Financial Intelligence API

Kronos provides a JSON API for multi-asset financial forecasts. Every endpoint is accessible via x402 micropayments — no API keys, no signup, no subscriptions. Pay per request with USDC on Solana or Base.

Quick start

curl -H "X-PAYMENT: <x402-payment-header>" \

How does authentication work?

No API keys. All paid endpoints use x402 — the HTTP 402 status code. The client sends a USDC payment in the X-PAYMENT header, the server verifies the on-chain transfer, and returns the data. Free endpoints require no payment.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use the crypto prediction API without an API key?
Kronos uses x402 micropayments instead of API keys. Send a request to any paid endpoint, receive a 402 Payment Required response with payment instructions, then retry with a USDC payment proof in the X-PAYMENT header. No signup, no dashboard, no key rotation.
What assets does the Kronos financial intelligence API support?
Crypto (BTC, ETH, SOL, and 50+ altcoins), commodities (gold, silver, oil), forex, and pre-market equities. The /predict endpoint also supports on-demand discovery for any valid Gate.io symbol. See the models page for the full list.
How much does the crypto forecast API cost?
Prices range from $0.001 to $0.05 per request, paid in USDC on Solana or Base. The core /predict endpoint is $0.01 per timeframe, capped at $0.04 for all 5. See pricing for the full table.
Can AI agents autonomously call the Kronos API?
Yes. x402 is designed for autonomous agents — the payment is the auth. Agents fetch skill.md for instructions, handle the 402 handshake via @x402/fetch or @x402/axios, and pay per request with USDC. No human in the loop.
Is there a free crypto prediction API?
Several endpoints are free: the catalog, risk state, accuracy preview, and benchmark preview. Paid endpoints start at $0.001 per call. There are no subscriptions or monthly fees — pay only for what you use via x402.
