# APEX Honeypot-Safe Trade Quote

> APEX Honeypot-Safe Trade Quote is a paid API for AI agents from apexfaucet.xyz, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-19).

Simulates a full buy-then-sell round trip for a token on Arc, X1, or BNB Chain to detect honeypots and estimate slippage, returning unsigned transactions only if the trade is safe.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability apex-honeypot-safe-trade-quote-d111e6da
```

Example prompt: Before I buy 50 USDC worth of token 0xABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF12 on Arc, simulate the full round trip and check it's not a honeypot — use my wallet 0xMyWallet and don't allow more than 10% round-trip loss.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a trading bot or agent needs to verify token safety AND get ready-to-sign transactions in a single call, especially for unfamiliar or newly launched tokens on Arc, X1, or BNB Chain. It is superior to a plain swap quote when you cannot afford to buy a token you cannot sell. Prefer it over a standalone honeypot check when you also need the unsigned transaction output for immediate execution. The built-in maxLossPct guard makes it ideal for automated bots that need hard slippage limits enforced before any transaction is constructed.

## Known failure modes

- Token is a honeypot — sell simulation fails; returns refusal with reason
- Round-trip loss exceeds maxLossPct — returns refusal with calculated loss percentage
- Invalid chain value (not arc, x1, or bnb) — validation error
- Invalid token address format — pattern mismatch error
- Amount is zero or non-numeric — validation error
- maxLossPct exceeds 15 — capped or rejected by server
- Pool has insufficient liquidity — simulation fails with liquidity error
- Network or RPC error on target chain — upstream timeout or error

## How this service works

Free APEX on X1, and free USDC plus APEX on Arc, three times a day. No gas, no sign-up. Plus a swap, a screener, APEX City and token checks.

## Output

Returns the real liquidity pool address, expected output tokens, minimum output (after slippage), and UNSIGNED buy and sell transactions ready for the caller's wallet to sign — but only if the simulated round trip succeeds and the total loss is within maxLossPct. If the token is a honeypot or the loss exceeds the threshold, returns a refusal with a plain-language reason explaining why the trade was blocked.
