Environment Variables

Public Usage

No environment variables are required for public reads or public streams.

Authenticated Mainnet Usage

Use HYPERLIQUID_PRIVATE_KEY when you construct an authenticated mainnet client without passing a wallet explicitly:

HYPERLIQUID_PRIVATE_KEY=

Hyperliquid.http() and Hyperliquid.ws() read HYPERLIQUID_PRIVATE_KEY by default.

Authenticated Testnet Usage

Use HYPERLIQUID_TESTNET_PRIVATE_KEY when you construct an authenticated testnet client without passing a wallet explicitly:

HYPERLIQUID_TESTNET_PRIVATE_KEY=

Hyperliquid.http(mainnet=False) and Hyperliquid.ws(mainnet=False) read HYPERLIQUID_TESTNET_PRIVATE_KEY.

Networks

Network selection is configured through constructor arguments:

from hyperliquid import Hyperliquid

client = Hyperliquid.http(mainnet=False)

There is no API key, API secret, or passphrase flow in the current implementation.
