## Overview

Hyperliquid's Info endpoints provide a comprehensive way to query detailed information about the exchange, user accounts, and market data. These endpoints are designed to fetch real-time data through specific request types, each returning structured data relevant to different aspects of the Hyperliquid ecosystem.

## What are Info Endpoints?

Info endpoints are specialized API calls that allow you to retrieve various types of data from the Hyperliquid exchange, including:

  

-   **Exchange Metadata**: Trading pairs, leverage limits, and margin configurations
-   **User Account Data**: Open orders, portfolio balances, and trading history
-   **Market Information**: Order book data, recent trades, and price feeds
-   **System Status**: Exchange health, maintenance windows, and operational data

## Key Features

  

-   **Real-time Data**: Get up-to-date information about markets, orders, and account states
-   **User-specific Queries**: Fetch account-specific data by providing user addresses
-   **Market Data Access**: Retrieve order book snapshots, trade history, and price information
-   **System Information**: Query exchange status, configuration, and operational parameters

## Endpoint Configuration

When you create a Hyperliquid endpoint in the Quicknode dashboard, it comes with `/evm` at the end by default:

```text
https://your-endpoint.quiknode.pro/evm
```

**For Info endpoints, you need to replace `/evm` with `/info`:**

```text
https://your-endpoint.quiknode.pro/info
```

### Example Usage

Here's how to query exchange metadata using the `meta` info endpoint:

```bash
curl https://your-endpoint.quiknode.pro/info \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{"type":"meta"}'
```

This will return comprehensive metadata about the Hyperliquid exchange, including available trading pairs and their configurations.

## How Info Endpoints Work

Info endpoints follow a simple and consistent request-response pattern that makes them easy to use:

### Request Structure

All info endpoints use the same base URL and accept POST requests with a JSON body containing:

  

-   **`type` (required)**: Specifies exactly what data you want to retrieve (e.g., `"meta"`, `"openOrders"`, `"userFees"`)
-   **Additional parameters**: Many endpoints accept optional parameters for:
    -   **User targeting**: Provide a user address to get account-specific data
    -   **Filtering**: Narrow down results by time, asset, or other criteria
    -   **Configuration**: Specify options like market type (perp vs spot)

### Example

```bash
# Request: Get exchange metadata

curl https://docs-demo.hype-mainnet.quiknode.pro/info \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{"type":"meta"}'


# Response: Structured data about trading pairs and configurations
{
  "universe": [...],
  "marginTables": [...]
}
```
