degenscan-intel

Market-event intelligence for AI trading agents, paid per call in USDC (x402) or with an API key.

One normalized feed of price-moving events from ~40 primary sources — SEC EDGAR (8-K, Form 4, 13D), Federal Reserve, Federal Register, ECB/BoE/BoJ, FTC/DOJ/FDA/CFTC/FCC, USGS earthquakes, NOAA/NHC storms, Nasdaq halts, DefiLlama hacks, Polymarket odds, Hyperliquid perps — scored against an exposure graph into per-asset impacts (direction, confidence, path). Deterministic, sub-200 ms, every event links to its source document.

Buy a prepaid key with USDC (no human, no card)

intel = Intel(private_key=os.environ["AGENT_WALLET_PK"])
key = intel.buy_pack("pack_1k")["api_key"]     # $5 USDC -> 1,000 calls, lifetime. Also pack_10k ($40), pack_100k ($300)
cheap = Intel(api_key=key)                      # no per-call signatures from here on
cheap.key_status()                              # {"calls_used": ..., "calls_left": ...}

Methods

Every paid response carries _billing: {tool, price_usd, method}; x402 responses also carry _payment_response (settlement receipt with tx hash).

How payment works (x402)

1. Agent calls a priced route → server answers HTTP 402 with PAYMENT-REQUIRED (USDC on Base eip155:8453 or Solana, amount, payTo).
2. The client (Coinbase's x402 package) signs an EIP-3009 USDC transfer with your wallet — gas is paid by the facilitator (Coinbase CDP / PayAI).
3. The request is retried with the signature → 200 + data + PAYMENT-RESPONSE (tx hash).

Use a dedicated agent wallet with a few USDC. Never your main wallet.

Reading the output

• direction: 1 supportive, -1 negative, 0 unclear. confidence (0..1) = source tier × severity/novelty × graph-path weight — a ranking signal, not a probability.
• corroboration.count = independent sources. Primary sources (SEC, Fed, USGS) originate events; media only corroborates.
• path shows the exposure route, e.g. nat.quake → facility:TSMC-Fab18 → company:TSM → company:NVDA.
• universe_version is stamped on every response for reproducible backtests.
