Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Funding Rate Arbitrage Scanner ⚖️ **Find risk-free-ish funding spreads between exchanges before you scan them by hand.** Perpetual futures charge a funding fee every 8 hours between longs and shorts. That fee is never quite the same on OKX, Bybit, Gate.io and KuCoin for the same asset — and when the gap is wide enough, traders go long on the cheap side and short on the expensive side: a delta-neutral position that pockets the spread regardless of which way the market moves. This actor watches that spread for you, across exchanges, continuously. ### What you get Two row types: - **Snapshot** — current funding rate (raw + annualized %) per symbol per exchange - **Signal** — a named, fired condition: | Signal | Meaning | |--------|---------| | `arbitrage_opportunity` | Cross-exchange funding spread wide enough to be worth a delta-neutral position — tells you exactly which exchange to long and which to short | | `extreme_funding` | A single exchange's funding rate is unusually hot — crowded positioning, useful context even without a counterparty | No history needed: the spread is actionable the moment it's observed. ### Sources (all public, no API key) **OKX, Bybit, Gate.io, KuCoin** — perpetual futures funding rate endpoints. Binance is deliberately excluded: its API blocks cloud/datacenter IPs. ### Use cases - **Funding arbitrageurs** — a live radar across 4 exchanges instead of checking each one by hand - **Perp traders** — spot crowded/extreme funding before entering a position - **Bots & automations** — feed clean signals into your own execution pipeline ### Input (all optional) | Field | Default | Description | |-------|---------|--------------| | `symbols` | `["BTC","ETH","SOL"]` | Assets to compare (also supports XRP, DOGE) | | `exchanges` | all 4 | Which exchanges to include: okx, bybit, gateio, kucoin | | `min_spread_apr_pct` | `32.85` | Minimum annualized spread between two exchanges to fire `arbitrage_opportunity` | | `extreme_funding_apr_pct` | `54.75` | Single-exchange annualized funding to fire `extreme_funding` | ### Output ```json { "type": "signal", "signal": "arbitrage_opportunity", "symbol": "BTC", "long_exchange": "bybit", "short_exchange": "kucoin", "spread_annualized_pct": 41.2, "message": "BTC: go long on bybit (funding 0.0100%), short on kucoin (funding 0.0550%) — spread 41.2% APR." } ```` ### Pricing **Pay per result:** **$0.002 per row** (snapshots + signals). Scanning 3 symbols × 4 exchanges is a fraction of a cent per run. ### Tips - **Schedule it** every 15–30 min to catch spreads as they open and close. - Widen `symbols` to cover more assets — more comparisons, more chances at a spread. - Remember: funding-rate arbitrage is delta-neutral but not risk-free (execution slippage, exchange risk, margin requirements). This actor surfaces the spread — you manage the trade. *** *⚠️ Not financial advice. Perpetual futures involve leverage and real risk. This actor surfaces market data — it does not execute trades or guarantee profit. All data from public exchange APIs.* # Actor input Schema ## `symbols` (type: `array`): Base assets to compare across exchanges (e.g. BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE). ## `exchanges` (type: `array`): Which exchanges to include: okx, bybit, gateio, kucoin. Default is all four. ## `min_spread_apr_pct` (type: `number`): Minimum annualized funding-rate spread between two exchanges to fire an arbitrage\_opportunity signal. ## `extreme_funding_apr_pct` (type: `number`): Single-exchange funding rate (annualized) at/above which extreme\_funding fires, signalling crowded positioning. ## Actor input object example ```json { "symbols": [ "BTC", "ETH", "SOL" ], "exchanges": [ "okx", "bybit", "gateio", "kucoin" ], "min_spread_apr_pct": 32.85, "extreme_funding_apr_pct": 54.75 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("0xgollum/funding-rate-arbitrage").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
