Query Parameters
Trading symbol: BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT, SOLUSDT, or HYPEUSDT.
BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT, SOLUSDT, HYPEUSDT ISO-8601 instant to answer as of, e.g. 2026-08-20T14:30:00Z. Omit for the current value. Resolves to the nearest chain snapshot AT OR BEFORE the requested time (never after, which would be look-ahead bias); the snapshot actually used and the lag are reported in meta.extra.as_of. Under positioning=flow the dealer flow map is rebuilt from the tape as it stood at that instant, so a given timestamp always returns the same numbers. Bounded by your plan's history window.

The meta block returned alongside every v2 response.
Every field after version/timestamp is optional because endpoints
attach different combinations - e.g. /v2/status skips symbol, the
chain endpoint sets extra.filter_hash, etc. Listing them here means
SDKs get a typed accessor for each instead of a generic meta: dict.
