# meta | Hyperliquid Info API

> Hyperliquid meta: fetch the perpetuals universe metadata without live market context.

The Hyperliquid info endpoint with `type: "meta"` is used to fetch the perpetuals universe metadata without live market context.

> [!TIP]
>
> Estimate your monthly cost for this API using the [Pricing Calculator](https://goldrush.dev/docs/pricing-calculator.md?endpoint=%2Fapi-reference%2Fhyperliquid-info%2Fmeta).

> [!NOTE]
>
> * Wire-equal to `POST api.hyperliquid.xyz/info` with `{"type": "meta"}`.
> * Use [metaAndAssetCtxs](https://goldrush.dev/docs/api-reference/hyperliquid-info/meta-and-asset-ctxs.md) when you also need live per-asset mark price, funding, open interest, and day volume.
> * The optional `dex` field takes a perp DEX name. It defaults to the empty string which represents the first perp DEX.
> * For the spot equivalent, use [spotMeta](https://goldrush.dev/docs/api-reference/hyperliquid-info/spot-meta.md).

Returns the static metadata for the entire Hyperliquid perpetuals universe: every coin’s symbol, size-decimal precision, maximum leverage, and the margin-tier table it references. Unlike `metaAndAssetCtxs`, this payload carries no live market data, so it is cheap to cache and changes only when listings or margin parameters change.

## Endpoint

```
POST https://hypercore.goldrushdata.com/info
Authorization: Bearer <GOLDRUSH_API_KEY>
Content-Type: application/json
```

## Request

**type** `string` *required* (default: meta)

Always `"meta"`.

**dex** `string`

HIP-3 builder DEX identifier. Empty string (default) returns the canonical Hyperliquid perp universe. Pass a builder code (e.g. `"xyz"`) to query a HIP-3 deployer's universe.

### Example

```bash cURL theme={null}
curl -X POST https://hypercore.goldrushdata.com/info \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOLDRUSH_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "type": "meta",
    "dex": ""
  }'
```

```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
const response = await fetch("https://hypercore.goldrushdata.com/info", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.GOLDRUSH_API_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    type: "meta",
    dex: "",
  }),
});

const meta = await response.json();
```

```python Python theme={null}
import os, requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://hypercore.goldrushdata.com/info",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['GOLDRUSH_API_KEY']}"},
    json={"type": "meta", "dex": ""},
)

meta = response.json()
```

## Response

A single JSON object describing the perp universe, the margin-tier tables it references, and the collateral token.

```json theme={null}
{
  "universe": [
    { "name": "BTC", "szDecimals": 5, "maxLeverage": 40, "marginTableId": 56 },
    { "name": "ETH", "szDecimals": 4, "maxLeverage": 25, "marginTableId": 55 },
    { "name": "MATIC", "szDecimals": 1, "maxLeverage": 20, "marginTableId": 20, "isDelisted": true }
  ],
  "marginTables": [
    [
      50,
      {
        "description": "",
        "marginTiers": [
          { "lowerBound": "0.0", "maxLeverage": 50 }
        ]
      }
    ]
  ],
  "collateralToken": 0
}
```

### Field descriptions

**universe** `array\<object\>`

Array of perp asset metadata.

**properties**

**name** `string`

Asset symbol - e.g. `"BTC"`, `"ETH"`. For HIP-3 markets, includes the deployer prefix.

**szDecimals** `int`

Number of decimals for size precision.

**maxLeverage** `int`

Maximum leverage for this asset.

**marginTableId** `int`

Identifier of the margin-tier table in `marginTables` that governs this asset.

**onlyIsolated** `boolean`

If true, the asset only supports isolated margin. Omitted when false.

**isDelisted** `boolean`

If true, the asset has been delisted and is no longer tradeable. Omitted when false.

**marginTables** `array\<array\>`

Margin-tier tables, each a `[id, table]` tuple. `id` matches a `universe[].marginTableId`; `table` holds a `description` and a `marginTiers` array of `{lowerBound, maxLeverage}` steps describing how max leverage decreases as position notional grows.

**collateralToken** `int`

Token index of the collateral asset backing the perp universe (USDC is `0`).
