Quickstart

Manage keys in Your keys above, or register by API. Each key is shown once.

# 1. Register (email in, checkout link out) curl -X POST https://coinlobster.com/api/ai/v1/register \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"email":"[email protected]","pack":"starter"}' # or subscribe: swap the body for {"email":"[email protected]","tier":"starter"}
# 2. Call an endpoint with your key curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \ "https://coinlobster.com/api/ai/v1/whales/tape?coin=BTC&limit=100"
# ...or in Python (pip install requests) import requests r = requests.get( "https://coinlobster.com/api/ai/v1/whales/tape", headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"}, params={"coin": "BTC", "limit": 100}, ) print(r.json())

MCP (Model Context Protocol)

No key needed. Point any MCP client at the URL below for 21 tools, including alerts your AI can arm on a paid plan. On a paid plan, tool calls draw on the same credit balance as REST, 20 to 100 credits each. Free plans, discovery and failed calls cost nothing.

Signing in is free and makes answers live instead of 30 minutes old. Full depth comes with any paid plan. Setup for each client: coinlobster.com/connect.

FAQ

What's in the whale feed?
/whales/tape merges exchange and on-chain whale trades at full Pro depth: no delay, no $1M floor. It holds about 7 days. Exchange rows go back to 2026-07-13; on-chain rows cover a rolling 48 hours.
What is the signal log?
Every signal we send (whale spike · funding extreme · squeeze flip · liquidation cascade · flow divergence · single-trade & percentile) is logged when it is sent, with price and size. Outcomes are added when measured and never recomputed. Recording started 2026-07-13.
Can I use the data commercially?
Yes, for your own internal or product use, on every paid plan. Reselling raw rows to third parties needs Alpha. Each REST call is ~10 to 50 credits, so a plan is a few thousand to tens of thousands of calls. Plans: Starter ($9/mo, 20K credits), Pro ($29/mo, 100K credits), Alpha ($99/mo, 500K credits).
What happens when my credits run out?
Plan credits refill on your billing date; unused allowance does not roll over, but purchased credit packs never expire. If you run out mid-cycle, top up with any credit pack (POST /api/ai/v1/credits/purchase) or upgrade. Requests return a 402 with your balance, never a surprise charge.
How is my key handled?
After payment, poll the register/status endpoint: your raw key shows exactly once, then only masked. Store it securely. Lost it? Revoke it in Your keys and create a new one.
