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.
