer that provides developers with programmatic access to transparent market data from the Hyperliquid decentralized exchange.
The tool addresses the problem that while Hyperliquid exposes previously hidden market information—such as liquidations, whale positions, and institutional flows—there was no straightforward way for developers to access this data. The data layer acts as an intermediary, making it easier for applications to query and consume Hyperliquid's transparent blockchain data without needing to run their own infrastructure or parse the blockchain directly.
Developers building applications on Hyperliquid should use this tool if they need reliable access to market data without the operational burden of maintaining their own data infrastructure. It suits projects ranging from trading applications to analytics platforms to any consumer-facing app that requires real-time or historical market information from Hyperliquid. The README does not compare this tool to alternatives.
The project is actively maintained with ongoing development focused on expanding data access capabilities and supporting the broader ecosystem of applications being built on Hyperliquid.
