It layers AI analysis over the news, including daily briefs, summaries, and named-entity extraction, and tracks airdrops and price alerts. Many market data endpoints are public, while other endpoints accept an X-API-Key header or a pay-per-request x402 micropayment. It reports data only and does not place trades or move funds. ## For AI agents Retrieve cryptocurrency market data, news, and DeFi statistics, with AI briefs and summaries over the news. Many market endpoints are public; others take an API key or an x402 micropayment. ## Scope Does not execute trades, custody funds, or manage wallets. Use for reading cryptocurrency market data, news, DeFi statistics, and on-chain analytics only. ## Capabilities - Retrieve coin market data with filtering, and top gainers and losers - Read Bitcoin and altcoin market dominance - Pull exchange and derivatives market data - Read DeFi statistics such as stablecoins and yields - Generate a daily AI crypto news brief and article summaries - Track upcoming airdrops and manage price alerts ## Use cases ### Agent market briefing An AI agent connected through Jentic reads coin market data and the AI-generated daily brief to produce a morning crypto summary for a user. Many market data endpoints are public, so the agent can gather prices and dominance without a key and only authenticate for premium endpoints. Example prompt: Read the coin market data and today's AI brief, then write a short market summary with the top gainers ### DeFi monitoring A research workflow pulls DeFi statistics such as the market summary, stablecoin supply, and yield data to track protocol health over time. Crypto Vision exposes separate DeFi endpoints for summary, stablecoins, and yields so an agent can assemble a DeFi snapshot on a schedule. Example prompt: Read the DeFi summary and stablecoin data and report total stablecoin supply and the top yields ### Airdrop and alert tracking An agent lists upcoming and active airdrops and sets price alerts so a user is notified when a coin crosses a threshold. The airdrops and alerts endpoints let the agent surface opportunities and register watch conditions from the same API. Example prompt: List active airdrops and create a price alert for a chosen coin at a target price ## Key endpoints | Method | Path | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | GET | `/api/market/coins` | Coin market data with filtering | | GET | `/api/market/gainers` | Top gaining cryptocurrencies by timeframe | | GET | `/api/market/dominance` | Bitcoin and altcoin market dominance | | GET | `/api/defi/summary` | DeFi market summary with key metrics | | GET | `/api/ai/brief` | Generate a daily AI crypto news brief | | GET | `/api/airdrops` | Upcoming and active cryptocurrency airdrops | ## Key resources - **Market** — Read coin market data, gainers and losers, dominance, exchanges, and derivatives - **DeFi** — Read DeFi summary, stablecoin, and yield statistics - **AI** — Generate crypto news briefs, summaries, and entity extraction - **Airdrops** — List upcoming and active cryptocurrency airdrops - **Alerts** — Create and manage price and event alerts ## AI readiness This API is usable in Jentic One now. Its AI-readiness score against Jentic's framework shows where it stands today and where improvements would make it even easier for agents to use. - **Score:** 45 / 100 - **Maturity:** Non-Ready - **Dimensions:** - Foundational Compliance: 31 / 100 - Developer Experience & Jentic Compatibility: 62 / 100 - AI-Readiness & Agent Experience: 49 / 100 - Agent Usability: 43 / 100 - Security: 50 / 100 - AI Discoverability: 52 / 100 - **View full report:** https://jentic.com/apis/cryptocurrency.cv/crypto-vision/scorecard - **How the score is calculated:** https://docs.jentic.com/reference/api-readiness-framework/overview/ - **More about the dimensions:** https://docs.jentic.com/reference/api-readiness-framework/specification/#dimensional-model-overview ### Score it yourself Every API in the directory is allowlisted, so you can re-score it with no key required. - **Score your own API:** https://jentic.com/scorecard.md - **Scoring CLI agent skill:** https://github.com/jentic/jentic-api-scorecard/blob/main/skills/jentic-api-scorecard/SKILL.md ```sh npx @jentic/api-scorecard-cli score ``` ## Why Jentic - **Setup:** Wiring the Crypto Vision News API by hand means handling two auth paths, an X-API-Key header and the x402 micropayment flow, and sorting public market endpoints from paid ones. Through Jentic you install once, import Crypto Vision from the API Directory, store any key once, and your agent calls it. - **Permission scoping:** Crypto Vision carries each data topic in the URL path, so rules bound which operations your agent may call. You choose the operations it may call, so it can read coin market data and the brief without being able to create alerts or hit paid endpoints unless you add those. - **Credential handling:** Any Crypto Vision key you use is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context. - **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'get crypto market data' or 'get a news brief', and Jentic returns the matching Crypto Vision operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs. ## Related APIs - **CoinGecko** — CoinGecko provides broad cryptocurrency market data and coin metadata. - **CoinMarketCap** — CoinMarketCap offers market cap, price, and ranking data for cryptocurrencies. - **Finnhub** — Finnhub covers broader financial market data including stocks and forex alongside crypto. ## FAQ ### What authentication does the Crypto Vision News API use? The Crypto Vision News API accepts an X-API-Key header for authenticated access, and it also supports a pay-per-request x402 micropayment through the X-PAYMENT header, per its OpenAPI spec. Many market data endpoints are public and need no credential. Through Jentic any key you use is stored once by your own self-hosted instance and injected when a call runs, so it never appears in the agent's prompt or logs. ### Can I get crypto market data with the Crypto Vision News API? Yes. Read coin market data with filtering, top gainers and losers, market dominance, and exchange and derivatives data, plus DeFi statistics such as stablecoins and yields. Many of these market endpoints are public, so an agent can pull them without a key. ### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Crypto Vision News API? Yes. Write a rule that allows only the data operations the agent needs, such as reading coin market data and the daily brief, so it cannot create alerts or spend on paid endpoints, and every call it makes is logged. Add more operations only when the task requires them. ### What are the rate limits for the Crypto Vision News API? The OpenAPI spec does not state fixed rate limits, since paid endpoints are metered through the x402 micropayment model. Check the Crypto Vision documentation for current limits and per-request pricing before heavy use. ### Is there a Crypto Vision MCP server? You don't need an MCP server to give your agent the Crypto Vision News API. Jentic connects it directly from the API Directory: import it, store any key once, and your agent calls the market and news operations on demand without loading another server's tool definitions into its context. ### How do I get a crypto brief with the Crypto Vision News API through Jentic? Search Jentic by intent such as 'get a daily crypto news brief', and Jentic returns the brief operation with its input schema so your agent calls it and reads back the summary. To run it on your own infrastructure, install Jentic One from its GitHub repo.
