Historical OHLCV candles for any token -- daily, 4h, 1h intervals. CoinGecko + GeckoTerminal powered. Pay-per-call via x402 (USDC on Base L2) -- no API key, no signup, no rate-limit wall.
Part of the klymax402 marketplace -- 100 x402 micropayment APIs for AI agents, one wallet, USDC on Base.
Quickstart -- MCP
Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ElizaOS, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"token-ohlcv": {
"url": "https://token-ohlcv.api.klymax402.com/mcp"
}
}
}
Quickstart -- HTTP (x402)
curl "https://token-ohlcv.api.klymax402.com/api/candles"
# -> 402 Payment Required, with an x402 payment challenge in the response body
Any x402-aware client (@x402/fetch, x402-agent-tools, ATXP) handles the 402 -> sign -> retry cycle automatically.
