The Token Metrics API has officially launched on Hacker News, marking a major milestone in our mission to bring AI-powered crypto insights to every developer, founder, and builder in the Web3 space.

If you're building trading bots, dashboards, investment tools, or AI agents that interact with the crypto market, this is your developer edge in 2025. Forget raw feeds and static charts—this is real-time, AI-grade crypto intelligence available in minutes via a single API key.

🔍 What Is the Token Metrics API?

The Token Metrics API is a powerful crypto intelligence engine built for developers who want more than just price data. It combines machine learning, quantitative modeling, and narrative indexing to deliver structured signals that help users make smarter trading decisions.

Instead of simply showing what the market did, the API helps predict what it might do—with insights like:

• Trader & Investor Grades (0–100 scores on momentum and fundamentals)
• Bullish/Bearish Signals across 6,000+ assets
• Narrative-based Indices like DeFi, AI, Memes, RWAs, and more
• Quantitative Risk Scores and sentiment analysis
• Real-time updates, no lag, no stale metrics

It’s like giving your crypto bot a brain—and not just any brain, an AI-trained crypto analyst that never sleeps.

💡 Why It’s Different from Every Other Crypto API

Most APIs give you prices, volume, and maybe some on-chain data. Token Metrics gives you opinionated intelligence derived from over 80 on-chain, off-chain, technical, and sentiment indicators.

That means:

• Your dashboard users get real-time grades and trending tokens.
• Your AI agent can speak fluently about token fundamentals.
• Your bot can act on bullish flips before the rest of the market.

We’ve designed this API for modularity and plug-and-play usability. With 21+ endpoints and official SDKs, you can ship faster and smarter—no custom pipeline needed.

🔧 What Can You Build?

Whether you're a solo developer or building inside a Web3 team, the possibilities are wide open.

Build smarter with Token Metrics if you’re creating:

• 🧠 AI trading agents that query real-time token grades
• 📊 Investor dashboards that surface top-rated altcoins
• 📈 DApps that alert users to sector momentum shifts
• 📱 Mobile apps with embedded market signals
• 🧪 Backtesting systems for narrative-based portfolio strategies

Because the API supports OpenAI, Claude, Cursor, and Raycast integrations, your agents and LLM-powered tools can query live crypto intelligence in natural language—no additional parsing required.
