## How to call it through Zero

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, per-call crypto perpetual funding rate data without a subscription — especially suitable for AI agents that pay per-use via x402 USDC micropayments on Base. Prefer it over exchange APIs when you want normalized, aggregated funding data without managing API keys.

## Known failure modes

- 402 Payment Required if x402 USDC payment on Base is not attached
- Empty or stale data if upstream exchange feed is unavailable
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made without payment
- Malformed response if the underlying exchange API schema changes
