Crypto.com Derivatives — Funding, Open Interest & Basis

Every perpetual swap and dated future listed on the Crypto.com Exchange, in one run: funding rate (per-interval, rescaled to 8h, and annualized), open interest in contracts / base units / USD, mark vs index basis, best bid/ask and 24h stats. Built on Crypto.com's official public API — no API key, no login, no proxy, nothing to get blocked.

Crypto.com is a top-tier venue that most crypto data actors on Apify simply skip: the CoinGlass-style actors cover Binance/Bybit/OKX and stop there. If you run funding-rate arbitrage, basis trades, or a cross-venue dashboard, this fills the hole — 401 instruments in ~1 minute.

What makes it reliable

• Public REST endpoints only. No key, no session, no bot protection, so there is nothing that can silently expire. The actor does not hold — and cannot hold — any credential that moves funds.
• Everything is discovered at run time. The instrument list, the contract sizes and even the funding interval are derived from live data, never hardcoded. When Crypto.com lists a new perp, it shows up in the next run; if the venue moves from hourly to 8-hourly funding, the derived fields follow automatically.
• Partial failures are reported, never hidden. A valuation series that fails leaves that one field null, keeps the record, and names the failure in the run's status message. Missing upstream values are always null — the actor does not crash on them.
• Throttled and retried. Bounded concurrency, minimum request spacing, exponential backoff on 429/5xx.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
instrumentType	string	PERPETUAL_SWAP	PERPETUAL_SWAP, FUTURE, or both.
instrumentNames	array	[]	Exact symbols, e.g. ["BTCUSD-PERP", "BTCUSD-261225"]. Empty = every instrument of the selected type. Overrides the filters below.
minVolumeUsd24h	integer	0	Drop instruments that traded less than this in 24h. Crypto.com lists many near-zero-volume perps; 1000000 keeps the liquid ones.
maxInstruments	integer	0	Keep only the N most liquid instruments after filtering (0 = no limit).
fundingHistoryCount	integer	0	Attach the last N funding payments per perpetual as funding_history. Funding is hourly, so 24 ≈ one day.

Notes on the derived fields:

• Funding rates are fractions, not percentages. 0.000017331 = 0.0017331% per hour.
• funding_rate_8h rescales the venue's hourly rate to the 8-hour window Binance/Bybit/OKX quote, so you can compare venues without doing the arithmetic yourself.
• funding_rate_apr_pct and estimated_funding_rate_apr_pct annualize the current rate — what you'd pay/earn over a year if the rate held.
• basis_pct = (mark − index) / index × 100. For dated futures, annualized_basis_pct scales that to a yearly carry yield using days_to_expiry; it is null for perpetuals, which never expire.
• funding_rate* fields are null for dated futures, which pay no funding.

Typical run sizes

Input	Records	Time
{"instrumentNames": ["BTCUSD-PERP", "ETHUSD-PERP"]}	2	~3 s
{"minVolumeUsd24h": 1000000} (liquid perps)	~10	~5 s
{"instrumentType": "PERPETUAL_SWAP"} (all perps)	~389	~50 s
{"instrumentType": "both"} (perps + futures)	~401	~55 s

Use cases

• Funding-rate arbitrage — compare Crypto.com's funding_rate_8h against other venues and hold the cheap side. Crypto.com pays hourly, so the carry profile differs from 8-hourly venues.
• Basis / cash-and-carry — annualized_basis_pct ranks the dated BTC and ETH futures curve directly.
• Positioning dashboards — open_interest_usd across 389 perps, snapshotted on a schedule, gives you OI build-ups and unwinds per asset.
• Risk monitoring — mark vs index divergence, bid/ask spread and max_leverage per instrument.
• Research datasets — schedule the actor hourly with fundingHistoryCount to accumulate a complete funding history with no gaps.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.001 per instrument record plus the standard Apify actor start event. A full snapshot of every perpetual and future costs about $0.40; the liquid subset costs under a cent.

Data source & limits

Crypto.com Exchange public REST API (/exchange/v1/public/get-instruments, get-tickers, get-valuations). Public market data only — no accounts, no personal data, no order placement. Values are snapshots at run time; Crypto.com's own rate limits apply, and the actor stays well inside them.
