Dapr has a metadata API that returns information about the sidecar allowing runtime discoverability. The metadata endpoint returns the following information.
- Runtime version
- List of the loaded resources (`components`, `subscriptions` and `HttpEndpoints`)
- Registered actor types
- Features enabled
- Application connection details
- Custom, ephemeral attributes with information.
## Metadata API
### Components
Each loaded component provides its name, type and version and also information about supported features in the form of component capabilities.
These features are available for the [state store]({{< ref supported-state-stores.md >}}) and [binding]({{< ref supported-bindings.md >}}) component types. The table below shows the component type and the list of capabilities for a given version. This list might grow in future and only represents the capabilities of the loaded components.
Component type | Capabilities
---------------| ------------
State Store | ETAG, TRANSACTION, ACTOR, QUERY_API
Binding | INPUT_BINDING, OUTPUT_BINDING
### HTTPEndpoints
Each loaded `HttpEndpoint` provides a name to easily identify the Dapr resource associated with the runtime.
### Subscriptions
The metadata API returns a list of pub/sub subscriptions that the app has registered with the Dapr runtime. This includes the pub/sub name, topic, routes, dead letter topic, the subscription type, and the metadata associated with the subscription.
### Enabled features
A list of features enabled via Configuration spec (including build-time overrides).
### App connection details
The metadata API returns information related to Dapr's connection to the app. This includes the app port, protocol, host, max concurrency, along with health check details.
### Scheduler connection details
Information related to the connection to one or more scheduler hosts.
### Attributes
The metadata API allows you to store additional attribute information in the format of key-value pairs. These are ephemeral in-memory and are not persisted if a sidecar is reloaded. This information should be added at the time of a sidecar creation (for example, after the application has started).
## Get the Dapr sidecar information
Gets the Dapr sidecar information provided by the Metadata Endpoint.
### Usecase:
The Get Metadata API can be used for discovering different capabilities supported by loaded components. It can help operators in determining which components to provision, for required capabilities.

```
GET http://localhost:<daprPort>/v1.0/metadata
```

daprPort | The Dapr port.

## Add a custom label to the Dapr sidecar information
Adds a custom label to the Dapr sidecar information stored by the Metadata endpoint.
### Usecase:
The metadata endpoint is, for example, used by the Dapr CLI when running dapr in self hosted mode to store the PID of the process hosting the sidecar and store the command used to run the application. Applications can also add attributes as keys after startup.
### HTTP Request
```
PUT http://localhost:<daprPort>/v1.0/metadata/attributeName
```
### URL Parameters
Parameter | Description
--------- | -----------
daprPort | The Dapr port.
attributeName | Custom attribute name. This is they key name in the key-value pair.
### HTTP Request Body
In the request you need to pass the custom attribute value as RAW data:
```json
{
"Content-Type": "text/plain"
}
```
Within the body of the request place the custom attribute value you want to store:
```
attributeValue
```
### HTTP Response Codes
Code | Description
---- | -----------
204 | Custom attribute added to the metadata information
### Examples
Add a custom attribute to the metadata endpoint:
```shell
curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: text/plain" --data "myDemoAttributeValue" http://localhost:3500/v1.0/metadata/myDemoAttribute
```
Get the metadata information to confirm your custom attribute was added:
