Hypixel

Overview

The Hypixel API exposes data for the Hypixel Minecraft server — players, guilds, skyblock profiles, and leaderboards. Auth is a free API key sent as the API-Key header (a missing key returns 400 “Missing API-Key header” — verified).

Quick Start

Player info (replace YOUR_KEY):

curl "https://api.hypixel.net/v2/player?name=Hypixel" \
  -H "API-Key: YOUR_KEY"

{
  "success": true,
  "player": {
    "uuid": "f9c9c1e3-...",
    "displayname": "Hypixel",
    "networkExp": 1200000,
    "stats": { "SkyWars": {} }
  }
}

Guild by name:

curl "https://api.hypixel.net/v2/guild?name=Hypixel" \
  -H "API-Key: YOUR_KEY"

Authentication

• Register at developer.hypixel.net → create an application → API key.
• Send it as the API-Key header (missing → 400 “Missing API-Key header”, verified).

Rate Limits & Notes

• Free key: ~60 requests/minute (check current docs); no paid tier needed for most use.
• Endpoints: /v2/player, /v2/guild, /v2/skyblock/profiles, /v2/leaderboards, /v2/status.
• The API covers the Java server (Hypixel Network) — not other Minecraft servers.
• UUIDs are the stable player identifier.
