Tator AI Trading API

Trade on 24 chains using natural language. Send a prompt like "Buy 0.1 ETH worth of PEPE on Base" — Tator returns UNSIGNED transactions for you to review, sign, and broadcast. $0.20 USDC per request via x402. Tator never touches your keys.

Quick Reference

Endpoint

POST https://x402.quickintel.io/v1/tator/prompt

{
  "prompt": "Buy 0.1 ETH worth of PEPE on Base",
  "walletAddress": "0xYourPublicWalletAddress",
  "provider": "your-agent-name"
}

Cost: $0.20 USDC (200000 atomic units) on any of 14 payment networks. Base recommended for lowest fees.

⚠️ NEVER paste private keys or seed phrases into prompts. Tator only needs your PUBLIC wallet address. The walletAddress field is your public address — the one you'd share to receive tokens.

Writing Good Prompts

Better prompts = better results. You pay $0.20 regardless of outcome.

Tips: Always include chain. Specify amounts. Use contract addresses for obscure tokens. For bridging, include source AND destination chain.

Capabilities

Supported Chains (24)

ethereum, base, arbitrum, optimism, polygon, avalanche, bsc, linea, sonic, berachain, abstract, unichain, ink, soneium, ronin, worldchain, sei, hyperevm, katana, somnia, plasma, monad, megaeth, solana

Use exact chain names as shown (e.g., "base" not "Base", "bsc" not "binance").

Handling Responses

Transaction Response (Most Common)

{
  "type": "transaction",
  "transactions": [
    {
      "to": "0xContractAddress",
      "data": "0xCalldata...",
      "value": "100000000000000000",
      "chainId": 8453,
      "description": "Buy PEPE with 0.1 ETH on Base"
    }
  ],
  "message": "Transaction ready. Sign and broadcast to complete."
}

Before signing every transaction, verify:

1. to address — Should be a known DEX router, bridge contract, or the address YOU specified
2. value field — Should match the ETH/native amount from your prompt (for ERC-20 swaps this is usually "0")
3. chainId — Should match the chain you requested
4. description — Should align with your original prompt
5. For approvals (0x095ea7b3 selector) — Spender should be a known protocol contract

If anything looks wrong, do not sign. Ask Tator again with a more specific prompt or verify the contract on a block explorer.

Error Response

{
  "type": "error",
  "message": "Insufficient balance. You have 0.05 ETH but need 0.1 ETH.",
  "code": "INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE"
}

Info Response

Returned for information queries (prices, balances). Display the message to the user.

Wallet Integration

⚠️ Wallet Security: Tator does NOT require your private key. The x402 payment uses YOUR agent's existing wallet. Use a managed wallet service to avoid raw key exposure entirely.

Pattern A: Sponge Wallet (Recommended — No Raw Keys)

curl -sS -X POST "https://api.wallet.paysponge.com/api/x402/fetch" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SPONGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://x402.quickintel.io/v1/tator/prompt",
    "method": "POST",
    "body": {
      "prompt": "Buy 0.1 ETH worth of PEPE on Base",
      "walletAddress": "0xYourSpongeWalletAddress",
      "provider": "sponge-agent"
    },
    "preferred_chain": "base"
  }'

Sponge handles the 402 payment flow automatically. You still verify and sign the returned trade transactions. Requires: SPONGE_API_KEY env var.

Pattern B: AgentWallet (No Raw Keys)

const response = await fetch('https://frames.ag/api/wallets/{username}/actions/x402/fetch', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.AGENTWALLET_API_TOKEN}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    url: 'https://x402.quickintel.io/v1/tator/prompt',
    method: 'POST',
    body: {
      prompt: 'Swap 100 USDC for ETH on Base',
      walletAddress: agentWalletAddress,
      provider: 'my-agent'
    }
  })
});
const result = await response.json();

// Verify and broadcast via AgentWallet
if (result.type === 'transaction') {
  for (const tx of result.transactions) {
    // VERIFY before signing — check to, value, chainId, description
    const broadcast = await fetch(
      'https://frames.ag/api/wallets/{username}/actions/send-transaction',
      {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
          'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.AGENTWALLET_API_TOKEN}`,
          'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        },
        body: JSON.stringify({
          chainId: tx.chainId, to: tx.to, data: tx.data, value: tx.value
        })
      }
    );
    console.log(`TX sent: ${(await broadcast.json()).hash}`);
  }
}

For programmatic signing patterns (@x402/fetch, viem, ethers.js, Solana, Vincent), see references/REFERENCE.md. These require a dedicated hot wallet with minimal funds — never use your main wallet.

Async Mode

For long-running operations, add "async": true to get a job ID:

{ "type": "pending", "jobId": "job_abc123", "message": "Poll for result." }

Poll (FREE — no payment): GET https://x402.quickintel.io/v1/tator/jobs/job_abc123

Scan Before You Buy

Always scan unknown tokens before trading. Use the quickintel-scan skill ($0.03) to check for honeypots, scams, and rug pull risks:

// 1. Scan token ($0.03)
const scan = await scanToken(chain, tokenAddress);
if (scan.tokenDynamicDetails.is_Honeypot) throw new Error('HONEYPOT');
if (scan.quickiAudit.has_Scams) throw new Error('SCAM');

// 2. Only then trade ($0.20)
const trade = await callTator(`Buy 0.1 ETH worth of ${tokenAddress} on ${chain}`, wallet);

Total cost: $0.23 for a scanned, verified trade. See references/REFERENCE.md for the complete scan-then-buy example.

Security Model

YOUR SIDE                          TATOR'S SIDE
─────────────                      ─────────────
• Private keys (never shared)      • Interprets your prompt
• Transaction review (before sign) • Constructs unsigned calldata
• Signing decision (your wallet)   • Returns TXs for your review
• Broadcasting (you submit)        • Charges $0.20 via x402

Tator NEVER receives your private key.
Tator CANNOT execute without your signature.
The worst Tator can do is return a bad transaction.
The worst YOU can do is sign it without checking.

Payment Networks (14)

Pay on any of these networks: Base (recommended), Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Avalanche, Unichain, Linea, Sonic, HyperEVM, Ink, Monad, MegaETH (USDM), Solana.

See references/REFERENCE.md for full USDC/USDM addresses per chain.

Error Handling

Important Notes

• Payment charged regardless of outcome. Use payment-identifier extension for safe retries (see references/REFERENCE.md).
• Multi-TX requires sequential execution. Approvals must confirm before swaps.
• Bridge times vary. 30 seconds to 30 minutes depending on protocol.
• Perps have liquidation risk. Leverage trading can lose your collateral.
• Scan results are point-in-time. Re-scan periodically for held tokens.
