# perpConciseAnnotations

Returns concise annotations for every annotated perpetual asset as a list of `[coin, annotation]` pairs. Each annotation carries the category plus optional display name and keywords — the description is omitted (use [perpAnnotation](/readme/rest-api/metadata/perpannotation.md) for the full description of a single asset).
