# Crypto Leverage & Funding Rate

> Crypto Leverage & Funding Rate is a paid API for AI agents from www.x402financialdata.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

## 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 crypto-leverage-funding-rate-6dee77e5
```

Example prompt: What's the current squeeze risk on BTC perpetual futures right now — pull the funding rate, open interest, and long/short ratio with their recent trends.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, pre-packaged derivatives sentiment signal for a crypto perpetual — specifically the combination of funding rate, open interest, and long/short ratio with trend context in a single call. Prefer it over building your own OKX API integration when you want squeeze-risk assessment without stitching together multiple raw data feeds. It is the derivatives-market analogue of stock short interest data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported symbol returns an error — only OKX-listed perpetuals (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.) are valid
- Network or upstream OKX data outage may return a 5xx error
- Malformed symbol path param (e.g. missing or empty) returns a 400-style validation error
- Payment not fulfilled returns 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

Crypto perpetual-futures leverage/squeeze-risk signal in one call: funding rate, open interest, and long/short account ratio, each with recent history and a rising/falling/flat trend -- how crowded and leveraged one side of the market has gotten, the derivatives analogue of stock short interest. Works for any OKX-listed perpetual (BTC, ETH, SOL, and more). From OKX. $0.01/call.

## Output

Returns funding rate (current value plus recent history and rising/falling/flat trend), open interest (current level plus history and trend), and long/short account ratio (current reading plus history and trend) for the requested OKX-listed perpetual contract, giving a composite picture of how crowded and leveraged one side of the market is.
