api.dripmetrics.ai · roll-spread

DripMetricsAI (api description at https://dripmetrics.ai/) provides on-demand crypto market microstructure and risk metrics for agents and developers. Agents can pay per request via x402 and receive structured JSON metrics without subscriptions or API keys. Roll Spread estimates an absolute covariance spread proxy derived from lagged price changes. Discovery examples use the latest 30m window.

// npm i x402-fetch viem
import { wrapFetchWithPayment } from "x402-fetch";
import { createWalletClient, http } from "viem";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
import { base } from "viem/chains";

const account = privateKeyToAccount(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY); // funds USDC on Base
const wallet = createWalletClient({ account, chain: base, transport: http() });
const fetchWithPay = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, wallet);

// Pays the $0.05 USDC automatically on the 402, then returns the real response:
const res = await fetchWithPay("https://api.dripmetrics.ai/metrics/roll-spread", { method: "GET" });
console.log(await res.json());

# pip install x402 eth-account httpx
import os, asyncio
from eth_account import Account
from x402.clients.httpx import x402HttpxClient

account = Account.from_key(os.environ["PRIVATE_KEY"])  # funds USDC on Base

async def main():
    async with x402HttpxClient(account=account) as client:
        # x402 handles the 402 -> pay ($0.05 USDC) -> retry automatically
        r = await client.get("https://api.dripmetrics.ai/metrics/roll-spread")
        print((await r.aread()).decode())

# 1) An unpaid request returns HTTP 402 with the exact payment terms:
curl -i "https://api.dripmetrics.ai/metrics/roll-spread?exchange=coinbase&pair=BTC-USD&window=30m"

# 2) Paying + retrying requires an x402 client that can sign the USDC
#    authorization (curl alone cannot). See the JS / Python tabs below.
