Get Instruments Info

Query for the instrument specification of online trading pairs.

Covers: Spot / USDT contract / USDC contract / Inverse contract / Option

info

• Spot does not support pagination, so limit, cursor are invalid.
• When querying by baseCoin, regardless of if category=linear or inverse, the result will contain USDT contract, USDC contract and Inverse contract symbols.

caution

• This endpoint returns 500 entries by default. There are now more than 500 linear symbols on the platform. As a result, you will need to use cursor for pagination or limit to get all entries.
• During periods of extreme market volatility, this interface may experience increased latency or temporary delays in data delivery
