Retrieve the latest Binance perpetual funding rate and APR for a given symbol via x402 micropayment.
What it does
This x402-enabled endpoint returns the latest funding rate and annualized percentage rate (APR) for a specific Binance perpetual futures symbol. It is hosted on the Heurist Mesh API platform and accepts a POST request with a JSON body containing the trading symbol (e.g., "BTC" or "BTCUSDT"). Payment is handled via the x402 protocol on the Base network using USDC, with a maximum cost of 1000 units (likely 0.001 USDC given 6-decimal USDC).
The endpoint is live and returns a standard 402 challenge when called without payment. The input schema is well-defined: a required `symbol` string field and an optional `debug` boolean (which should always be set to false in production). The response schema is not documented, so the exact shape of the returned funding-rate data must be inferred from usage. No OpenAPI spec, dedicated docs page, or pricing page was found on the mesh.heurist.xyz host; the canonical documentation site appears to be mesh.heurist.ai.
This endpoint is part of the Heurist Mesh ecosystem, which provides an agent library and skill marketplace. It is suitable for trading bots, DeFi dashboards, and quantitative research tools that need real-time Binance funding rate data accessible through a pay-per-call model.

Warnings
