🤖 Agent API · HoodSniper Arbitrum

Paper trading only. This API reads the Arbitrum One market and places paper orders on your own account. It cannot move real money, touch a wallet, or change Copilot. Orders go through exactly the same paper engine, limits and checks as the app's own trade buttons; the API adds no extra fee.

0 · Quickstart: 60 seconds, no sign-up sandbox

One POST gives your agent a sandbox account: $1,000 of paper money, a read + trade key, 24 hours. Nothing to install, no wallet. When it expires the account, the key and its trades are deleted. The app's bot never trades a sandbox on its own: only your orders move it. Sandboxes aren't ranked. Limits: 3 a day per network (IPv4 /24, IPv6 /56), and a cap on how many exist at once (you'll get SANDBOX_FULL; sign in for a free permanent account instead).

curl -s -X POST https://arbitrum.46.225.83.168.nip.io/api/agent/v1/sandbox -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name":"my-agent"}'
# → {"key":"hsk_…","expires":"…","paperUsd":1000,"paperOnly":true,…}   (the key is shown once)
export HSK=hsk_…
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $HSK" https://arbitrum.46.225.83.168.nip.io/api/agent/v1/portfolio
curl -s -X POST https://arbitrum.46.225.83.168.nip.io/api/agent/v1/sandbox/reset -H "Authorization: Bearer $HSK"   # start the paper book again (sandbox only)

Python

import requests
BASE = "https://arbitrum.46.225.83.168.nip.io/api/agent/v1"
sb = requests.post(f"{BASE}/sandbox", json={"name": "my-agent"}, timeout=15).json()
H = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + sb["key"]}
tok = requests.get(f"{BASE}/markets", params={"limit": 5}, headers=H, timeout=15).json()["tokens"][0]
print(requests.post(f"{BASE}/orders", headers=H, json={"type": "buy", "token": tok["token"], "usd": 25, "tpPct": 40, "slPct": 15}, timeout=15).json())

JavaScript (Node 18+)

const BASE = "https://arbitrum.46.225.83.168.nip.io/api/agent/v1";
const sb = await (await fetch(BASE + "/sandbox", { method: "POST", headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" }, body: JSON.stringify({ name: "my-agent" }) })).json();
const H = { Authorization: "Bearer " + sb.key, "Content-Type": "application/json" };
const { tokens } = await (await fetch(BASE + "/markets?limit=5", { headers: H })).json();
console.log(await (await fetch(BASE + "/orders", { method: "POST", headers: H, body: JSON.stringify({ type: "buy", token: tokens[0].token, usd: 25, tpPct: 40, slPct: 15 }) })).json());

1 · Get a key

Sign in, open the Trade tab and press 🤖 API keys (top of Your positions), then create a key. Choose read (look only) or read + trade (also place paper orders). The key (hsk_…) is shown once; we keep only a hash of it. You can have 5 keys and revoke any of them.

2 · Call the API (REST)

Base URL https://arbitrum.46.225.83.168.nip.io/api/agent/v1. Send the key as a Bearer token. Limit: 60 requests a minute per account (all your keys together); 30 wrong keys a minute from one address are refused with 429. Every keyed answer carries RateLimit-Limit, RateLimit-Remaining and RateLimit-Reset (seconds until the next request fits; 0 when you have the whole budget), so a bot can pace itself; a 429 has an exact Retry-After. Keys can expire (chosen when created) and are revoked when the password changes. Idempotency-Key replays are per account and only successful orders are remembered (24 h). The site's login cookie is not accepted here.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $HSK" https://arbitrum.46.225.83.168.nip.io/api/agent/v1/markets?limit=20

3 · Orders

Orders are queued; the paper bot fills them within about a minute. Check /portfolio afterwards.

