# Market Intelligence API – Opportunities Scanner > Market Intelligence API – Opportunities Scanner is a paid API for AI agents from api.marketintelligenceapi.com, paid per call via x402, $0.03/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-10). Scans across crypto and tokenized US stock assets to surface ranked trading opportunities based on on-chain buy/sell pressure, momentum, and volume anomalies within a configurable time window. ## Facts - Endpoint: GET https://api.marketintelligenceapi.com/api/v1/agent/opportunities?utm_source=zero.xyz - Price: $0.03/call - Payment: x402 - Status: unknown - Last checked: 2026-10-10 - Activations on Zero: 0 - Tags: x402 - Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/market-intelligence-api-opportunities-scanner-2a87d948 - Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_0bRIpAy2RnV6N3qG5Hwww 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 market-intelligence-api-opportunities-scanner-2a87d948 ``` Example prompt: Scan the market right now and show me the top-ranked assets with unusual buying activity — I want to see buy pressure, momentum scores, and any risk factors like upcoming macro events, focusing on crypto over a 15-minute window. ## When to prefer this Use this endpoint when an agent needs a broad market scan to discover which assets are worth investigating right now, rather than analyzing a specific known symbol. It is the right choice when the user's question is open-ended ('what should I trade?', 'what is moving?') rather than symbol-specific. Prefer this over the pre-trade or candles endpoints when no specific ticker has been chosen yet. It is especially valuable for systematic screening workflows that feed into downstream pre-trade checks. ## Known failure modes - No opportunities match the objective and filter thresholds — results array is empty with filteredOut counts explaining why - Stale data if signal age exceeds acceptable freshness — check signalAgeSeconds in dataQuality - Low organicSharePercent may indicate wash trading or low-quality signal pools - Insufficient pool coverage — freshPools count is low, reducing signal reliability - Payment not processed or x402 authentication failure returns 402 error - Invalid objective or parameter values return 4xx validation error ## How this service works Pay-per-call market intelligence for AI agents across crypto, US and European stocks, rates and FX: on-chain buy/sell pressure, trading decisions from $0.05, token risk checks on six chains, webhook alerts, pre-trade verdicts, technicals, perps funding, smart money, SEC and ESEF fundamentals, insider trades, European short interest, ECB rates and FX, datasets and news. ## Output A ranked list of assets (crypto or tokenized stocks) matching the specified objective, each with a score, direction (BULLISH/BEARISH), signal type, buy pressure percentage, momentum score, volume multiple, confidence score, confirming and conflicting evidence sources, risk factors (e.g. macro events), signal track record hit rate, and a link to a pre-trade check endpoint for follow-up. Also includes overall market context (regime, session) and metadata about how many symbols were scanned and filtered out. ## Request schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "object", "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "required": [ "input", "output" ], "properties": { "input": { "type": "object", "required": [ "type", "method" ], "properties": { "type": { "type": "string", "const": "http" }, "method": { "enum": [ "GET" ], "type": "string" }, "queryParams": { "type": "object", "properties": { "window": { "enum": [ "1m", "5m", "15m" ], "type": "string", "description": "Aggregation window of the signal: 1m, 5m or 15m" }, "include": { "type": "string", "description": "Comma-separated: metrics, evidence, risk_factors, data_quality, track_record, market_context (default all)" }, "universe": { "type": "string", "description": "Comma-separated symbols (max 100); omit for all covered symbols" }, "objective": { "enum": [ "unusual_buying", "unusual_selling", "breakout", "breakdown", "crowded_positioning", "smart_money_accumulation", "smart_money_distribution" ], "type": "string", "description": "What to look for" }, "assetClass": { "enum": [ "crypto", "us_equity", "perp_only" ], "type": "string", "description": "Asset class filter: crypto, us_equity or perp_only" }, "maxResults": { "type": "integer", "maximum": 50, "minimum": 1, "description": "Maximum number of ranked results (1-50)" }, "minVolumeUsd": { "type": "number", "description": "USD traded in the window" }, "minConfidence": { "type": "number", "maximum": 100, "minimum": 0, "description": "Minimum signal confidence (0-100)" }, "minBuyPressure": { "type": "number", "maximum": 100, "minimum": 50, "description": "Pressure on the objective's side (sell pressure for selling objectives)" }, "minVolumeMultiple": { "type": "number", "description": "Volume vs the symbol's own baseline" }, "minIndependentSources": { "type": "integer", "maximum": 3, "minimum": 1, "description": "Distinct sources confirming the direction" } }, "additionalProperties": false } }, "addit … (truncated) ``` ## Response schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "json", "example": { "asOf": "2026-09-25T11:00:00Z", "window": "15m", "matches": 1, "results": [ { "rank": 1, "price": 2692.07, "score": 78, "signal": "BUYING_ACTIVITY", "symbol": "ETHUSD", "metrics": { "volumeUsd": 3400000, "buyPressure": 72.4, "momentumScore": 66.1, "volumeMultiple": 2.8, "confidenceScore": 96 }, "direction": "BULLISH", "eventType": "BULLISH_ACCUMULATION", "nextCalls": { "preTradeCheck": "/api/v1/intelligence/pre-trade?symbol=ETHUSD&side=buy&window=15m" }, "assetClass": "crypto", "dataQuality": { "freshPools": 28, "signalAgeSeconds": 38, "sourcesAvailable": [ "spot_dex_flow", "perp_positioning", "smart_money" ], "organicSharePercent": 67 }, "riskFactors": [ { "type": "macro_event", "detail": "US CPI in 45 min", "severity": "MEDIUM" } ], "confirmingSources": [ "spot_dex_flow", "smart_money" ], "supportingEvidence": [ { "type": "buy_pressure", "unit": "percent of organic aggressor volume", "detail": "Buy pressure 72.4% over 15m (55+ bullish, 45- bearish)", "source": "spot_dex_flow", "direction": "BULLISH", "observedValue": 72.4 } ], "conflictingEvidence": [], "signalTrackRecord1h": { "signal": "BUYING_ACTIVITY", "evaluated": 145, "hitRatePercent": 71.7, "sufficientSample": true }, "independentSourcesConfirming": 2 } ], "objective": "unusual_buying", "algoVersion": "opportunities-v1-2026-09-25", "filteredOut": { "volume_not_unusual": 15, "buy_pressure_below_minBuyPressure": 88 }, "marketContext": { "regime": "MIXED", "usMarketSession": "REGULAR" }, "symbolsScanned": 104 } } ``` ## More - Live health (JSON, refreshed every minute): https://www.zero.xyz/c/market-intelligence-api-opportunities-scanner-2a87d948/health.json - [Zero catalog index](https://www.zero.xyz/llms.txt) - [Other services from api.marketintelligenceapi.com](https://www.zero.xyz/host/api.marketintelligenceapi.com/llms.txt)
