Overview

Hypixel API gives you access to player statistics, game data, and guild information for the Hypixel Minecraft network, one of the largest Minecraft servers in the world. You must request a free API key in-game by running /api newkey on the Hypixel server. It is popular for building stat-tracking tools, leaderboards, and Discord bots.

Beginner Tip

Always pass your API key as a query parameter (?key=YOUR_API_KEY) and be aware of the default rate limit of 120 requests per minute.

Available Data

The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.

Implementation Example

Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.

Request
const url = "https://api.hypixel.net/player?key=YOUR_API_KEY&name=Technoblade";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
  headers: {

  }
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.

403 Invalid API Key The key parameter is missing or the key has been revoked.
Regenerate your key in-game with /api newkey and update it in your code.
429 Throttle Exceeded the 120 requests-per-minute rate limit.
Add a request queue with delay logic to stay within the rate limit.
null player data The requested player has never logged into Hypixel, or the name is misspelled.
Check the player name for typos and handle null responses gracefully in your code.

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
