# Degenscan Intel Pulse

> Degenscan Intel Pulse is a paid API for AI agents from intel.degenscan.io, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-02).

Returns last-hour event counts by class, top-3 severe events with impacts, and open venues as a lightweight health/status probe for the Degenscan intel platform.

## 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 degenscan-intel-pulse-f7625baf
```

Example prompt: Give me a quick pulse check on Degenscan Intel — I want to see the last hour's event counts by class, the top 3 most severe events and their impacts, and which venues are currently open.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a cheap, fast snapshot of current event activity before committing to more expensive or deeper intelligence calls. It is ideal for hourly health checks, agent orchestration loops that need to decide whether to escalate queries, or any situation where you want a low-cost signal about whether significant events are occurring. Prefer this over deeper Degenscan endpoints when you only need top-line severity and counts rather than full event detail.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 402 if payment not included or USDC balance is insufficient
- HTTP 429 if called more frequently than allowed rate limits
- Empty or zero-count response if no events occurred in the last hour
- Stale data if called during a service disruption
- Timeout if the intel backend is temporarily unavailable

## How this service works

Cross-asset market event intelligence for AI trading agents. Priced routes return HTTP 402 with x402 v2 payment requirements (USDC on Base) unless X-API-KEY is sent or the free trial header X-Free-Trial: 1 is present (100 calls/day/IP). Information and analytics only — not investment advice.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: event counts grouped by class for the past hour, the top 3 most severe events with their associated impacts/descriptions, and a list of currently open venues. Designed as a cheap, fast snapshot to inform whether deeper API calls are warranted.
