Crypto Futures Term Structure & Basis Curve API
The shape of the crypto dated-futures curve and the annualised basis at every expiry, read live from Deribit's public futures book — no key, nothing stored. A single spot price tells you nothing about what the market pays to hold a position over time: dated futures trade at a premium (contango) or a discount (backwardation) to spot, and that premium, annualised, is the cash-and-carry yield basis traders harvest. The curve endpoint returns, for a currency (BTC or ETH), the spot index, the perpetual and every listed dated future — each with its days to expiry, mark price, the absolute and percent basis to spot and the annualised basis — plus the overall curve shape (contango or backwardation) and the front- and back-month annualised basis. The basis endpoint returns the annualised basis (cash-and-carry yield) for a chosen expiry, or the front future. This is the futures-curve / term-structure cut for crypto — distinct from the spot-versus-perpetual basis API (a single point on the curve), and from the funding-rate, options, max-pain, gamma and price APIs in the catalogue. Currency is BTC or ETH; expiry is a Deribit code like 26JUN26.
