## 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 fundingrates-signal-endpoint-7b082b02
```

Example prompt: What's the current funding rate positioning signal right now — are perp markets leaning long or short across exchanges?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a synthesized positioning signal from funding rate extremes rather than raw funding rate data. It is especially useful for identifying crowded trades, detecting potential squeezes, and getting a directional bias across multiple exchanges in a single call rather than aggregating raw rates yourself.

## Known failure modes

- Exchange data unavailable — partial or stale funding rate data returned
- Rate limit exceeded — HTTP 429 if too many calls per period
- Invalid asset or exchange parameter — 400 bad request
- No signal computed — insufficient cross-exchange data for the requested asset
- Payment not attached or insufficient — 402 payment required

## How this service works

Perpetual-futures funding rates, extremes and a positioning signal across exchanges. /rates, /extremes, /signal.

## Output

Returns a positioning signal (e.g. long/short bias, extreme funding rate flags) derived from aggregated perpetual-futures funding rates across multiple exchanges, helping traders gauge whether the market is crowded in one direction.
