#open-interest

A cross-exchange aggregator of cryptocurrency perpetual-futures and derivatives markets — the funding rates, open interest and volume that drive leveraged crypto trading, pulled together across every listed derivatives exchange (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Hyperliquid, MEXC and dozens more). The perps endpoint ranks the largest perpetual markets by open interest with their price, funding rate, open interest and 24h volume. The funding endpoint compares the funding rate of one asset (e.g. BTC, ETH, SOL) across every exchange that lists it, with the average — so you can spot funding dislocations and basis trades at a glance. The exchanges endpoint ranks derivatives venues by open interest with their perpetual and futures pair counts. The overview endpoint aggregates total open interest, total 24h volume and the perpetual-pair count across the whole derivatives market. The meta endpoint documents the API. Live aggregated data, lightly cached; funding rates are percentages, open interest in USD per market and BTC for venue totals. Live. 5 endpoints. This aggregates derivatives across all exchanges; for a single exchange's raw order book use that exchange's API.

Where the crypto options market is positioned, and the strike toward which an expiry's open interest exerts the most "pain" — computed live from Deribit's public option book, no key, nothing stored. Max pain is the strike at which the total value of all open options is lowest at expiry: the price at which the greatest dollar amount of option open interest expires worthless and option writers keep the most premium. Traders watch it because price often gravitates toward max pain into a large expiry. The maxpain endpoint takes a currency (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP) and an expiry and returns the max-pain strike, the spot/underlying, how far spot sits from max pain, and the call and put open-interest totals with the put/call OI ratio. The oi endpoint returns the full open-interest-by-strike distribution for an expiry — which strikes hold the most open interest, the magnets and walls (support & resistance) traders watch. The expiries endpoint lists every listed expiry with its aggregate open interest, contract count and call/put split. This is the aggregate options-positioning / max-pain analytics cut for crypto — distinct from the raw per-contract option chain (greeks/IV), from US equity options and from the crypto-volatility APIs in the catalogue. Currency is BTC, ETH, SOL or XRP; expiry is a Deribit code like 26JUN26.

Live ranking and directory of crypto derivatives venues — the platforms that run perpetual and futures markets — served from the public CoinGecko feed with no key and nothing cached. This is a venue-level view of the derivatives market, distinct from spot-exchange directories, per-contract open-interest feeds and single-exchange tickers: it ranks the derivatives platforms themselves. The exchanges endpoint returns the venues ranked by open interest (or by 24-hour volume), each with its open interest in BTC, 24-hour derivatives volume in BTC, the number of perpetual and futures pairs it lists, its country and the year it was established — so one call tells you who the biggest derivatives venues are and how concentrated open interest is. The exchange endpoint returns a single venue's full profile by id. The list endpoint returns every derivatives-exchange id and name for lookup and autocomplete. Everything is read live from CoinGecko on each request, nothing stored beyond a short protective cache. Ideal for derivatives dashboards, open-interest and market-structure analytics, venue comparison and trading tools. Live, no key. 3 endpoints. For per-contract funding and open-interest history use a derivatives or open-interest API.

Live derivatives and spot market data from Bybit, one of the largest crypto-derivatives exchanges, straight from its public v5 API. Built for perpetual swaps: the ticker returns a contract's last, mark and index price together, the 24-hour change, high, low, volume and turnover, the live open interest in contracts and in USD, and the current funding rate with the next funding time — a whole perp in one call. The funding endpoint returns the historical funding-rate series, the recurring payments that anchor a perp to spot. The openinterest endpoint returns the open-interest time series, the best gauge of leverage building or unwinding. The kline endpoint returns OHLCV candles at any interval. Linear (USDT) perps, inverse (coin) perps and spot are all reachable via the category parameter. Live, no key, nothing stored. Distinct from Coinbase, Bitstamp, OKX, Gate.io, Bitfinex and Gemini venue APIs and from aggregated derivatives feeds — this is Bybit's own ticker, funding history, open interest and candles. Perfect for trading, charting, derivatives-analytics and risk apps.

Live cross-exchange perpetual-futures market data — no key, nothing cached. Where single-exchange APIs show one venue, this compares the whole derivatives market across every exchange at once. The contract endpoint takes a symbol (BTCUSDT, ETHUSD) and returns that contract on every exchange that lists it — the mark price, the funding rate, the basis, the open interest and the 24-hour volume on Binance, Bybit, OKX, MEXC, Hyperliquid and the rest side by side, so you can instantly see where funding is richest and where the open interest sits (BTCUSDT trades on dozens of venues with billions in open interest each). The exchanges endpoint is the derivatives-exchange league table, ranked by open interest in BTC, with each venue's 24-hour volume and number of perpetual and futures pairs. The top endpoint surfaces the largest contracts market-wide by open interest or by volume. This is the cross-exchange derivatives layer for any trading, funding-arbitrage, risk or analytics app. Live from CoinGecko, nothing stored. Distinct from single-exchange funding and open-interest APIs — this is the whole perpetual-futures market across exchanges. 4 endpoints.

Live open-interest history and trend for crypto perpetual futures, served from the Bybit v5 feed. Open interest is the total value of outstanding contracts — its trend, rising or falling alongside price, is the signal traders use to confirm a move or spot a squeeze. For any USDT perpetual this returns the latest open interest in contracts and in USD, how it has changed over your chosen window, the rising / falling / flat trend, and the full time-series across 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h and 1d buckets. Look a contract up by symbol (BTCUSDT) or base coin (BTC), pull its open-interest history, or list every tradable perpetual. Live data, no cache. Distinct from a funding-rate API (which carries the rate snapshot) and from price / ticker APIs — this is the open-interest time-series and trend layer.
