# Instruments

> Every listed perps instrument with full contract config (leverage, risk tiers, precision, funding interval), plus `first_seen`. Filter with `?category=` (crypto, index, commodity, equity).

Returns the complete exchange configuration for each instrument — symbol, category, leverage and risk tiers, precision, order size limits, funding interval — plus `first_seen`, the timestamp we first observed the listing.

## Query parameters

| Parameter  | Description                                                      |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `category` | Filter to one category: `crypto`, `index`, `commodity`, `equity` |

New instruments appear automatically as Polymarket lists them — poll this endpoint (or watch `perps_tickers` on the WebSocket for unfamiliar ids) to pick up new listings.