# market buy $25
{"type":"buy","token":"0xTOKEN","usd":25}
# sell half a position
{"type":"sell","pair":"0xPOOL","portion":0.5}
# limit buy: $50 when the price is at or below $0.0012, wait up to a day, with exits
{"type":"limit","token":"0xTOKEN","usd":50,"priceUsd":0.0012,"ttlMin":1440,"tpPct":40,"slPct":15,"trailPct":10}
# set or change exit rules on an open position (send none to clear)
{"type":"exits","pair":"0xPOOL","tpPct":60,"trailPct":12}
# cancel a waiting limit
{"type":"cancel","ref":"LIMIT_ORDER_ID"}

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $HSK" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: my-bot-0001" \
  -d '{"type":"buy","token":"0xTOKEN","usd":25}' https://arbitrum.46.225.83.168.nip.io/api/agent/v1/orders

Retries are safe: send an Idempotency-Key header (8–64 letters, digits, _ . : -). If the same key arrives again with the same body within 24 hours you get the first answer back with "replayed": true and no second order is placed. The same key with a different body is refused with 409.

Rules: take profit 1–10000 %, stop loss 1–99 %, trailing stop 1–90 %, up to 20 waiting limits, limits wait 5 minutes to 7 days.

Order status: GET /orders lists your last 50 orders, newest first, each with a status: queued (not picked up yet), waiting (a resting limit, with expiresAt), filled, failed (a fill was tried and refused, with reason), expired, cancelled, rejected (the engine refused the order, with reason), done (a buy, sell, exits or cancel that went through) or ended (an old limit whose outcome is no longer on record). GET /orders?id=ORDER_ID returns one order; ?status=waiting filters. Filled limits carry fillPriceUsd (the engine reports it to 4 significant figures; priceUsd is your limit). The id is the one POST /orders returned, and it is also in the order.accepted, order.filled, order.expired, order.cancelled and order.failed events.

4 · Copy-paste examples

Set HSK to your key first (export HSK=hsk_…). Every example reads the market, then places a $25 paper buy with a retry-safe Idempotency-Key.

curl

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $HSK" "https://arbitrum.46.225.83.168.nip.io/api/agent/v1/portfolio"
curl -s -X POST "https://arbitrum.46.225.83.168.nip.io/api/agent/v1/orders" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HSK" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: buy-$(date +%s)" \
  -d '{"type":"buy","token":"0xTOKEN","usd":25}'

Python (requests)

import os, uuid, requests
BASE = "https://arbitrum.46.225.83.168.nip.io/api/agent/v1"
H = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["HSK"]}

top = requests.get(f"{BASE}/markets", params={"limit": 5}, headers=H, timeout=15).json()["tokens"]
token = top[0]["token"]
r = requests.post(f"{BASE}/orders", headers={**H, "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4())},
                  json={"type": "buy", "token": token, "usd": 25}, timeout=15)
body = r.json()
if not r.ok:
    print("refused:", body["code"], body["error"])   # branch on body["code"]
else:
    print("queued paper order", body["id"])

JavaScript (Node 18+ or a browser)

const BASE = "https://arbitrum.46.225.83.168.nip.io/api/agent/v1";
const H = { Authorization: "Bearer " + process.env.HSK };

const { tokens } = await (await fetch(BASE + "/markets?limit=5", { headers: H })).json();
const r = await fetch(BASE + "/orders", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { ...H, "Content-Type": "application/json", "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID() },
  body: JSON.stringify({ type: "buy", token: tokens[0].token, usd: 25 }),
});
const body = await r.json();
if (!r.ok) console.log("refused:", body.code, body.error); else console.log("queued paper order", body.id);

CSV of your paper trades

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $HSK" \
  "https://arbitrum.46.225.83.168.nip.io/api/agent/v1/trades?format=csv" -o paper-trades.csv

5 · Errors

Every error is JSON with a stable code (branch on it) and a sentence in error (for people; it may be reworded):

{"error": "Rate limit reached. Wait and retry (see Retry-After).",
 "code": "RATE_LIMITED", "status": 429, "docs": "/docs/agent-api#errors"}

ORDER_REJECTED carries the paper engine's own reason in error (for example "Amount must be at least $1."). 429 answers include a Retry-After header in seconds.

6 · Without a key

GET https://arbitrum.46.225.83.168.nip.io/api/agent/v1/public/markets?limit=20 returns the same token rows as /markets, read-only, no key: 30 requests a minute per IP, cached for 15 seconds. It never shows anyone's account.

7 · MCP (Model Context Protocol)

MCP clients can connect to https://arbitrum.46.225.83.168.nip.io/api/agent/v1/mcp (Streamable HTTP; one JSON-RPC message per POST, JSON answers, no SSE stream, no sessions) with the same Authorization: Bearer hsk_… header. Tools: get_me, get_markets, get_portfolio, get_analytics, get_trades, get_events, get_orders, and, only for a key with the trade scope, place_paper_order. Each tool call runs the same handler as the REST endpoint, so scopes, the 60-a-minute limit, Idempotency-Key and the paper-only engine are identical.

{"mcpServers": {"hoodsniper": {"type": "http", "url": "https://arbitrum.46.225.83.168.nip.io/api/agent/v1/mcp",
  "headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer hsk_YOUR_KEY"}}}}

Python (official mcp SDK 2.x: pip install mcp)

import asyncio, os
import httpx2
from mcp import ClientSession
from mcp.client.streamable_http import streamable_http_client

URL = "https://arbitrum.46.225.83.168.nip.io/api/agent/v1/mcp"

async def main():
    http = httpx2.AsyncClient(headers={"Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["HSK"]}, timeout=30)
    async with http, streamable_http_client(URL, http_client=http) as (read, write):
        async with ClientSession(read, write) as s:
            await s.initialize()
            print([t.name for t in (await s.list_tools()).tools])
            r = await s.call_tool("get_markets", {"limit": 3})
            print(r.content[0].text)
            # needs a read + trade key:
            # await s.call_tool("place_paper_order", {"type": "buy", "token": "0xTOKEN", "usd": 25})

asyncio.run(main())

On mcp 1.x use from mcp.client.streamable_http import streamablehttp_client and async with streamablehttp_client(URL, headers={"Authorization": "Bearer …"}) as (read, write, _):. Both were tested against this server (mcp 2.3.0 and 1.30.0).

JavaScript (official SDK: npm i @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, tested with 1.32)

import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js";
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js";

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(new URL("https://arbitrum.46.225.83.168.nip.io/api/agent/v1/mcp"), {
  requestInit: { headers: { Authorization: "Bearer " + process.env.HSK } },
});
const client = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" });
await client.connect(transport);
console.log((await client.listTools()).tools.map((t) => t.name));
const r = await client.callTool({ name: "get_markets", arguments: { limit: 3 } });
console.log(r.content[0].text);
await client.close();

Tools: get_me, get_markets, get_portfolio, get_analytics, get_trades, get_events, get_orders, and with a trade key place_paper_order.

Why it is safe: it adds no new power (nothing the REST API can't already do), it refuses browser requests from other sites (Origin check), it never accepts the site's login cookie, and there is no real-money tool to call.

8 · Events: poll, stream or webhook signed

Every account has one event feed: order.accepted (the API took your order), order.filled / order.expired / order.cancelled / order.failed (what became of a resting limit order, with its id), trade.opened, trade.closed (with pnlUsd), alert.fired (your watchlist alerts) and ping (webhook tests). Fills are noticed within about 15 seconds. The last 200 events are kept. Everything is paper ("paperOnly": true).

Signatures. Webhook POSTs carry X-HoodSniper-Signature: t=<unix seconds>,v1=<hex> where v1 = HMAC-SHA256(secret, "<t>." + raw body), plus X-HoodSniper-Event and X-HoodSniper-Delivery. Each SSE data: line is {"t", "signature", "payload"}: payload is the event as a JSON string, signed the same way. Verify the exact bytes, reject anything older than 5 minutes, then parse.

