Hyperliquid Liquidations API — Free Liquidation Data

Free Hyperliquid liquidation data over a REST API: market-wide liquidation events — not one wallet at a time — by coin, wallet, direction and size, newest first and paged up to 5,000 rows a call; where open positions would liquidate if price moved; and which coins have the most open interest close to liquidation. Events are inferred from 5-minute position snapshots — a position that disappears while its mark was within 5% of its liquidation price.

Coverage: Market-wide events inferred from 5-minute position snapshots · filter by coin, wallet, direction (long or short), start, end · liquidation-price heatmap per coin · at-risk open interest by cohort. Free — API key — delivered via API.

Example applications

• Liquidation cascades after a move

  If you are studying whether a sharp move was forced selling, pull every liquidation on that coin between start and end and size it against the move — by side, and by the account-size rung of the wallets that were closed.

• Where the next cascade would start

  If the question is where leveraged size would be forced out, the per-coin liquidation-price heatmap shows the price levels where open notional clusters, and /liquidations/risk ranks coins by how much of their open interest is already close.
