CoinGlass Node

The CoinGlass node pulls derivatives and market-structure data into your workflow. It is organized as categories and lenses: pick a category (Derivatives, Positioning, Liquidations, Hyperliquid, Market Screener, Options, ETF, On-chain, Macro & Sentiment), then the lens that answers your question. Every lens returns the same envelope — a one-line summary, a latest value, and a normalized series, rows, or snapshot — so downstream nodes learn the shape once.

Why Derivatives Data Matters

Spot price alone tells you where the market is. Derivatives data tells you where it is going — and who is about to get hurt.

• Open interest tracks how much money is committed to futures positions. Rising OI into a rally means leveraged longs are piling in — fuel for a liquidation cascade if price reverses.
• Funding rates show whether longs or shorts are paying to hold. Extreme positive funding means the market is overleveraged long; extreme negative means the opposite. Both are contrarian signals.
• Positioning (account and top-trader ratios, taker buy/sell) reveals how the crowd and the whales are leaning.
• Liquidations measure forced position closures. A $500M liquidation event often marks a local top or bottom.
• Hyperliquid whales, ETF flows, and exchange reserves show where large capital is moving right now.
• Macro indexes (Fear & Greed, dominance, altcoin season, cycle-top indicators) frame the regime you are trading in.

Workflow Examples

Funding Rate Monitor

Track market-wide funding and alert when it reaches an extreme — a classic contrarian signal.

Use the funding-rate-aggregated lens and set the Conditional node on {coinglass.latest.close} (for example greater than 0.05 or less than -0.03). When it fires, the LLM interprets the signal and the email node notifies your team.

Liquidation-Based Signals

The liquidations lens already sums the candle into {coinglass.latest.totalLiquidationUsd}, so no Function node is needed before the Conditional.

Cross-Venue Funding Arbitrage

Pricing & Credits

The CoinGlass node is free on NickAI — every lens costs 0 credits. Results are cached for the endpoint's refresh cadence (15s–6h), so repeated calls inside that window return instantly. The properties panel shows the refresh window for the selected lens.
