## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability apex-runner-hyperliquid-funding-rate-signal-7b206bc2
```

Example prompt: What's the current Hyperliquid funding rate for BTC — is it bullish or bearish, and does it confirm going long right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, interpreted funding rate signal for a specific Hyperliquid perpetual pair with built-in sentiment labeling and long/short confirmation flags, rather than raw exchange API data. Ideal for AI trading agents that need a pre-analyzed, human-readable signal rather than raw rate numbers. Prefer over manual Hyperliquid API calls when you want sentiment labels and annualized rate calculations already done.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported trading pair returns an error or empty result
- Hyperliquid data unavailable triggers CoinGlass fallback which may have higher latency
- Stale cache if Hyperliquid feed is down — cached_at timestamp will reveal staleness
- Payment of 0.15 USDC not submitted results in HTTP 402 Payment Required
- Network timeout if both primary and fallback sources are unreachable
