# Obtaining Predicted Funding Rates for Futures {% embed url="" %} {% embed url="" %} ### Instructions The notebook linked above shows how to obtain predicted funding rates for futures. While the *actual* funding rates don't change very frequently, the *predicted* funding rate is calculated every minute or so and therefore can be a leading indicator for funding rate changes. This video also compares two plotting libraries: matplotlib and plotly express. The notebook was published for [Google Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/). If you want to use it in Colab, the easiest way is to open Colab and load the notebook from the Github URL (pasted into the open dialog). This method does not require cloning the repo first. If you prefer to use the notebook with Jupyter, all you need to change is the way in which the API key is retrieved. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://gitbook-docs.coinmetrics.io/tutorials-and-examples/tutorials/obtaining-predicted-funding-rates-for-futures.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
