How this service works
Pay-per-request datasets for autonomous agents via x402 (USDC). Structured JSON APIs; no API keys — pay on the wire.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing: pulse_id, status ('success'), ready flag, category, interval ('1h'), window_start and window_end timestamps, events_count (integer), events array, harvested flag, and pricing_tier (e.g. 'cache'). The agent can use events_count and events to understand news activity volume within the last hour for the requested category.
Example use cases
Real-time AI news briefing for agent
“Fetch me the current tech_ai news pulse from DataForAgents — I want to know how many events were captured in the last hour and whether the pulse is ready.”
Finance macro monitoring for trading bot
“Get me the latest finance_macro news pulse snapshot so my trading agent can check for any major macro events in the current one-hour window.”
Geopolitical event count for risk dashboard
“Pull the current geopolitics news pulse from DataForAgents and tell me the event count and window timing so I can update my risk monitoring dashboard.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://dataforagents.net/v1/news/pulse/shiftWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when your agent needs structured, pay-per-request hourly news pulse data across four key categories (finance, geopolitics, tech/AI, sports) without managing API keys. Ideal for autonomous agents that need on-demand current-events data billed per call via x402 USDC micropayments, especially when building lightweight news monitors, briefing agents, or event-count trackers that should only pay when they actually fetch data.
Side effects
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC — returns HTTP 402 Payment Required
- Invalid or unsupported category enum value — likely returns 400 Bad Request
- Service temporarily unavailable — returns 5xx with no pulse data
- Pulse not yet ready (ready: false) — response returns but events may be empty
- Rate or quota issues from upstream news harvesting — harvested flag may be false with stale data
