Processing
Realtime
type: "meta" is used to fetch the perpetuals universe metadata without live market context.
- Wire-equal to
POST api.hyperliquid.xyz/infowith{"type": "meta"}. - Use metaAndAssetCtxs when you also need live per-asset mark price, funding, open interest, and day volume.
- The optional
dexfield takes a perp DEX name. It defaults to the empty string which represents the first perp DEX. - For the spot equivalent, use spotMeta.
metaAndAssetCtxs, this payload carries no live market data, so it is cheap to cache and changes only when listings or margin parameters change.
