# Funding Rates Decision API

> Funding Rates Decision API is a paid API for AI agents from funding-rates-x402.data-labs.cloud, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status down (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns current perpetual futures funding rates across up to 16 crypto derivatives venues, normalized for AI trading agent consumption, via a micropayment-gated endpoint.

## 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-rates-decision-api-a1e23f44
```

Example prompt: What are the current funding rates for BTC and ETH across Binance, Bybit, Hyperliquid, and Paradex — I want to compare periodic vs continuous accrual venues to decide where to open a long?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI trading agent needs a real-time, multi-venue normalized view of perpetual futures funding rates to make position sizing or venue-selection decisions. It is particularly valuable when comparing periodic-cadence venues (Binance, Bybit, Gate, etc.) against continuously-accruing venues (Reya, Paradex) in a single call. Prefer this over scraping individual exchange APIs when consistency of schema, normalization of funding interval hours, and a single micropayment-gated call covering 16 venues matters for latency and simplicity.

## Known failure modes

- 402 Payment Required — unpaid request; response body lists per-route price in USDC and payment challenge details
- Invalid or unsupported venue name in the `venues` parameter — venue omitted from results or warning issued
- Unknown symbol in `symbols` parameter — no records returned for that symbol, warning may be included
- All venues unavailable or rate-limit exhausted upstream — empty records array with warnings
- Network timeout or upstream exchange API failure — partial results with warnings indicating which venues failed

## How this service works

Paid funding rate decision API for AI trading agents across up to 16 perp venues. Settled via x402 on Base mainnet (eip155:8453) using the Coinbase Mogami v2 facilitator; unpaid requests receive a 402 challenge that lists the per-route price.

## Output

Returns an array of funding rate records, each containing the venue name, symbol, per-interval funding rate as a decimal, funding cadence type (periodic or continuous_accrual), next funding time as Unix epoch milliseconds (or null), and the funding interval in hours. Also includes a metadata block with the service name, version, and response timestamp, plus a warnings array for any data quality or availability issues.
