The Hyperliquid info endpoint with `type: "spotMeta"` is used to fetch the spot universe metadata and full token configuration without live market context.

<Tip>
  Estimate your monthly cost for this API using the [Pricing Calculator](/pricing-calculator?endpoint=%2Fapi-reference%2Fhyperliquid-info%2Fspot-meta).
</Tip>

<Info>
  * Wire-equal to `POST api.hyperliquid.xyz/info` with `{"type": "spotMeta"}`.
  * Use <a href="https://goldrush.dev/docs/api-reference/hyperliquid-info/spot-meta-and-asset-ctxs" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">spotMetaAndAssetCtxs</a> when you also need live per-pair mark price, mid, and day volume.
  * For the perpetuals equivalent, use <a href="https://goldrush.dev/docs/api-reference/hyperliquid-info/meta" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">meta</a>.
</Info>

Returns the static metadata for the entire Hyperliquid spot market: the list of trading pairs (`universe`) and the full token registry (`tokens`) with each token’s decimals, on-chain identifier, and linked HyperEVM contract. Carries no live market data, so it is cheap to cache and changes only when new tokens or pairs are listed.

## Endpoint

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

## Request

<ParamField body="type" type="string" required default="spotMeta">
  Always `"spotMeta"`.
</ParamField>

### Example

<CodeGroup>
  ```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": "spotMeta"
    }'
  ```

  ```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: "spotMeta",
    }),
  });

  const spotMeta = 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": "spotMeta"},
  )

  spot_meta = response.json()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Response

A single JSON object with two arrays: `tokens` (the token registry) and `universe` (the tradeable pairs that reference those tokens by index).

```json theme={null}

      "evmContract": null,
      "fullName": null,
      "deployerTradingFeeShare": "0.0"
    }
  ],
  "universe": [
    { "tokens": [1, 0], "name": "PURR/USDC", "index": 0, "isCanonical": true }
  ]
}
```

### `tokens[]`

<ResponseField name="name" type="string">Token symbol - e.g. `"USDC"`, `"PURR"`.</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="szDecimals" type="int">Number of decimals used for order size precision.</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="weiDecimals" type="int">Number of decimals in the token's native wei representation.</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="index" type="int">Token index. `universe[].tokens` references tokens by this value.</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="tokenId" type="string">Hyperliquid on-chain token identifier.</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="isCanonical" type="boolean">Whether the token is a canonical (core) Hyperliquid token.</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="evmContract" type="object | null">Linked HyperEVM contract, or `null` if the token is not bridged. Carries `address` and `evm_extra_wei_decimals` (the wei-decimal offset between the spot token and its EVM representation).</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="deployerTradingFeeShare" type="string">Share of trading fees routed to the token deployer (decimal string).</ResponseField>

### `universe[]`

<ResponseField name="name" type="string">Pair symbol - e.g. `"PURR/USDC"`. Non-canonical pairs use the `@<index>` form (e.g. `"@1"`).</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="tokens" type="array<int>">Two-element `[base, quote]` array of token indices into `tokens`.</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="index" type="int">Pair index. Used as the spot asset identifier in other endpoints and streams.</ResponseField>
