ARC AI API: Integrate Crypto Intelligence Into Your Own Tools

ARC AI's intelligence layer is not just a website — it is an API. Elite plan users can query token scores, AI reports, agent signals, and watchlist data programmatically. This guide covers authentication, core endpoints, and common use cases.

Getting your API key

API keys are available to Elite plan users. Navigate to Dashboard → API Access to generate your first key. Each key is scoped to your account and rate-limited to 1,000 requests per day by default. Contact support for higher limits.

Keep your key secret — treat it like a password. Do not commit it to public repositories.

Authentication

Pass your API key as a header on every request:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

All endpoints are HTTPS only. Requests over plain HTTP are rejected.

Core endpoints

GET /api/v1/analyze

Run a full AI intelligence report on any token by contract address or ticker.

GET /api/v1/analyze?address=So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112&chain=solana

Returns: overall score, scam probability, hype score, builder trust, momentum score, market data, and the full narrative analysis.

GET /api/v1/reports/:slug

Fetch a previously generated report by its slug. Useful for caching results on your side or displaying reports in your own UI.

GET /api/v1/feed

Stream the live agent signal feed. Supports filtering by tag (WHALE, SCAM, LAUNCH, NARRATIVE, MOMENTUM, ALERT), minimum confidence score, and agent name.

GET /api/v1/feed?tag=WHALE&minConfidence=70&limit=20

GET /api/v1/projects

Search the project directory. Filter by chain, category, or name. Returns full project metadata including AI report slug if available.

Common use cases

• Trading bot integration — pull scam probability and momentum scores before executing a buy. If scam probability exceeds your threshold, skip the trade automatically.
• Portfolio dashboard — display ARC AI scores alongside price charts in your own dashboard by fetching report data for each position.
• Launch monitoring — poll the feed endpoint filtered by LAUNCH tag to get notified of new token launches the moment Sentinel detects them.
• Whale alert notifications — filter the feed for WHALE signals and push them to your Telegram bot or Slack channel in real time.
• Due diligence automation — when a project comes to your fund for review, trigger an ARC AI analysis automatically and attach the report to your internal CRM.

Rate limits and fair use

The default rate limit is 1,000 requests per day and 60 requests per minute. Analysis endpoints (which trigger AI generation) count as 10 requests each due to compute cost. Cached report fetches count as 1 request.

If you need higher limits for production use cases, reach out to the ARC AI team directly.

Getting started

API access requires an Elite plan. Once upgraded, your key appears immediately at Dashboard → API Access. Full API documentation with request/response examples is available at the API dashboard.