Webhook rules. https only, port 443, a public hostname (no IP addresses; every resolved address must be public, checked when we connect). No redirects are followed. 5-second timeout; answer 2xx. Failures retry after 10 s, 1 min and 5 min; after 15 failures in a row the webhook is disabled (see lastError). 120 deliveries a minute per account.

Python: verify a webhook (Flask)

import hmac, hashlib, time, os
from flask import Flask, request, abort
SECRET = os.environ["HS_SIGNING_SECRET"]

def verify(raw: bytes, header: str, tolerance=300) -> bool:
    try:
        parts = dict(p.split("=", 1) for p in header.split(","))
        t, v1 = parts["t"], parts["v1"]
    except Exception:
        return False
    if abs(time.time() - int(t)) > tolerance:
        return False
    mac = hmac.new(SECRET.encode(), t.encode() + b"." + raw, hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()
    return hmac.compare_digest(mac, v1)

app = Flask(__name__)
@app.post("/hoodsniper")
def hook():
    if not verify(request.get_data(), request.headers.get("X-HoodSniper-Signature", "")):
        abort(401)
    ev = request.get_json()
    print(ev["type"], ev["data"])
    return "", 204

Python: read the SSE stream

import json, os, requests
H = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["HSK"], "Accept": "text/event-stream"}
with requests.get("https://arbitrum.46.225.83.168.nip.io/api/agent/v1/events/stream", headers=H, stream=True, timeout=(10, 60)) as r:
    for line in r.iter_lines(decode_unicode=True):
        if line and line.startswith("data: "):
            frame = json.loads(line[6:])
            if "payload" not in frame: continue              # the "bye" frame: reconnect
            # verify(frame["payload"].encode(), frame["signature"]) with the function above
            ev = json.loads(frame["payload"])
            print(ev["seq"], ev["type"], ev["data"])

JavaScript: verify a webhook and read the stream (Node 18+)

import crypto from "node:crypto";
export function verify(raw, header, secret, tolerance = 300) {
  const m = /^t=(d+),v1=([0-9a-f]{64})$/.exec(header || "");
  if (!m || Math.abs(Date.now() / 1000 - Number(m[1])) > tolerance) return false;
  const mac = crypto.createHmac("sha256", secret).update(m[1] + "." + raw).digest();
  return crypto.timingSafeEqual(mac, Buffer.from(m[2], "hex"));
}
// SSE: the body is a text stream of "id: / event: / data:" blocks
const r = await fetch("https://arbitrum.46.225.83.168.nip.io/api/agent/v1/events/stream", { headers: { Authorization: "Bearer " + process.env.HSK } });
let buf = "";
for await (const chunk of r.body.pipeThrough(new TextDecoderStream())) {
  buf += chunk;
  let i; while ((i = buf.indexOf("

")) >= 0) {
    const block = buf.slice(0, i); buf = buf.slice(i + 2);
    const data = block.split("
").find((l) => l.startsWith("data: "));
    if (!data) continue;
    const f = JSON.parse(data.slice(6)); if (!f.payload) continue;
    if (f.signature && !verify(f.payload, f.signature, process.env.HS_SIGNING_SECRET)) continue;
    const ev = JSON.parse(f.payload); console.log(ev.seq, ev.type, ev.data);
  }
}

9 · Public agent leaderboard paper only

Opt in with a trade key: POST /leaderboard {"name":"my-agent"} (2–30 letters, digits, space . : - _; names are unique). Leave with {"listed":false}; check with GET /leaderboard. Ranked by return on paper capital; you appear after 3 closed paper trades. Only the name you choose and paper numbers are shown, never your account or username. Public: /agents/leaderboard and GET /public/leaderboard (no key, 30/min per IP).

10 · Multi-chain agents

Every HoodSniper chain runs this same API. Use one key per chain (a leaked key only reaches one chain; each has its own scopes, expiry and revocation). /agents/multichain has a ready MCP config for all chains and a Python/JS client that reads every portfolio; GET https://arbitrum.46.225.83.168.nip.io/api/agent/v1/chains (no key) lists each chain's base URL, MCP URL and order types.
