## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need historical time-series data specifically for perpetuals (derivatives) markets tracked by the Gloom open-source finance terminal. Prefer this over spot market endpoints when analyzing leveraged derivatives instruments. It is most useful for backtesting, charting, and volatility analysis of crypto perps pairs.

- Payment failure (x402) if USDC funds are insufficient for the $0.06 per-call cost
