🗒 How to Use a Proxy with Python Requests?

💡Sometimes you need to use proxies with Request module in Python. In this case you can follow these steps:

1. Import the requests package.

2. Create a proxies dictionary that defines the HTTP and HTTPS connections. This variable should be a dictionary that maps a protocol to the proxy URL. Additionally, make a URL variable set to the webpage you're scraping from. You may use the same syntax for different API calls, but regardless of the call you're making, you need to specify the protocol.

Example

import requests
proxies = { 'http': 'http://proxy.example.com:8080', 'https': 'http://secureproxy.example.com:8090',}

url = 'http://mywebsite.com/example'
response = requests.post(url, proxies=proxies)
▶️ Here are some methods of request module:

👉 response = requests.get(url)
👉 response = requests.post(url, data={"a": 1, "b": 2})
👉 response = requests.put(url, data=put_body)
👉 response = requests.delete(url)

💵 What is Funding?

The Last Price indicates the last traded price on KuCoin Futures. To avoid the Last Price deviates from the spot price, KuCoin Futures uses the Funding mechanism to ensure that the last price is always anchored to the global spot price.

⏱ Update time
Funding occurs every 8 hours at 04:00 UTC, 12:00 UTC and 20:00 UTC. Traders will only pay or receive funding if they hold a position at one of these times. If you close your position prior to the funding exchange, then you will not pay or receive funding.

👉 When the Funding Rate is positive, longs pay shorts. When the Funding Rate is negative, shorts pay longs.

Funding Calculations
Funding=Position Value×Funding Rate

📖 Full article here

KuCoin Learning Center

🔦 Funding Rate Calculation
The Funding Rate is composed of Interest Rate and Premium Index .

1. Interest Rate
Each contract on KuCoin Futures consists two instruments: Base Currency and Quote Currency. The Interest Rate is a function of the interest rates between the two currencies, indicating the differences between the Quote Currency(USD) and the Base Currency(BTC) in specified funding interval.

Interest Rate= (Iusd- Ibtc) / Funding Interval


👉KaTeX can only parse string typed expression
Traders could check the Interest Rate at Contract Specifications and the corresponding historical data at the index page.

2. Premium Index
The perpetual contract may trade at a significant premium or discount to the Mark Price. In these situations, the Premium Index will be used to raise or lower the next Funding Rate.

{ Premium\ Index=\frac{Max(Impact\ bid\ price - Mark\ price, 0) - Max(Mark\ price - Impact\ bid\ price_{ask}, 0)}{Spot\ Index}} + Funding BasisPremium Index=
Spot Index
Max(Impact bid price−Mark price,0)−Max(Mark price−Impact bid price
