funding_rate

Funding Rate

Funding Rate is the clearest running price of directional crowding in perpetual futures markets.

Positive rates usually mean longs are paying shorts to hold exposure, while negative rates imply the opposite.

funding_rate_update_frequency

Funding Rate Update Frequency

Funding Rate Update Frequency tells you how often the venue refreshed its funding observations during the interval.

Operational details like this matter because faster or noisier update cadence can affect how traders interpret prediction signals.

Query Parameters

timestampreqstring

string

Timestamp source. 'exchange' uses the exchange-reported timestamp, 'true' uses actual arrival time at our servers.

exchangetrue

intervalreqstring

string

Aggregation time interval for the data.

1m5m15m30m1h4h1d

exchangereqstring

string

Source exchange for the data.

binance-futuresokx-perpshyperliquid-perps

symbolreqstring

string

Trading pair symbol in the format of Atlas' universal symbology: https://github.com/aperiodic-io/atlas

start_datereqstring<date>

string<date>

Start date for the data range (YYYY-MM-DD format). A metric series starts on the first day of the raw series it is computed from (see /metadata/raw); raw trades and quotes start binance-futures from 2020-01-01, okx-perps from 2019-09-01, hyperliquid-perps from 2025-01-01. Earlier days return no files. How far back you can go depends on the plan: 5 years on Pro, full history on Prime, Prime + Raw and Institutional. An earlier start_date than the plan reaches returns 403.

end_datereqstring<date>

string<date>

End date for the data range (YYYY-MM-DD format). Must be greater than or equal to start_date.

Successful response with download URLs for every existing file covering the range from the series' published start — one per month before 2026-08-01, one per day from 2026-08-01 onwards

Schema

filesobject[]required

Files covering the requested date range, in chronological order. Data before 2026-08-01 is split by month (one file per calendar month, no `day`); data from 2026-08-01 onwards is split by day (one file per calendar day, with `day` set). The changeover falls on a month boundary, so a given month is served entirely one way or the other; a range spanning it returns the earlier months as monthly files followed by a daily file per day.

yearintegerrequired

Year of the data file

monthintegerrequired

Month of the data file (1-12)

dayinteger

Day of the data file (1-31). Present only on daily files, i.e. those covering 2026-08-01 onwards. Absent on monthly files, which cover an entire calendar month.

urlstring<uri>required

Presigned URL for direct file download (valid for 5 minutes). URLs are served from dataset-specific subdomains, e.g. ohlcv.aperiodic.io, trade-metrics.aperiodic.io, l1-metrics.aperiodic.io, l2-metrics.aperiodic.io, derivative-metrics.aperiodic.io.
