builderLiquidations

Stream live liquidation fills of your users. Based on last touch attribution, if the last non-liquidation fill for that coin had your builder code, the liquidation will be broadcast to your channel.

Every live data message includes both routing identifiers with the same value:

{"type": "builderLiquidations", "channel": "builderLiquidations"}

Other payload fields are omitted above. Existing clients may continue routing on either field.

Note: TWAP fills do not carry builder codes. If a user's last fill before liquidation was a TWAP fill, no builder liquidation notification will be sent.

💧New endpoint - this endpoint is not part of the original Hyperliquid API. Hydromancer added it for builder convenience.

  "type": "subscribe", 
  "subscription": {

    "aggregateByTime": true
  }
}

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
builder	string	Yes	-	Your builder address
dex	string	No	null	Filter by DEX: "xyz", "main" ( for fills only on first dex)
aggregateByTime	boolean	No	true	Aggregate multi-fill liquidations by (user, time, order_id)

Unsubscribe

note: make sure to use exactly the same message as subscription message.

{

    "builder": "0x..",
    "aggregateByTime": true
  } 
}

Liquidation data format

Reconnection Note: When reconnecting with a session, replay and live events may overlap. Deduplicate using (time, txIndex) - skip liquidation fills where this tuple is at or before your last processed fill. See Session Management for details.

Each message contains an array of liquidation fills. Each fill is a tuple of [user_address, fill_data].

Error messages:

{
    "type": "error",
    "message": "Invalid API key"
}

Common errors

1. Connection timeout - Respond to ping messages

2. Too many subscriptions - Maximum builder subscriptions per API key

3. Invalid builder code

4. Invalid API key
