loophole tape — pump.fun risk checks from $0.005

Base URL: https://api.loopholetape.com Payment: x402 v2, scheme exact, USDC on Solana mainnet (solana:5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp) or Base (eip155:8453), facilitator https://facilitator.payai.network. Every 402 lists both networks in accepts[]; pay whichever your wallet supports. The facilitator pays the network fee on either chain; a caller needs only USDC. No account or API key required. Version: 0.5.0 (schema 2.0)

Check one mint for $0.005, or up to five caller-selected mints for $0.01 total. Get observed creator exits, early-wallet selling, drains, migration state, concentration and buyer flow in a compact JSON result. Use it before a swap or to monitor a position. Findings carry first-observed times and evidence; no_flags_observed means no documented flags were observed, not that a token is safe.

Free coverage, free watch availability, no charge for unchanged watched events. New paid checks require full live coverage for every mint and feed lag no greater than five seconds. Invalid, unavailable and stale checks are rejected before payment, with eligibility checked again after verification. The existing full card remains $0.025 and the existing free routes remain free.

Start here

1. Choose one to five pump.fun mints from your own workflow. Call GET /v1/check/coverage?mints=MINT1,MINT2 for free to see availability and exact prices. Coverage is also checked automatically by the paid route, so a separate preflight call is optional.
2. Call GET /v1/check/mint/MINT ($0.005) or GET /v1/check/watchlist?mints=MINT1,MINT2 ($0.01 total). A payable request returns the standard x402 402 challenge. Pay once to receive the compact check and a watch cursor.
3. Poll GET /v1/check/watch?mints=MINT1,MINT2&cursor=CURSOR every 15 seconds or slower for free. When data.has_new_events is true, pass the same cursor to the paid check for details and an updated cursor. Passing an unchanged cursor directly to the paid check also returns an unpaid no_new_events result.

Only these events advance a watch cursor: creator_sold, bundle_dumped, curve_drained, pool_drained, curve_closed_low, migrate_below_grad, and curve completion/migration/graduation transitions. Ordinary trades, ages and changing totals do not. Cursors bind to the exact mint set and expire after 24 hours. Calling the free watch without a cursor initializes a baseline; omit the cursor from a paid check when you want the current measurements regardless of new events.

The five-second eligibility limit is measured at result generation, before settlement. Settlement and network transit can add delay. meta.freshness_checked_at and feed_lag_at_generation_s record the eligibility check; result_age_s, feed_lag_s and is_stale are aged when the result is sent, including time spent settling. Compare t with your own clock after receipt; this is not a guarantee of delivery within five seconds.

Pay on Solana or Base

The bundled example buyers pay with USDC on Solana. Any generic x402 v2 client with an EVM signer pays the same prices with USDC on Base: for example @x402/fetch with @x402/evm (viem account) or Python x402[httpx,evm]. Check accepts[] for the eip155:8453 entry; its payTo and asset (native USDC) are fixed and published in /.well-known/x402.

Budgeted buyers: Python and TypeScript

The reference buyers work with HTTP and MCP. They check the recipient, Solana mainnet, USDC, exact scheme, resource, advertised product price and your budget before signing. A state file retains the original signed payment before transmission; timeouts reuse that payment. Neither client loads a wallet for unavailable or unchanged results. Choose a language below and run its setup from the repository root.

Python 3.12+ (Linux/macOS):

cd examples/python
python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install -r requirements-client.txt
.venv/bin/python risk_client.py "$MINTS" --coverage
# The next command authorizes real payments from YOUR funded wallet, within $0.05 total.
TAPE_PAYER_KEYPAIR=/absolute/path/to/payer.json .venv/bin/python risk_client.py "$MINTS" --budget 0.05 --polls 20

TypeScript, Node.js 24+:

cd examples/typescript
npm ci --ignore-scripts
node risk_client.ts "$MINTS" --coverage --state buyer-state-ts.json
TAPE_PAYER_KEYPAIR=/absolute/path/to/payer.json node risk_client.ts "$MINTS" --budget 0.05 --polls 20 --state buyer-state-ts.json

Set MINTS to one mint or a comma-separated list of at most five. Add --transport mcp and use a separate --state file to use the same workflow through MCP. --polls 20 checks once, then makes up to 20 free availability polls at 15-second intervals; it buys an update only when a watched event changes. Omit --polls for a single check. --max-per-call defaults to $0.01 and the single-mint route is capped at $0.005.

