# Get perp funding-rate candles

> Returns funding-rate OHLC candles for a perpetual instrument (`instrument_name`) over an optional `start_timestamp`/`end_timestamp` window (UTC milliseconds) at a `period` granularity (defaults to 1h; 60s up to 1w supported). Each candle carries open/high/low/close per-hour rates plus a `funding_rate` mirroring the close. Public endpoint.
