# Coinglass Open Interest & Positioning Signal

> Coinglass Open Interest & Positioning Signal is a paid API for AI agents from kr-x402-mvp.kgy5612.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-11-02).

Returns aggregated open interest, liquidations, taker flow, long/short ratio, and a crowding verdict for a given perpetual futures coin via Coinglass data.

## 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 coinglass-open-interest-positioning-signal-24505957
```

Example prompt: Pull the open interest and liquidation crowding signal for BTC perps — I want to know if longs are getting wrecked and whether positioning is extreme enough to fade.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI trading agent needs a synthesized, opinionated positioning signal combining open interest, liquidations, taker flow, and long/short ratio in a single call — rather than assembling these from multiple raw exchange APIs. Ideal for pre-trade risk checks, crowding detection, and funding-rate arbitrage scanning. Prefer over generic market data APIs when you want a pre-computed verdict and actionable summary without API keys.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported coin symbol returns error or empty data
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance or x402 protocol error) blocks the call
- Upstream Coinglass data outage may result in stale or missing fields
- Rate limiting or worker capacity issues on the Cloudflare Workers host
- Malformed query parameter (symbol too long) may be rejected by schema validation

## How this service works

Pay-per-call crypto microdata for trading/onchain AI agents via x402 (USDC on Base): Base gas, token risk, balances, multi-venue prices, Hyperliquid book/funding, kimchi premium. No API keys.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: open interest in USD for OKX and Hyperliquid with 1h/4h/24h percentage changes; liquidation counts and USD values for longs and shorts across 1h/4h/24h windows; taker buy/sell flow ratios; long/short ratio with 48h percentile context; funding rates (OKX 8h % and APR, Hyperliquid APR); a numeric crowding score; a BALANCED/CROWDED verdict string; human-readable reasons array; an actionable signal sentence; and suggested next endpoints to call.
