# Nansen Flow Intelligence

> Nansen Flow Intelligence is a paid API for AI agents from Nansen at api.nansen.ai, paid per call via MPP, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-10).

Returns token flow analytics (inflows, outflows, net flows) broken down by holder segments—Whales, Smart Traders, Exchanges, Top PnL, and Public Figures—with trend and accumulation/distribution signals.

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 nansen-flow-intelligence-5dbc00f4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Show me the flow intelligence for the PEPE token on Ethereum — I want to see whether whales and smart traders are net buying or selling, and what the exchange flows look like.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need segmented on-chain flow data for a specific token, particularly to distinguish behavior by holder type (whales vs smart money vs exchanges). It is the best choice over generic holder or transaction endpoints when you want accumulation/distribution intelligence across named wallet categories with USD-denominated flow metrics.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (chain or token_address) returns 422 validation error
- Unsupported chain value returns enum validation error
- Token address not found on specified chain returns empty data array
- Invalid numeric range filter (min > max) returns validation error
- Rate limit exceeded returns 429 error
- Authentication failure returns 401 unauthorized

## How this service works

This endpoint provides comprehensive flow intelligence analytics, including inflows, outflows, and net flows for a specific token, broken down by various holder segments (Exchanges, Smart Money, Public Figures, Whales) with time-based statistics and trends. It can be used for identifying accumulation/distribution patterns across different holder segments.

## Output

An array of flow intelligence records per token, each containing net flow USD, average flow USD, and wallet counts for up to six holder segments: Whales, Smart Traders, Exchanges, Top PnL wallets, Public Figures, and New Wallets. Includes time-windowed statistics useful for detecting accumulation or distribution trends.
