## 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-perpetuals-funding-rate-history-d639e3e7
```

Example prompt: What's been the average funding rate for BTC perpetuals over the last 24 hours, and how has open interest changed?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need point-in-time historical perpetual funding rate data for a specific crypto asset over a short lookback window (up to 72 hours), especially for backtesting strategies without lookahead bias, monitoring carry trade conditions, or analysing open interest trends. It is particularly useful when you need a pay-per-call approach with no account setup and want verifiable, timestamped data suitable for quantitative analysis.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'coin' parameter returns a 400-level error
- Missing or out-of-range 'hours' parameter (must be 1–72) returns an error
- Unknown or unsupported coin symbol returns empty or error response
- Insufficient payment (x402) results in 402 Payment Required response
- Data gaps for low-liquidity assets may produce non-empty missing_hours array

Ask us to turn a public website into a JSON endpoint. Pay per call, no account, free trial.

## Output

A JSON object containing the coin symbol, the requested lookback in hours, an array of time-series points (each with timestamp, price, funding rate, and open interest), a list of any missing hours, the average hourly funding rate, open interest change percentage, and the annualised funding rate in percent.
