API for Chads

MCP server for AI agents — crypto prices, prediction markets, web research & rendering

Website • Quick Start • Tools • Examples • Payment

9 tools for market intelligence, web rendering, and deep research. No accounts, no subscriptions — pay per request with Solana micropayments or an API key.

🌐 [apiforchads.com](https://apiforchads.com)

Why?

AI agents need data. Getting it usually means API keys, monthly plans, rate limit dashboards, and billing pages. That's friction built for humans, not agents.

API for Chads is built for the agentic web:

• MCP native — agents discover and use tools automatically
• x402 native — agents pay per request with Solana, no human needed
• One server, four capabilities — prices, markets, research, rendering
• Sub-penny pricing — most requests cost < $0.02

Tools

Quick Start

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "apiforchads": { "url": "https://mcp.apiforchads.com/mcp" } } }

Restart Claude. You now have 9 new tools.

Cursor / Windsurf

Add to your MCP settings:

{

"apiforchads": { "url": "https://mcp.apiforchads.com/mcp" } }

Any MCP Client (Python)

from mcp import ClientSession

from mcp.client.streamable_http import streamablehttp_client

async with streamablehttp_client("https://mcp.apiforchads.com/mcp") as (r, w, _): async with ClientSession(r, w) as session: await session.initialize()

Get BTC price

result = await session.call_tool("get_crypto_price", {"asset": "BTC"}) print(result) # {"chainlink_price": 65920.45, "binance_price": 65935.12, ...}

Examples

Get crypto prices

# With API key

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \ https://price.apiforchads.com/v1/prices/BTC

Response

{ "asset": "BTC", "chainlink_price": 65920.45, "binance_price": 65935.12, "chainlink_age_seconds": 13, "timestamp": 1771833021 }

Get Polymarket orderbook

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \

https://price.apiforchads.com/v1/clob/will-trump-deport-less-than-250000

Response

{ "market_slug": "will-trump-deport-less-than-250000", "best_bid": 0.42, "best_ask": 0.44, "spread": 0.02, "mid_price": 0.43 }

Quick research

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \ https://research.apiforchads.com/v1/research \ -d '{"query": "What are the latest Bitcoin ETF inflows?", "tier": "quick"}'

Returns job_id — poll /v1/research/status/{job_id} for results

Render a JS-heavy page

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \ https://render.apiforchads.com/v1/render \ -d '{"url": "https://polymarket.com", "format": "markdown", "max_chars": 5000}'

Screenshot

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \ https://render.apiforchads.com/v1/render/screenshot \ -d '{"url": "https://example.com", "full_page": true}' \ --output screenshot.png

Python SDK (coming soon)

from apiforchads import Client

client = Client(api_key="YOUR_KEY")

btc = client.price("BTC") print(f"BTC: ${btc.chainlink_price:,.2f}")

market = client.clob("will-trump-deport-less-than-250000") print(f"Bid: {market.best_bid} Ask: {market.best_ask}")

report = client.research("Latest crypto regulations", tier="quick") print(report.text)

Payment

Two ways to pay:

1. API Key (recommended for humans)

Get a free API key with 1000 requests: email chadbot0x@proton.me

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" https://price.apiforchads.com/v1/prices/BTC

2. x402 Micropayments (for agents)

The x402 protocol lets agents pay per request with Solana:

1. Call any endpoint — get a 402 with payment details
2. Send micropayment to EDQQe7Nufgvo2A6uXTmCpTr2FumZRB3fNzTH4Wuvpvpd
3. Retry with X-Payment-Signature header containing the tx signature
4. Get your data

No signup. No monthly fee. Pure pay-per-use.

REST API Endpoints

Use these directly without MCP:
