# Get Perpetual Trading Leaderboard Data

`POST /api/v1/perp-leaderboard`

Get perpetual trading leaderboard data showing the most profitable traders within a given date range. This endpoint provides trader performance metrics including total PnL, ROI, and account values.

**What it helps to answer:**

1. **Who are the most profitable perpetual traders in a given timeframe?**
2. **What are the ROI percentages for top performing traders?**
3. **What are the account values of successful perpetual traders?**
4. **How do trader addresses and labels correlate with performance?**

**Key Features:**
- Trader address and label information
- Total PnL tracking in USD
- ROI calculations as percentages
- Account value tracking
- Flexible filtering and sorting options

**Label Tier Control (`premium_labels`):**
When omitted or set to `false` (the default), the response contains free-tier labels and the request is billed at the standard credit cost for this endpoint. Passing `premium_labels=true` returns premium labels (Smart Money, Fund, and other advanced labels), is billed at **150 credits per call**, and requires a paid plan.
