FREE CORS ENABLED 100K REQUESTS/DAYTerminalFeed runs on the same bearer-token rail as TensorFeed. Mint a token on either site (POST /api/payment/buy-credits then POST /api/payment/confirm) and use it on both. Credits live in one ledger; receipts are signed by each site with its own Ed25519 key. Verify a receipt at /api/receipt/verify. Inspect the public no-charge ledger at /api/payment/no-charge-stats. Site meta at /api/meta.

};Three composed-payload endpoints sit behind Authorization: Bearer tf_live_<64-char-hex>. Designed for agents that want one call instead of fifteen, with the upstream key management and rate-limit juggling absorbed.
| Endpoint | Cost | What it composes |
|---|---|---|
| /api/pro/briefing | 1 credit | BTC + Fear & Greed + earthquakes + HN + ISS + Polymarket. Optional ?include= filter, ?history=24h. |
| /api/pro/macro | 2 credits | FRED (7 series) + forex (4 USD pairs) + commodities (gold, oil, nat gas) + indices (SPY, DIA, QQQ, VIX). ?history=30d. |
| /api/pro/crypto-deep | 2 credits | Top 50 coins + Binance top 20 + mempool.space network + Etherscan gas. ?coins= filter, ?history=30d. |
Pricing: $1 USDC on Base mainnet = 50 credits. No subscription, no monthly minimum, no expiry. All credit purchases are final and non-refundable; credits never expire so unused balance always remains spendable. Credits and bearer tokens are cross-redeemable on tensorfeed.ai (one purchase, both data sources). Full quick-start, wallet, and license details: → /developers/agent-payments.

Best free endpoint: /api/briefing:one call, world snapshot. For richer composition, use the premium /api/pro/briefing with optional history.
100,000 requests per day across all endpoints. Keep individual endpoint calls to a maximum of 1 request per 30 seconds. If you exceed limits, you'll receive a 429 status code. There is no penalty:just back off and retry.
Data is cached server-side at the intervals listed above. Calling more frequently than the cache interval will return the same data, so there's no benefit to polling faster.
