Hyperliquid API Rate Limits: Bot Architecture That Avoids Throttling

How to budget Hyperliquid HTTP weights, WebSocket connections and user actions across market data, execution and reconciliation workers.

Stream instead of polling

Use WebSocket subscriptions for books, trades, orders and fills. Reserve HTTP requests for authoritative snapshots, metadata, reconciliation and actions that do not have an equivalent stream.

Create a central request budget

Multiple workers sharing one IP or account must coordinate weights. A token bucket at the gateway prevents dashboards, backfills and strategy loops from independently exhausting the same limit.

Prioritize safety traffic

Order cancellation, position reconciliation and risk-state reads should outrank analytics. Defer nonessential history and reporting when the remaining budget falls below a safety reserve.

Handle limits as state

Record throttling, queue age and action consumption. Back off with jitter, expose degraded mode to the risk engine and avoid reconnect storms across the maximum WebSocket connection allowance.
