# Properties Query: Add Metadata

# Description

The addMeta parameter instructs the server to include entity metadata, namely fields and tags, in the response object.

This provides a convenient method for retrieving both property records and descriptive information about the entities, without executing a separate request to Meta API.

The list of returned fields corresponds to the entity get methods

Meta API user role is not required to access this metadata.
