## 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 manylives-crypto-funding-rates-65c91824
```

Example prompt: Pull the current funding rates for BTC, ETH, and SOL — I want to see the hourly and annualized rates, mark price, oracle price, open interest, and 24h volume for each.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time perpetual futures funding rate data — including hourly and annualized rates, mark/oracle price spreads, volume, and open interest — for crypto assets. It is pay-per-call with no account required, making it ideal for AI trading agents that need on-demand funding rate snapshots without ongoing subscription commitments. Prefer this over general market data APIs when funding rate and derivatives-specific metrics are the primary need.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized coin symbol returns an empty or partial markets array
- Network or payment failure returns a 402 or 5xx error
- Stale data if upstream exchange feeds are delayed
- Rate limiting if payment is not properly settled via x402 protocol

## How this service works

## Output

A JSON array of market objects, each containing: coin symbol, mark price, oracle price, 24-hour USD volume, open interest in USD, annualized funding rate percentage, and hourly funding rate percentage. Defaults to top 20 coins by open interest if no coin list is specified.
