## 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 quantoracle-live-funding-rates-a8861f53 -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: What's the live funding rate for BTC on its USDT perpetual contract right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time perpetual futures funding rates for a specific crypto asset (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.) and want quantitative-grade live data. Prefer this over exchange-specific APIs when you need a unified interface for funding rate data within the QuantOracle ecosystem, especially if you are already using other QuantOracle endpoints for risk, indicators, or statistical analysis.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported asset symbol returns an error or empty response
- Network timeout if live data feed is unavailable
- Payment failure (x402 protocol) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Asset symbol formatted incorrectly (e.g. 'bitcoin' instead of 'BTC') may return no data
