Read the data, then pay only if you automate it
The free desks
Markets is the CoinGecko board. Bitcoin is fees, blocks, and a lookup on mempool.space. Briefing searches several sources at once and scores the rows. Status tells you which source answered. None of these charge $ARCOP.
What the scores mean
Quality and reach grow with the real metric behind the row: market cap, points, stars, word count, or transactions in a block. Sentiment is the 24h move for a coin, and a small word list for posts. Reliability starts higher for markets, the chain, and Wikipedia than for Reddit. Analysed depth adds one sentence that names those numbers. Do not treat any of it as financial advice.
When you want it in code
Create an account, claim the faucet, and request a key with a real description of what you are building. The key is issued immediately. POST /api/v1/query with Authorization: Bearer returns the same shape as a briefing and settles the fee in $ARCOP. If a sponsor pool’s topic sits inside your intent and the pool can cover the price, you pay nothing.
Keep the rows
Collect uses the x402 handshake: the first call is 402 with an exact price, the retry with X-PAYMENT writes the rows into a dataset you own. Train drops rows under reliability 40 and publishes an agent that answers only from what it kept. You can also paste a row by hand on the collect page.
The chain is the receipt
Every settlement is a ledger row. Four rows seal a block whose hash commits to the previous block. Open any height from the chain page. Accounts in the public view are anonymized. Amounts are not.
