GET /api/buyers.json	Recent buyers only ($5k+, HYPE/SOL/XRP/ETH)
GET /api/depositors.json	All Hyperliquid depositors - canonical address list
GET /api/whale_addresses.txt	Plain text list of whale addresses

Crypto / HIP3 Position Separation

Position data is now available in separate crypto and HIP3 feeds in addition to the existing combined files. Classification rule: any coin with a : in its name (e.g. xyz:GOLD, cash:USA500) is HIP3. All others (e.g. BTC, ETH) are crypto.

File	Positions	Symbols
positions.json (combined)	~4,477	182
positions_crypto.json	~3,516	134
positions_hip3.json	~961	48

Update frequency: Top-50 files (positions*.json) update every ~1s via priority scan. Per-symbol files (all*.json) update every ~90s on full scan. Original endpoints are unchanged — fully backward compatible.

Response Example (positions_crypto.json)

{
  "updated_at": "2026-03-03T14:52:38.731Z",
  "total_positions": 3516,
  "total_longs": 50,
  "total_shorts": 50,
  "min_position_value": 10000,
  "price_source": "websocket",
  "longs": [
    {
      "address": "0x...",
      "coin": "BTC",
      "value": 1250000.50,
      "entry_price": 85000.0,
      "current_price": 86500.0,

      "size": 14.705882,
      "pnl": 22058.82
    }
  ],
  "shorts": [ ... ]
}

longs and shorts are sorted by distance_pct ascending (closest to liquidation first). Each array contains up to 50 positions.

Response Example (all_crypto.json)

{
  "updated_at": "2026-03-03T14:51:42.000Z",
  "min_position_value": 10000,
  "total_symbols": 134,

      "longs": [ ... ],
      "shorts": [ ... ]
    },
    "ETH": { ... }
  }
}

Symbols are sorted by total_positions descending. Each symbol contains up to 50 longs + 50 shorts.

Whale Watcher Expansion: 75 Symbols

Whale discovery now watches 75 symbols across native perps and HIP-3 dexes (previously 3). Whale threshold: $25,000+ per trade.

Category	Count	Examples
Always-watch (native perps)	7	BTC, ETH, SOL, HYPE, XRP, ZEC, FARTCOIN
Top volume (native perps)	23	PAXG, PUMP, SUI, DOGE, ASTER, LINK, XMR, MON, BNB, kPEPE, UNI, ENA, ...
HIP-3 Commodities	14	xyz:SILVER, xyz:GOLD, xyz:COPPER, xyz:CL, xyz:NATGAS, flx:OIL, ...
HIP-3 Indices	8	xyz:XYZ100, cash:USA500, km:USTECH, vntl:MAG7, vntl:SEMIS, vntl:ROBOT
HIP-3 Stocks	18	xyz:TSLA, xyz:NVDA, xyz:GOOGL, xyz:PLTR, xyz:META, xyz:AAPL, cash:NVDA, ...
HIP-3 FX	2	xyz:EUR, xyz:JPY
HIP-3 Pre-IPO	3	vntl:SPACEX, vntl:OPENAI, vntl:ANTHROPIC

HIP-3 perps live on separate dexes within Hyperliquid. Symbol format: dex:NAME (e.g., xyz:SILVER, cash:USA500). Whale addresses discovered from HIP-3 trades are added to the same whale address pool.

Position Scanner: 200 Threads

All 22,500+ discovered whale wallets are scanned continuously. Position tracking is wallet-based — calling clearinghouseState for a wallet returns all positions across both native perps and HIP-3 markets automatically. No per-symbol config needed.

200 scan threads (full wallet scans)
30 priority threads (fast updates for top positions)
Adding more watched symbols increases the whale address pool over time, not the per-wallet scan cost

Response Example (depositors.json)

{
  "updated_at": "2026-01-14T12:00:00Z",
  "stats": {
    "total_count": 125000,
    "total_deposited": 2500000000
  },
  "depositors": [
    {
      "address": "0x1234567890abcdef...",
      "amount": 50000,
      "timestamp": "2026-01-14T11:30:00Z"
    }
  ]
}

The depositors endpoint contains every wallet that has ever bridged USDC to Hyperliquid - the canonical address list.

HIP3 Tick Data (Top 10 by Volume)

Tick-level data and server-computed OHLCV candles for the top 10 HIP3 symbols by 24h volume across all HIP3 dexes (xyz, cash, flx). Only these 10 symbols are tracked — the list refreshes every 5 minutes based on live volume ranking. Candles are computed server-side from stored ticks, not proxied from Hyperliquid. Data retention is 30 days.

⚠️ Only the top 10 HIP3 symbols by 24h volume are tracked. This is not all HIP3 symbols — use the /api/hip3/candles/symbols endpoint to see which symbols are currently being collected. The 10th slot rotates as volume shifts.

Symbols Currently Tracked

These are the highest-volume HIP3 symbols. The list auto-updates every 5 minutes.

