For Agents

Create, list, update, and delete cryptocurrency price and on-chain alert conditions for an existing Cryptocurrency Alerting account.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Cryptocurrency Alerting API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Cryptocurrency Alerting API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Capabilities

What an agent can do with Cryptocurrency Alerting API.

Create a percent-change alert that fires when an asset moves a defined percentage within a time window

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Cryptocurrency Alerting API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Trader Price Alerts

Power a trading dashboard that lets users define price thresholds and receive alerts on Telegram or email when the market crosses them. The API persists every alert as an alert-condition record and the parent service handles delivery, so the integrator only manages condition CRUD. Suitable for retail trading apps that do not want to build their own price monitoring infrastructure.

Call POST /alert-conditions with type=price, asset=BTC, target=100000, and a delivery channel ID to create a one-shot price alert.

Treasury Wallet Monitoring

Watch corporate treasury wallets for unauthorised outflows. The agent registers a wallet alert on each cold-storage address and the API fires a webhook the moment any transaction touches it. This catches early signs of compromise long before exchanges credit deposits, and it works across multiple chains supported by the parent service.

Call POST /alert-conditions with type=wallet, asset=BTC, address=<cold-storage>, and a webhook delivery channel for the security incident response stack.

Mempool Fee Strategy

Time outbound Bitcoin transfers to avoid overpaying for confirmation. A Bitcoin mempool alert fires when the recommended fee drops below a target threshold or when the backlog clears, signalling a low-fee window. The same alert framework can also fire when fees spike so a user-facing app can warn customers before they broadcast.

Call POST /alert-conditions with type=mempool, parameter=feeRate, threshold=20, and direction=below to alert when fees become favourable.

AI Agent Crypto Monitoring

An AI agent acting as a portfolio assistant can stand up custom alerts on demand. Through Jentic the agent searches for the right alert-conditions operation, loads its schema, and creates the alert with credentials from the vault. The user gets per-condition control without the agent ever seeing the raw Basic auth credentials.

Search Jentic for 'create a crypto price alert', load the Cryptocurrency Alerting create operation, and execute it with the user's asset, target, and channel.

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Cryptocurrency Alerting Basic auth credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped tokens and never see the underlying username and password.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (for example 'create a crypto price alert' or 'monitor a wallet address') and Jentic returns the matching alert-conditions operation with its input schema.

Time to first call

Direct Cryptocurrency Alerting integration: half a day for auth setup and channel wiring. Through Jentic: under 15 minutes — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using Cryptocurrency Alerting API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Cryptocurrency Alerting API use?

The API uses HTTP Basic authentication with credentials issued from the Cryptocurrency Alerting account dashboard. Through Jentic the credentials are stored in the vault and the agent only receives scoped access tokens.

Can I create wallet monitoring alerts with the Cryptocurrency Alerting API?

Yes. POST /alert-conditions accepts a wallet alert type with an address parameter, and the parent service watches the chain and fires the configured delivery channel when the address sends or receives funds.

What are the rate limits for the Cryptocurrency Alerting API?

The Cryptocurrency Alerting service does not publish a hard request rate limit, but condition counts are capped per plan. Inspect plan limits in the dashboard before creating a large batch of alerts programmatically.

How do I create a price alert through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'create a crypto price alert', load the operation, and execute it against POST /alert-conditions with the asset, target, and configured delivery channel ID. Jentic supplies the Basic auth credentials from the vault.

Is the Cryptocurrency Alerting API free?

There is a free tier with a small monthly alert allowance and paid plans for higher volumes. Pricing is published at https://cryptocurrencyalerting.com/pricing.

How do I pause an alert without deleting it?

Call PATCH /alert-conditions/{id} (or the equivalent update path) with the disabled flag set. The condition stays on the account so it can be re-enabled later without re-entering thresholds.
