> Funding Radar (Crowding) is a paid API for AI agents from 402.com.tr, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-19).

Scans the entire perpetual futures market and ranks the most crowded long and short positions by funding rate to surface potential squeeze and mean-reversion setups.

## 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 funding-radar-crowding-5d4c77e1
```

Example prompt: Scan the entire perpetual futures market and show me the top 10 most crowded longs and shorts by funding rate — I want to spot potential squeeze setups, only include coins with at least $50M open interest.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a broad market-wide scan for crowded perpetual positions in a single call, rather than querying individual coin funding rates one by one. It is best suited for setup discovery (not entry timing) — ideal for surfacing squeeze candidates, mean-reversion opportunities, or understanding macro market positioning skew. Prefer this over general price APIs when the specific signal needed is funding rate extremes weighted by open interest.

## Known failure modes

- CoinGecko data temporarily unavailable causing stale or missing funding data
- limit parameter exceeds max of 15, returning an error
- minOi value filters out all coins, returning empty results
- Network timeout if CoinGecko API is slow to respond
- Funding data may lag real-time conditions by several minutes

## How this service works

Scans the whole perpetual market and ranks the most crowded longs and shorts by funding, so an agent finds squeeze / mean-reversion setups in one call. Extreme positive funding = crowded long (long-squeeze risk on a dip); extreme negative = crowded short (short-squeeze fuel on a pump). Returns the market tilt plus the top coins at each edge, OI-weighted over a liquidity floor. CoinGecko, no key. A setup radar, not an entry signal. Not financial advice.

## Output

Returns the overall market tilt (long-heavy or short-heavy), plus a ranked list of the top N coins on each side — most crowded longs (extreme positive funding, long-squeeze risk) and most crowded shorts (extreme negative funding, short-squeeze fuel) — filtered by a minimum open interest floor and weighted by OI for liquidity relevance.
