The Hyperliquid info endpoint with `type: "perpsAtOpenInterestCap"` is used to list the perp assets currently at their open-interest cap.

<Tip>
  Estimate your monthly cost for this API using the [Pricing Calculator](/docs/pricing-calculator?endpoint=%2Fapi-reference%2Fhyperliquid-info%2Fperps-at-open-interest-cap).
</Tip>

<Info>
  * Wire-equal to `POST api.hyperliquid.xyz/info` with `{"type": "perpsAtOpenInterestCap"}`.
  * While an asset is in this list it has reached its open-interest cap; orders that would increase aggregate open interest are rejected (see the `openInterestCap*` order-rejection reasons) until open interest falls back below the cap.
  * This is a global, non-user-keyed type refreshed continuously from upstream Hyperliquid.
</Info>

Returns the list of perpetual assets that are currently at their open-interest cap, as an array of coin symbol strings. Use it to detect which markets are constrained before placing orders that would add open interest.