#	Symbol	Dex	Category
1	xyz:CL	xyz	Commodities
2	xyz:XYZ100	xyz	Indices
3	xyz:SILVER	xyz	Commodities
4	xyz:BRENTOIL	xyz	Commodities
5	cash:USA500	cash	Indices
6	xyz:GOLD	xyz	Commodities
7	xyz:NATGAS	xyz	Commodities
8	xyz:NVDA	xyz	Stocks
9	xyz:CRCL	xyz	Stocks
10	(rotates by volume)

Top 10 only — only the 10 highest-volume HIP3 symbols are tracked; the list refreshes every 5 min based on 24h notional volume
30-day retention — historical data goes back up to 30 days
Multi-dex — symbols span xyz, cash, and flx dexes
Bare ticker lookups — pass just CL or USA500 and it resolves to the correct dex
Server-computed candles — built from stored tick data, not proxied from Hyperliquid
Tick resolution — ~500ms polling interval

Backtesting Use Cases

Since this is historical snapshot data, you can use it for:

Liquidation Cascade Detection — Query positions that were <2% from liquidation, cross-reference with price data to see if they got liquidated, build models predicting cascade events
Squeeze Setup Identification — Track when shorts cluster near liquidation prices, identify price levels where forced buying would occur, backtest "buy when shorts are trapped" strategies
Whale Liquidation Hunting — Monitor large positions approaching liquidation, identify recurring whale addresses and their patterns, backtest strategies targeting known liquidation levels
Risk Concentration Analysis — Analyze where leverage clusters by price level, identify "liquidation magnets" (price zones with heavy exposure), backtest contrarian strategies around these zones

Example Backtest Query

# Get all positions that were within 3% of liquidation yesterday
risky_positions = requests.get(
    f"{BASE_URL}/api/position_snapshots/symbol/BTC",
    headers=headers,
    params={"hours": 24, "max_distance_pct": 3, "limit": 5000}
).json()

# Group by snapshot_time to see how risk evolved
# Cross-reference with price data to see which got liquidated
for snap in risky_positions['snapshots']:
    print(f"{snap['snapshot_time']}: {snap['user']} - {snap['distance_pct']}% from liq")

# Compare any two coins for pairs trading
ada = r["by_coin"]["ADA"]["imbalance_ratio"]
eigen = r["by_coin"]["EIGEN"]["imbalance_ratio"]
spread = ada - eigen  # Your entry signal!

print(f"ADA imbalance: {ada:.4f}")
print(f"EIGEN imbalance: {eigen:.4f}")
print(f"Spread: {spread:.4f}")

HLP Sentiment & Analytics

Advanced analytics endpoints for HLP sentiment analysis, liquidator monitoring, market maker tracking, and timing analysis. These endpoints provide institutional-grade signals based on HLP positioning data.

Available Endpoints

Endpoint	Description
GET /api/hlp/sentiment	Net delta with z-scores and trading signals - THE sentiment indicator
GET /api/hlp/liquidators/status	Real-time liquidator status (active/idle) with PnL
GET /api/hlp/market-maker	Strategy B tracker for BTC/ETH/SOL positions
GET /api/hlp/timing	Hourly and session profitability analysis
GET /api/hlp/correlation	Delta-price correlation analysis by coin

Sentiment Analysis (The Big One)

The /api/hlp/sentiment endpoint analyzes HLP net delta positions and generates z-score based trading signals. This is the primary sentiment indicator for understanding institutional positioning.

    "BTC": { "value": -2450000, "z_score": 2.2, "signal": "Retail heavily SHORT - potential short squeeze" },
    "ETH": { "value": 1200000, "z_score": -0.8, "signal": "Neutral positioning" },
    "SOL": { "value": -580000, "z_score": 1.5, "signal": "Moderate retail SHORT bias" }
  },
  "overall_signal": "Market sentiment: Retail skewed SHORT on majors",
  "confidence": "high"
}

Liquidator Status

curl "https://api.moondev.com/api/hlp/correlation?api_key=YOUR_KEY"

Python Example

import requests

API_KEY = "your_api_key"
BASE_URL = "https://api.moondev.com"

# Get HLP sentiment signals
sentiment = requests.get(
    f"{BASE_URL}/api/hlp/sentiment",
    params={"api_key": API_KEY}
).json()

print(f"Overall: {sentiment['overall_signal']}")
print(f"Confidence: {sentiment['confidence']}")

for coin, data in sentiment["net_delta"].items():
    print(f"  {coin}: z={data['z_score']:.1f} - {data['signal']}")

# Check liquidator activity
liquidators = requests.get(
    f"{BASE_URL}/api/hlp/liquidators/status",
    params={"api_key": API_KEY}
).json()

for liq in liquidators.get("liquidators", []):
    status = "ACTIVE" if liq["active"] else "IDLE"
    print(f"  {liq['address'][:10]}...: {status} (PnL: ${liq['pnl']:,.0f})")
