# Obtaining Futures Market Liquidations

{% embed url="<https://github.com/coinmetrics/demo/blob/master/Market_Liquidations.ipynb>" %}

### Instructions

The notebook linked above shows how to obtain liquidation metrics for futures. We show both REST API calls and web socket connections for the same.

The notebook also covers how to use Reference Data and Catalog. It is applicable for all market data / asset metrics.

The notebook was published for [Google Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/). If you want to use it in Colab, the easiest way is to open Colab and load the notebook from the Github URL (pasted into the open dialog). This method does not require cloning the repo first.

If you prefer to use the notebook with Jupyter, all you need to change is the way in which the API key is retrieved.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://gitbook-docs.coinmetrics.io/tutorials-and-examples/tutorials/obtaining-futures-market-liquidations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
