# Market Intelligence API – Token DEX Trade Flow Intelligence

> Market Intelligence API – Token DEX Trade Flow Intelligence is a paid API for AI agents from api.marketintelligenceapi.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-10).

Returns live on-chain DEX trade flow analytics for a given token contract address (Base, Arbitrum, or Optimism), including buy/sell volumes, price change, trader concentration, and a market verdict for the last hour.

## 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-token-dex-trade-flow-intelligence-6c5e973e
```

Example prompt: What's the live on-chain trade flow for token contract 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006 on Base — is it being accumulated or distributed right now, and what's the buy pressure?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, on-chain DEX trade signal data for a specific token on Base, Arbitrum, or Optimism — particularly when you want a structured verdict (ACCUMULATION, DISTRIBUTION, BALANCED, ILLIQUID_OR_INACTIVE) rather than raw price feeds. It is ideal for pre-trade due diligence, detecting whale activity or trader concentration, and assessing whether a token is liquid enough to trade. It is not suitable for off-chain CEX price data, historical data beyond one hour, or token networks outside Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent contract address returns an error or empty result
- Unsupported chain value (not base, arbitrum, or optimism) returns a validation error
- Token with no trades in the last hour returns ILLIQUID_OR_INACTIVE verdict
- Rate limiting if too many unique addresses are queried rapidly; requests within 45s share a cached read
- Network or RPC read failure may cause transient errors

## How this service works

Token trade flow and DEX volume by contract address (Base by default; chain=ethereum, arbitrum, optimism or polygon): last-hour swaps, buy and sell volume in USD, buy pressure, price change, largest trade, trader concentration and a verdict (ACCUMULATION, DISTRIBUTION, BALANCED, ILLIQUID_OR_INACTIVE). Read live from the chain; repeat requests within 45 s share one read.

## Output

A JSON object containing: number of swaps, buy and sell volume in USD, buy pressure ratio, percentage price change, size of the largest trade, trader concentration metric, supported chain, and a categorical market verdict (ACCUMULATION, DISTRIBUTION, BALANCED, or ILLIQUID_OR_INACTIVE) for the past hour of on-chain DEX activity.
