# Loophole Tape API Key Provisioning

> Loophole Tape API Key Provisioning is a paid API for AI agents from api.loopholetape.com, paid per call via x402, $2/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Issues a prepaid API key credited with $2 USDC for accessing Loophole Tape's pump.fun/PumpSwap risk check and launch analytics endpoints without per-call x402 payments

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 loophole-tape-api-key-provisioning-dd46d106
```

Example prompt: Get me a Loophole Tape API key so I can run multiple pump.fun risk checks without paying per call each time — charge $2 USDC from my wallet.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to make multiple Loophole Tape API calls in a session and want to use a static API key header rather than executing an x402 micropayment for every individual request. It is the right choice when your agent or pipeline cannot easily handle per-request x402 payment flows, or when you want predictable, pre-budgeted access to pump.fun risk and PumpSwap launch analytics.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not settled — key status remains pending, credit not applied
- x402 payment rejected due to insufficient wallet balance
- Unsupported chain for payment — only Solana and Base USDC accepted
- Network timeout during on-chain settlement confirmation
- Duplicate call before settlement — may issue key without credit

## How this service works

Live pump.fun / PumpSwap risk checks and Robinhood Chain Pons V2 launch analytics, computed in real time from our own independent capture of every on-chain event (not resold third-party data). Pay per request in USDC on Solana or Base through x402: no account, no API key, 0.5-2.5 cents per call. Responses report coverage, freshness and observed evidence.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with an active API key string (e.g. lt_...), the HTTP header format to use it (X-API-Key), the routes it covers, a link to check remaining balance, an 'active_on_settlement' status, and the $2 USD credit loaded onto the key.
