HOW IT WORKS

From question to data in one request.

No account, no subscription required. Your agent finds a feed, micro pays once in USDC and gets the data. Simple as that.

01 · discover

1. Ask for data

Agents can describe what they need. /discover returns matching endpoints, so your agent's context window stays small.

  • No catalog browsing
  • Matches by meaning, not keywords
  • Works from any MCP client
GET /discover
GET /discover?q=bitcoin funding rates

→ /v1/cryptodata/market-intelligence/funding-rates
→ /v1/cryptodata/derivatives/funding-rates
→ /v1/cryptodata/backtesting/funding
02 · pay

2. Pay per request

Our API provides x402 with the price so your agent client signs a USDC payment automatically.

  • No key or signup required
  • Prices from $0.008 per call
  • Failed calls are never charged

Time passes are bought the same way: one x402 payment to POST /purchase/{feed}/{plan} returns a feed-scoped key. How passes work

HTTP 402 → signed retry
HTTP/1.1 402 Payment Required
price: 0.01 USDC · network: base

→ client signs payment
→ retries with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header
03 · receive

3. Get the data

Responses stream from the nearest edge node. Cacheable data is served from the edge cache, everything else straight from the provider.

  • Edge cache where the data allows
  • Data age on every response
  • Uptime and latency monitored live

TIME PASSES

Pre-pay time passes. Your agent gets data faster!

Pay-per-call means a x402 challenge and sign on every request. A time pass gives your agent a key up front: one request, one response, no payment round-trip.

Why a time pass is faster? round-trips per request

Passes are bought in USDC: from any wallet on Base, Ethereum or Solana, or by your agent with one x402 payment on Base. The pass comes with an agent key (your agent's existing key when it pays with x402). There is no recurring payment, you pay only when you want. Passes shown are for the CryptoDataAPI feed; every feed sets its own.
