# Run Hyperliquid SQL from a URL

> GET /v1/query?sql= runs the same read-only Hyperliquid SQL from a URL, for clients that can only fetch URLs. Works without a key.



## OpenAPI

````yaml GET /v1/query
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Ironflow API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    Hyperliquid market data from Ironflow's own nodes: tick-level fills and

    trades, candles, funding rates, liquidations, mark prices, open interest,

    markets and wallet analytics over REST, live Server-Sent Events streams and

    read-only SQL. One schema across native HL perps, HIP-3 builder markets,

    HIP-4 outcome contracts and HL spot.


    The same data is a hosted MCP server for AI agents at

    `https://mcp.ironflow.sh/mcp`, and agents with a USDC wallet on Base can pay

    per call with x402, no key: the data GET endpoints are also served at

    `/x402/v1/...` (discovery: `https://api.ironflow.sh/openapi.json` and

    `https://api.ironflow.sh/.well-known/x402`).


    **Base URL:** `https://api.ironflow.sh`


    **Authentication:** Read endpoints work without a key (keyless access) or

    with a Bearer token in the `Authorization` header. Writes always need a key.

    ```

    Authorization: Bearer if_your_api_key

    ```

    **Access levels:**


    | Access | Requests per minute | History | Max range per request |

    |---|---|---|---|

    | No key | 30 per IP (2,000 a day) | 24 hours | 1 hour |

    | Free key | 60 | 30 days | 6 hours |

    | Explorer | 100 | 90 days | 24 hours |

    | Builder | 1,000 | 1 year | 7 days |

    | Enterprise | 10,000 | full | unlimited |


    Without a market filter, high-volume endpoints allow at most 4 hours per
    request.

    `/v1/trades` filtered to one perp or spot market allows 24 hours per request

    without a key and on a free key.

    A header that is present but malformed returns 401; keyless access applies
    only

    when no `Authorization` header is sent.


    **Data availability:** fills and trades start on 25 May 2025; other

    datasets start later (funding 2025-09-27, open interest and mark prices

    2026-04-29). Bulk history is free to download from

    https://huggingface.co/ironflow.


    **Timestamps:** All timestamps are Unix milliseconds (int64).


    **Pagination:** Paginated endpoints return a `cursor` in
    `pagination.next_cursor`.

    Pass it as the `cursor` query parameter to fetch the next page.

    When `pagination.has_more` is `false`, you have reached the last page.


    **Notices:** a successful JSON object may start with `notice`, the

    `X-Ironflow-Notice` header in the body: what was served when it differs from

    what was asked (a keyless sample, a shortened history, a guessed path) and

    how to get the rest.


    **Guessed paths:** a few paths callers guess are answered by the endpoint

    they mean, with a `notice` and the `X-Ironflow-Canonical` header naming it:

    `/v1/liquidations/aggregate`, `/v1/summary/liquidations` and similar by

    `/v1/liquidations/summary`, `/v1/liquidations/buckets` and `heatmap` by

    `/v1/analytics/liquidation-levels`, and `/v1/liquidations/map/BTC-PERP` by

    `/v1/liquidations/map?market=BTC-PERP`. A path with trailing `.`, `,`, `;`
    or

    `)` (`/v1/query.`, copied from a sentence) is answered by the endpoint
    without

    them, with the same method, query and body. OpenAI-style paths
    (`/v1/models`,

    `/v1/chat/completions`) answer 404: this is not an LLM API, and agents use
    the

    MCP server above.
