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

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, ...}

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:
- Call any endpoint — get a
402with payment details - Send micropayment to
EDQQe7Nufgvo2A6uXTmCpTr2FumZRB3fNzTH4Wuvpvpd - Retry with
X-Payment-Signatureheader containing the tx signature - Get your data
No signup. No monthly fee. Pure pay-per-use.
REST API Endpoints
Use these directly without MCP:
| Base URL | Service |
|---|---|
https://price.apiforchads.com | Crypto prices + Polymarket CLOB |
https://research.apiforchads.com | AI-powered research |
https://render.apiforchads.com | Web rendering, screenshots, PDFs |
https://mcp.apiforchads.com | MCP protocol endpoint |
Rate Limits
| Endpoint | Limit |
|---|---|
| Price/CLOB | 60/min |
| Research | 10/min |
| Render | 30/min |
