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 query by baseCoin, regardless of category=linear or inverse, the result will have USDT contract, USDC contract and Inverse contract symbols.

caution

The endpoint returns 500 entries by default, which doesn't represent all linear symbols on the platform since recently. Use cursor for pagination or limit to get all entries.
