Example Usage

Rust SDK

use superstack_rust_sdk::{BulkOrder, Limit, Order, OrderRequest, SuperstackApiClient};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let api_key = std::env::var("API_KEY").unwrap();
    let client = SuperstackApiClient::new(&api_key);

    let order = BulkOrder {
        orders: vec![OrderRequest {
            asset: 0, // BTC
            is_buy: true,
            reduce_only: false,
            limit_px: "110000.0".to_string(),
            sz: "0.0001".to_string(),
            cloid: None,
            order_type: Order::Limit(Limit {
                tif: "Gtc".to_string(),
            }),
        }],
        grouping: "na".to_string(),
    };
    let response = client.order(order).await.unwrap();
    println!("Order response: {:?}", response);
}

REST API

First, send the order to the API exchange endpoint to get the response:

curl -X POST <https://wallet-service.superstack.xyz/api/exchange> \\
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>" \\
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \\
  -d '{
    "action": {
      "type": "order",
      "orders": [{
        "a": 0,
        "b": true,
        "p": "110000",
        "s": "0.0001",
        "r": false,
        "t": {"limit": {"tif": "Gtc"}}
      }],
      "grouping": "na"
    }
  }'

Users will get a response like this:

{
    "payload": {
        "action": {
            "grouping": "na",
            "orders": [{
                "a":0,
                "b":true,
                "p":"110000",
                "r":false,
                "s":"0.0001",
                "t":{"limit":{"tif":"Gtc"}},
                "type":"order"
            }],
            "signature": {
                "r":"0x7f4711b90512984fd5a7f5bc821f6d22ede53c59ba7a1a63a9f9b1984dc7c458",
                "s":"0x790f5f3ef1067bb0dc261170c31ec1a2325d3e2bf24353af7ff441f0a6e64111",
                "v":27
            },
            "nonce": 1758104547424
        }
    }
}

Then, extract the payload field from the response and send it to the Hyperliquid exchange endpoint to execute it:

curl -X POST <https://api.hyperliquid.xyz/exchange> \\
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \\
  -d your_payload
