CoinGlass

Open interest measures outstanding contracts, while liquidation totals describe positions forcibly closed. CoinGlass places those figures in separate panels alongside funding rates and volume. Match their observation windows before drawing a comparison: its dashboard offers short open-interest changes and one-hour, four-hour or daily liquidation totals.

For example, a daily liquidation total and a five-minute change in open interest describe different periods. Funding rates also need context from price and trading activity. CoinGlass’s own explanation cautions that funding alone is not a reliable market predictor, and these charts cannot ensure a profitable trade.

Taking the data into another tool

Create an account, log in and retrieve an API key for the software connection. The Exchange History Chart request takes a coin symbol and time range, plus a choice of dollar or coin units. Its response separates the timestamps, prices and exchange-specific open-interest series. Use those units consistently when comparing venues.

The API pricing page’s annual view lists Hobbyist at $348 per year, shown as $29 per month, and Startup at $948 per year, shown as $79 per month. Both are for personal use. Standard is $3,588 per year and includes commercial use. The equivalent monthly figures do not mean monthly billing.

History depends on both the plan and interval. Standard includes six days of one-minute history and thirty days of five-minute history; daily data is listed as all-time. Confirm the relevant dataset and interval before paying for a long historical study.
