# isVip | Hyperliquid info

> The info endpoint with type: "isVip" returns whether a user currently has VIP status on Hyperliquid.

<Info>
  You can only use this endpoint on the official Hyperliquid public API. It is not available through Chainstack, as the open-source node implementation does not support it yet. See [Hyperliquid methods](/docs/hyperliquid-methods) for the full availability breakdown.
</Info>

The `info` endpoint with `type: "isVip"` returns whether a user currently has VIP status on Hyperliquid. VIP status affects fee tiers and access to certain features.

## Parameters

### Request body

* `type` (string, required) — The request type. Must be `"isVip"`.
* `user` (string, required) — Address in 42-character hexadecimal format.

## Response

Returns a boolean indicating whether the user currently has VIP status (`true`), or `false` otherwise. May be `null` if the status is unknown.

## Example request

<CodeGroup>
  ```shell Shell theme={null}

    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"type": "isVip", "user": "0x1442ad477ded1b0028b57621aa7b6f7eadb8f568"}' \

  from hyperliquid.info import Info

  info = Info(constants.MAINNET_API_URL, skip_ws=True)

      "user": "0x1442ad477ded1b0028b57621aa7b6f7eadb8f568",
  })
  print(is_vip)
  ```
