# Iturri > Verified crypto market data for AI trading agents and trading bots: > minute-level candles since 2015, same-day funding, 5-minute open interest, > long/short positioning and order flow — plus a US-equities EOD + SEC EDGAR > layer. Every candle traceable to a checksummed primary source; every bar > carries a per-bar quality flag (verified / raw / reconciled / interpolated / > disputed / outage). Datasets, feature matrices, leakage-safe training packs, > HTTP API and native MCP tools with x402 per-call micropayments. Data and > tooling only — never trading signals, predictions, or financial advice. Coverage: 208 symbols, 380M+ bars. Crypto (102): 1m/5m/15m/1h/1d OHLCV since 2015, verified against SHA-256-checksummed exchange archives and cross-checked bar-by-bar against a second venue (BTC: 87,643 bars, 100.00% agreement). Stocks & ETFs (106): official consolidated-tape EOD since 2016, shipped in both as-traded and split-adjusted bases — delisting-aware: 20 delisted large-caps (TWTR, SIVB, FRC, ATVI…) kept through their final print, flagged and frozen, so backtests see the companies that died, not just the survivors. Derivatives context (funding rates, open interest, liquidation-tagged fills, L1+depth order book) recorded continuously from multiple venues. ## API (free preview, priced data) - Free to try, no wallet: catalog + a short-range preview of any endpoint (25 calls/day per IP) + validate_backtest_data (audit our data quality before buying, always free). Then pay per call or subscribe. - Free daily docs, no cap: /api/pulse (yesterday's regime flips, funding + CEX-vs-DEX spread extremes, biggest moves), /api/whats_new (what the daily refresh changed), /api/quality (30 days of fresh-data audit receipts vs an independent venue — failures included). - LAUNCH: insider data (SEC Form 4, /api/insider + get_insider) is FREE through 2026-08-15. - Free verdict tools (20 calls/day per IP): POST /api/audit (submit YOUR OHLCV bars, get an accuracy score vs the verified archive + where your data needs fixing), POST /api/lookahead (execution-feasibility check of backtest signals: impossible fills, lookahead bias), POST /api/survivorship (universe check against the delisted shelf). Verdicts are free; corrected data is the product. Today's regime label (get_regime_label, recent timestamps) is also free. - Catalog (free): https://iturri.ai/api/catalog - Bars: /api/bars?symbol=BTC&tf=1h&start=2024-01-01&end=2024-02-01 - Features: /api/features?symbol=SPY&tf=1d_split - OpenAPI spec: https://iturri.ai/openapi.json ## MCP (for agents) - Endpoint: https://iturri.ai/mcp (streamable HTTP) - Tools (22): describe_catalog (free), audit_my_data (free), lookahead_check (free), survivorship_check (free), get_market_pulse (free), get_whats_new (free), get_quality_receipts (free), get_bars (1m/5m/15m/1h/1d), get_features, get_funding, get_open_interest (1h or archive-native 5m), get_long_short (5m positioning ratios: top-trader + global long/short, taker volume, 2020-09+), get_orderflow, get_context, get_events, get_regime_label, validate_backtest_data, get_fundamentals (point-in-time SEC XBRL, 80 filers), get_insider (Form 4 since 2016), get_institutional (quarterly 13F aggregates), get_funding_spread (CEX-vs-DEX hourly, 67 symbols), build_bundle (training packs + per-symbol BSQ token sequences) - Pricing: $0.001 per 1,000 candles · features $0.01 · funding/OI/long-short/ orderflow $0.005 · fundamentals/insider/13F $0.01 · funding spread $0.005 · events $0.01 · token sequences $18/symbol · training packs $59 · minimum $0.01 per paid call (empty results free) - Per-symbol SKUs via build_bundle / POST /api/bundle: dataset (crypto $14, equity $5), MTF aligned bundle $9, feature matrix (crypto $7, equity $4) - Everything bundle $149: both training packs + all token sequences ($730 list) — build_bundle {"pack":"everything"} - Payments: x402 (USDC on Base) — agents pay per call autonomously, or POST /api/subscribe (monthly $39 / annual $349) for a bearer token that covers metered calls ## Payments (x402, USDC on Base — no account, no API key) - Per-call: any priced endpoint returns HTTP 402 with an x402 v2 challenge (PAYMENT-REQUIRED header); pay with any x402 client (@x402/fetch) and retry. MCP tools follow the x402 MCP transport (_meta["x402/payment"]). - Subscription: POST /api/subscribe {"plan":"monthly"|"annual"} ($39/$349, paid via the same x402 flow) returns a bearer token. Send it as 'Authorization: Bearer ' on /api/* and /mcp — metered calls become free. Training-pack SKUs (build_bundle) stay pay-per-sale. - Check a token: GET /api/subscription with the Authorization header. - Humans: https://iturri.ai/subscribe — browser checkout, one MetaMask signature (EIP-3009), token delivered on the page. - Human store for one-off SKUs: https://iturri.ai/store — wallet signature or manual USDC transfer, signed download links delivered on payment. ## Docs - Full expanded version of this file: https://iturri.ai/llms-full.txt - Build roadmap (how a trading bot gets built, where the data fits): https://iturri.ai/build - FAQ: https://iturri.ai/#faq - Site: https://iturri.ai/ - Sourcing & verification policy: https://iturri.ai/sourcing - Python SDK: pip installable; JS SDK + CLI: npm installable (see site quickstart) ## Field notes (blog): https://iturri.ai/blog/ - The websocket that ponged for 19 hours and said nothing: https://iturri.ai/blog/websocket-ponged-19-hours-said-nothing - What Kronos actually sees: tokenizing verified candles: https://iturri.ai/blog/what-kronos-sees-bsq-tokenized-candles - One stuck client, 277,000 requests: why your MCP server must 405 a GET: https://iturri.ai/blog/mcp-streamable-http-get-405 - Kronos in production: what happens when the candles stop arriving: https://iturri.ai/blog/kronos-in-production-missing-candles - Our first paying customer was an AI agent with $3 in its wallet: https://iturri.ai/blog/first-paying-customer-was-an-agent - Backtesting Kronos forecasts without fooling yourself: https://iturri.ai/blog/backtesting-kronos-forecasts - Your AI agent can now buy its own market data — no API key, no human: https://iturri.ai/blog/agent-pays-for-its-own-data-x402 - Best crypto MCP servers for AI trading agents (2026): https://iturri.ai/blog/best-crypto-mcp-servers-trading-agents - When verification says no: why we withheld two years of BONK: https://iturri.ai/blog/when-verification-says-no - We added the dead companies your backtest never sees: https://iturri.ai/blog/we-added-the-dead-companies - We audited 124 million candles — here's what we found: https://iturri.ai/blog/we-audited-124-million-candles - A market-data API your AI agent can pay for itself: https://iturri.ai/blog/market-data-api-for-ai-agents - Iturri vs Alpha Vantage vs Twelve Data: which market data API for your bot?: https://iturri.ai/blog/iturri-vs-alpha-vantage-vs-twelve-data - How to connect a trading data API to Claude via MCP: https://iturri.ai/blog/connect-trading-data-to-claude-mcp - Five checks your backtest data must pass (most free data fails #3): https://iturri.ai/blog/check-backtest-data-before-you-trust-it - Do time-series foundation models work on markets?
