Radar Tools (6)
funding_events
What is burning on the crypto perpetuals funding market right now: open extreme events (|hourly rate| ≥ 0.1%/h) with peaks and receiving sides, plus the top pairs by hourly funding rate across Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget and Hyperliquid. Rates are predictions for the next settlement; data age ≤ ~5 min.
pair_briefing
Everything the radar knows about one perpetual pair in a single answer: funding rate and receiving side, time to next settlement, mark price, 24h volume, open interest with deviation from the 7-day norm, orderbook walls with break-through history, how the price usually moves around settlement, and the same coin on other exchanges. Accepts an exact symbol (BTCUSDT) or just the coin (BTC).
funding_history
Charged funding rates of one coin across all exchanges where it trades, normalized to %/hour on a common hourly grid (up to 90 days back). Shows whether the cross-exchange spread is sustained (feeds a hedged pair) or a one-off spike. Returns the curves plus the median and maximum spread.
