How this service works
Market data for AI agents, paid per-call via x402 (USDC on Base). Free index at /, free spec here.
Output
A JSON object containing a 'vix' array with one entry holding: last (current VIX value), label ('vix'), change_pct (percentage change from previous close), and prev_close (previous day's closing VIX value).
Example use cases
Pre-trade volatility check
“Before I place any options trades today, tell me what the VIX is sitting at and how much it has moved from yesterday's close.”
Market stress monitoring alert
“Check the current VIX level for me — I want to know if implied volatility has spiked significantly compared to the previous close.”
Daily market briefing
“Give me this morning's VIX reading, including the last price and the percentage change from yesterday, so I can gauge overall market risk sentiment.”

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs a lightweight, pay-per-call VIX data point without committing to a subscription, especially in agentic workflows that need real-time market volatility context on demand. Ideal for low-frequency checks where a $0.001 micropayment per call is economical and x402/USDC payments are supported.

- Payment failure via x402 if USDC balance is insufficient — returns 402 Payment Required
- Market data unavailable outside trading hours may return stale or null values
- Malformed request parameters return an error response
- Network timeouts on the Cloudflare Worker may return 503
