The crypto market moves fast, and staying ahead requires more than just watching charts — it takes actionable data, delivered in real‑time. That’s why we’re excited to announce a major upgrade for developers, traders, and analysts: the Moonshots feature is now live as a Token Metrics API endpoint.

This new endpoint brings the same powerful insights from our Premium Moonshots dashboard directly into your apps, dashboards, and trading systems — programmatically. Whether you’re building a crypto trading bot, creating dynamic watchlists, or backtesting new strategies, the Moonshots API gives you everything you need to make smarter, faster decisions.

What Are Moonshots?

In crypto, “moonshots” are low‑cap tokens with high upside potential — the kind of high‑risk, high‑reward plays that can deliver outsized returns when identified early. At Token Metrics, our Moonshots aren’t just random picks.

They are:

• Hand‑picked by AI: Our proprietary algorithms scan thousands of tokens daily.
  
• Backtested for performance: Only tokens that meet strict historical success criteria make the cut.
  
• Continuously updated: Live insights reflect evolving market conditions in real time.
  

Since launch, Moonshots have surfaced 43 tokens with a 65 % win rate across trades. The max single‑token return so far? 68 % — and counting.

For developers, this is no longer just data you view in our dashboard. It’s now available via API, ready to integrate into your workflows.

Why Use the Token Metrics Moonshots API?

1. Programmatic Access to High‑Potential Trades
Get direct access to live Moonshot signals without needing to log into the platform. Perfect for apps, analytics dashboards, or automated trading systems.

2. Build Smarter Watchlists
Automatically populate your app or dashboard with AI‑curated, high‑potential tokens.

3. Trigger Bots in Real Time
Integrate the Moonshots feed into your trading bots so they can act instantly when a new token surfaces.

What’s in the API Response?

When you call the /v2/moonshot-tokens endpoint, you’ll get:

• Token name & ticker – For easy identification.
  
• Return on Investment (ROI) – Performance since the signal went live.
  
• Trader Grade – Token Metrics’ proprietary grade indicating trade potential.
  
• Market Cap – So you can quickly gauge token size and liquidity.
  
• Signal Date – When the Moonshot was flagged.
  

Want to see how these signals have performed over time? Use /v2/moonshots-tokens with type=past param for detailed past performance data.
