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 ## CEX Funding Rate Aggregator > Aggregate perpetual swap funding rates across **Binance**, **Bybit**, and **OKX** in one call. Spot funding extremes, cross-venue spreads, and carry-trade signals. No API key required. --- ### What It Does Pulls live funding rates for USDT perpetual swaps from the three largest crypto derivatives venues and normalizes them to annualized percentages (APR). Use it to: - Find symbols with extreme funding (over-leveraged longs or shorts) - Detect cross-venue funding spreads (cash-and-carry arbitrage) - Time market-tops/bottoms — extreme positive funding often precedes squeezes - Get Telegram alerts when any symbol's |funding APR| crosses your threshold --- ### Why Funding Rates Matter Perpetual futures don't expire — instead they use **funding** to anchor the perp price to the spot index. Every 8 hours, one side pays the other: - **Positive funding** → longs pay shorts → market is long-skewed (often bullish-positioned, sometimes overextended) - **Negative funding** → shorts pay longs → market is short-skewed (often fear-driven, contrarian buy signals) Extreme funding rates (|APR| > 50%) often signal late-stage trends or capitulation. Cross-venue spreads create cash-and-carry opportunities — long the cheaper-funded venue, short the more expensive one, collect the spread. --- ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `symbols` | string[] | `[]` | Base symbols to track (e.g. `BTC`, `ETH`).