Keep each buyer-state*.json file private and use one active process per file. The cumulative budget belongs to that file and counts authorized attempts conservatively, including attempts that did not settle; rerunning does not reset it. A mint-set or transport change requires a separate state file. Both clients stop on an uncertain outcome rather than signing again. TypeScript uses an exclusive .lock file; after an abrupt crash, confirm that its recorded PID has exited before removing only that lock and resuming with the original JSON state. Python releases its process lock automatically.

Exact retries on the same transport and original arguments recover the original result and receipt for ten minutes. Replays carry meta.replayed, meta.result_age_s and aged freshness metadata; they do not contain newly measured data. The optional x402 payment identifier is supported, but an identifier alone cannot retrieve a result. Altering metadata or arguments on an already-used transaction returns a conflict. If you receive payment_outcome_unknown with charged: null, or the retry window has elapsed, reconcile the original transaction before authorizing another payment.

Both examples include pinned dependency files for installation.

What it is

Live pump.fun / PumpSwap analytics derived from public on-chain data. Pay per request in USDC on Solana through x402. See the documented routes for coverage and freshness.

Since v0.3.0 the same service also covers Robinhood Chain (Pons V2 launchpad): launch feed and per-curve structure cards derived from public on-chain activity (raised/progress/price multiple, snipe-tax activity, holder concentration, same-block direct-buy cluster share, direct vs terminal route mix, new-buyer flow, lifecycle).

Robinhood Chain two- and six-second flow counts expire against the response timestamp, even when no new trade arrives. Check meta.is_stale before interpreting zero activity; field definitions explain timestamp and coverage semantics.

Every paid response is self-describing: schema_version, generated_at, coverage, and meta with freshness, source and related resources. The full /v1/mint/{mint} card supports both full live coverage and thin history/on-chain coverage. New compact checks require full coverage; an unavailable mint makes the entire requested batch unpaid. Label semantics: /v1/labels. Seven-day base rates are included in the existing full card.

Discovery for agents

Agent directories can read the A2A agent card at /.well-known/agent-card.json (the /a2a JSON-RPC endpoint answers message/send with the catalog, payment terms and the exact call for a named skill or mint), the MCP server card at /.well-known/mcp-server-card, agents.json flows at /.well-known/agents.json, agents.txt, and the RFC 9727 catalog at /.well-known/api-catalog.

Pay from Python (reference client)

For other routes, use the generic HTTP buyer from examples/python after the Python setup above:

TAPE_PAYER_KEYPAIR=~/.config/solana/payer.json .venv/bin/python pay_client.py https://api.loopholetape.com "/v1/launches/recent?limit=5"

The reference clients register a payment guard: they sign only for this API's recipient, Solana mainnet and USDC, at or under the route's price (cap TAPE_MAX_USD_PER_CALL, default $0.03); anything else is refused. Any x402 v2 client works the same way: call the route, read the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header (the 402 body repeats it as JSON with a how field), sign the USDC transfer, retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE; the PAYMENT-RESPONSE header carries the settlement signature. TypeScript: @x402/fetch + @x402/svm. AgentKit's discover_x402_services finds the routes.

MCP (for agents that call tools)

MCP server over streamable HTTP at https://api.loopholetape.com/mcp (no trailing slash needed; CORS preflight and plain JSON accepted). 17 tools: seven free, ten paid. New tools are check_coverage and watchlist_updates (free), check_pumpfun_risk ($0.005) and check_watchlist_risk ($0.01 total). MCP mint lists are JSON arrays; a single check takes mint. The new paid tools publish typed outputSchema and return the same data as HTTP.

Existing tools: catalog, health, market_regime, sample_mint, rhc_regime (free); mint_risk_card ($0.025), recent_launches ($0.01), recent_rugs, recent_graduations, creator_reputation, wallet_profile, rhc_curve_card ($0.02), and rhc_recent_launches ($0.01).

Paid tools first return an isError payment-required result. Retry with the signed payload in _meta["x402/payment"]; settlement returns in _meta["x402/payment-response"]. Invalid inputs and unavailable compact checks return structured errors without requesting payment. Use the budgeted buyers with --transport mcp. For other tools, use the generic MCP buyer; from examples/python, install its extra dependency with .venv/bin/pip install "mcp<2".
