Liquidation Heatmap（真正的价格区间清算压力）

cg_liquidation_analysis 返回全0，不可用。正确做法是直接调 API：

from tools._api import cg_request

# 全市场聚合热力图（推荐，无需指定交易所）
# range 支持: 12h, 24h, 3d, 7d, 30d, 90d, 180d, 1y
data = cg_request("api/futures/liquidation/aggregated-heatmap/model1",
                  params={"symbol": "BTC", "range": "24h"})

# 返回结构：
# data["y_axis"]                   → 价格档位列表（从低到高）
# data["liquidation_leverage_data"] → [[y_idx, leverage, usd_value], ...]
# data["price_candlesticks"]        → OHLCV K线，最后一根收盘价 = 当前价
# data["update_time"]               → 更新时间戳

# 解析方法：
from collections import defaultdict
y_axis = data["y_axis"]
current_price = float(data["price_candlesticks"][-1][4])
price_liq = defaultdict(float)
for y_idx, leverage, usd_val in data["liquidation_leverage_data"]:
    if 0 <= y_idx < len(y_axis):
        price_liq[y_axis[y_idx]] += usd_val

longs  = {p: v for p, v in price_liq.items() if p < current_price}  # 多头清算（↓触发）
shorts = {p: v for p, v in price_liq.items() if p > current_price}  # 空头清算（↑触发）

注意：单交易所版本（heatmap/model1 带 exchange 参数）当前会报 400 错误，改用 aggregated 版本。

Script Usage

Script-mode skill — read this file, then invoke from a bash block:

python3 - <<'EOF'
import sys, json
sys.path.insert(0, "/data/workspace/skills/coinglass")
from exports import funding_rate, cg_open_interest, cg_liquidations

print(funding_rate(symbol="BTC"))
print(cg_open_interest(symbol="BTC"))
EOF

Read exports.py for the full list of available functions and exact signatures. Common ones: funding_rate, long_short_ratio, cg_open_interest, cg_liquidations, cg_liquidation_analysis, cg_global_account_ratio, cg_top_account_ratio, cg_top_position_ratio, cg_taker_exchanges, cg_net_position, cg_supported_coins, cg_supported_exchanges, cg_coins_market_data, cg_pair_market_data, cg_ohlc_history, cg_hyperliquid_whale_alerts, cg_hyperliquid_whale_positions, cg_taker_volume_history, cg_aggregated_taker_volume, cg_cumulative_volume_delta, cg_coin_netflow, cg_whale_transfers, cg_btc_etf_flows, cg_eth_etf_flows, cg_sol_etf_flows.

Coinglass

Coinglass provides the most comprehensive crypto derivatives and institutional data available. 37 tools covering futures positioning, whale tracking, volume analysis, liquidations, and ETF flows.

API Plan: Professional ($699/month) Rate Limit: 6000 requests/minute API Version: V4 (with V2 backward compatibility) Total Tools: 37 across 8 categories

Function Reference (full signatures + return shapes)

All functions live in exports.py. Most return Optional[List[Dict]] or Optional[Dict]. None means the upstream call failed or returned empty — always check before indexing.

⚠️ Field naming convention (READ THIS FIRST)

CoinGlass v4 API uses camelCase for almost all data fields, with a few legacy snake_case exceptions in liquidation endpoints. Don't assume snake_case — inspect the dict before scripting.

• camelCase: openInterest, volUsd, longRate, shortVolUsd, exchangeName, nextFundingTime, fundingIntervalHours, oichangePercent, h4OIChangePercent, avgFundingRateBySymbol, tokenAmount, liquidationUsd (in some endpoints)
• snake_case (legacy, only in cg_liquidations): liquidation_usd, longLiquidation_usd, shortLiquidation_usd
• rate fields (funding) are STRINGS with "+" / "-" / "%" — parse with float(r.rstrip('%').lstrip('+')) to compare numerically
• timestamps are millisecond unix epoch (e.g. 1777881600000)

Tool Selection Guide

Decision Tree

Step 1: Is this about LIQUIDATIONS?

Liquidation query?
├─ YES → How many coins?
│   ├─ ALL coins / ranking / 排行 / 汇总
│   │   └─ → cg_liquidation_coin_list  ✅ (most liquidation queries land here)
│   ├─ ONE coin, need history over time
│   │   └─ → cg_coin_liquidation_history
│   ├─ ONE coin, specific orders (price/side/USD)
│   │   └─ → cg_liquidation_orders
│   └─ ONE coin, just a quick total + sentiment label
│       └─ → cg_liquidation_analysis  (rarely needed; only if explicitly "simple summary")

Step 2: Is this about LONG/SHORT RATIO?

Long/short query?
├─ Historical time-series, trend over time, 多空比变化
│   └─ → cg_global_account_ratio  (ALL accounts)
│      or cg_top_account_ratio    (top traders only)
│      or cg_top_position_ratio   (by position size)
└─ Current snapshot only (no history needed)
    └─ → long_short_ratio

Step 3: Is this about OPEN INTEREST?

OI query?
└─ → cg_open_interest  (always — do NOT use cg_coins_market_data for OI)

Step 4: Is this a MARKET OVERVIEW / SENTIMENT query?

Sentiment / 市场情绪 / pre-trade check?
└─ Use: funding_rate + long_short_ratio + cg_open_interest
   DO NOT use cg_coins_market_data as a substitute for any of the above

Keyword → Tool Lookup

Common Mistakes

Mistake 1 (most common — 8x failure): Using cg_liquidations when you need cg_liquidation_coin_list

• cg_liquidations → one coin, one timeframe, basic total only
• cg_liquidation_coin_list(exchange) → ALL coins, multi-timeframe (1h/4h/12h/24h), per-exchange breakdown
• Rule: If the question asks for a ranking, overview, or doesn't specify a single coin → use cg_liquidation_coin_list

Mistake 2 (5x failure): Using cg_liquidation_analysis for liquidation rankings

• cg_liquidation_analysis adds a sentiment label to a single-coin total — it is NOT a ranking tool
• Rule: "今日爆仓排行" / "各币种爆仓" → always cg_liquidation_coin_list

Mistake 3 (3x failure): Using long_short_ratio for historical L/S analysis

• long_short_ratio is a current snapshot (no time-series)
• cg_global_account_ratio returns history — use it when the user wants trends or comparison over time
• Rule: If the question compares 全网 (global) vs 头部 (top traders) → call BOTH cg_global_account_ratio AND cg_top_account_ratio

Mistake 4 (2x failure): Using cg_coins_market_data for open interest

• cg_coins_market_data is a bulk snapshot of many coins — not a replacement for dedicated OI or L/S tools
• Rule: OI question → cg_open_interest. L/S question → long_short_ratio or cg_global_account_ratio. Never route either to cg_coins_market_data.

Rules

Tool Call Guidance

❌ FORBIDDEN TOOLS — NEVER USE:

• bash — Do NOT write scripts to process/format data. Use natural language.
• write_file / read_file / edit_file — Do NOT save intermediate data. Answer directly.
• learning_log — ONLY for genuine skill bugs or persistent API errors. NOT for empty responses.
• echo — Do NOT use for debugging or output.

✅ CORRECT PATTERN:

• Tool returns data → Summarize in natural language → Done
• Tool returns empty/null → Report "no data available" → Done
• Need calculation (%, change, ratio) → Do mental math in reply

Match tool count to question scope:

• 单一指标问题（"BTC 资金费率"、"ETH 多空比"）→ 1 个工具，直接返回
• 多维度分析（"做多是否合适"、"衍生品体检"）→ 3-5 个工具，综合分析
• 对比问题（"ETH vs SOL"）→ 每个币种调相同工具，并列对比
• 避免重复调用同一工具。 除非用户明确要求不同币种/交易所的对比。

Learning Log Usage (CRITICAL)

learning_log is FORBIDDEN for:

• ❌ Empty API responses — just report "no data available"
• ❌ Tool returning None/null — handle gracefully
• ❌ Uncertainty about tool selection — check decision tree first
• ❌ Normal tool errors — retry once, then report failure

learning_log is ONLY for:

• ✅ Genuine bugs in skill code (wrong data format returned)
• ✅ Persistent API rate limit errors after 2+ retries
• ✅ Missing tools that should exist per skill definition

ETF Tool Selection

ETF 对比问题 workflow:

# BTC vs ETH ETF 对比
btc = cg_btc_etf_flows()
eth = cg_eth_etf_flows()
# Compare the latest day's net flows, summarize in 2-3 sentences

Interpretation Guides

Funding Rates

Extreme funding often precedes reversals. The crowd is usually wrong at extremes.

Open Interest + Price Matrix

Long/Short Ratio

CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta)

ETF Flows

Analysis Patterns

Multi-metric confirmation: Combine tools across categories for high-confidence signals:

• Funding + L/S ratio + liquidations = positioning extremes
• CVD + taker volume + whale alerts = smart money direction
• ETF flows + whale transfers + open interest = institutional conviction

Smart money vs retail: Compare metrics to identify divergence:

• cg_top_account_ratio (smart money) vs cg_global_account_ratio (retail)
• Hyperliquid whale positions vs overall long/short ratios

Cascade prediction: Use liquidation tools to predict volatility:

• cg_coin_liquidation_history shows liquidation patterns over time
• cg_liquidation_orders reveals recent forced closures
• Large liquidation events = cascade risk zones

Flow divergence: Track capital movements:

• cg_coin_netflow shows where money is flowing
• cg_whale_transfers reveals large movements
• ETF flows show institutional demand

Performance Optimization

Batch vs Individual Calls

✅ OPTIMAL: Use batch endpoints

# One call gets 100+ coins
all_coins = cg_coins_market_data()

# One call gets all whale alerts
whales = cg_hyperliquid_whale_alerts()

# One call gets all ETF flows
btc_etf = cg_btc_etf_flows()

❌ INEFFICIENT: Multiple individual calls

# Don't do this - wastes API quota
btc = cg_pair_market_data("BTC", "Binance")
eth = cg_pair_market_data("ETH", "Binance")
sol = cg_pair_market_data("SOL", "Binance")

Query Parameters

Most history endpoints support:

• interval: Time granularity (1h, 4h, 12h, 24h, etc.)
• limit: Number of records (default varies, max 1000)
• start_time: Unix timestamp (milliseconds)
• end_time: Unix timestamp (milliseconds)

Example:

cg_coin_liquidation_history(
    symbol="BTC",
    interval="1h",
    limit=100,
    start_time=1704067200000,  # 2024-01-01
    end_time=1704153600000     # 2024-01-02
)
