I Built a Free Crypto API That Detects Honeypots and Generates Alpha Signals

Storbas — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 12:20:43 +0000

A unified crypto intelligence API with honeypot detection, RSI/MACD signals, whale tracking across 8 chains, and embeddable widgets — all free tier available.

I Built a Free Crypto API That Detects Honeypots and Generates Alpha Signals

Prices, on-chain data, security checks, trading signals, and embeddable widgets — all in one API call.

Building crypto tools means juggling 5+ APIs. CoinGecko for prices, DeFiLlama for DeFi, Etherscan for whales, GoPlus for security, Alternative.me for sentiment. Every one of them has different auth, rate limits, and response formats.

I built ChainSight API to fix this. One endpoint. One response format. All crypto intelligence.

What's Inside

Free Tier — No API Key Needed

Market Data — Prices for 15,000+ coins, comparisons, trending
DeFi Analytics — Protocol TVL, yields, stablecoins
Whale Tracking — Large transactions across 8 chains (ETH, SOL, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, OP, Avalanche)
Fear & Greed Index — Current + historical sentiment
Gas Estimator — Real-time gas across all chains
Crypto News — Aggregated from CoinTelegraph, CryptoNews, Bitcoin Magazine
Correlation Matrix — BTC vs ETH vs S&P500 correlations
Embeddable Widgets — Copy-paste <script> tags for any website

Pro Tier — The Stuff That Saves/Makes You Money

Honeypot Detection — Check ANY token contract before buying. Detects hidden taxes, slippage traps, ownership risks. Powered by GoPlus Security.
Token Security Audit — Full contract analysis with risk scoring
RSI/MACD Momentum Signals — Technical indicators calculated server-side
Whale Accumulation Alerts — Detects when volume/mcap ratio signals smart money moving
Volume Anomaly Scanner — Finds tokens with unusual trading activity
White-Label Widgets — No watermark, custom branding

Quick Start

Get top 5 cryptocurrencies

import requests

response = requests.get(
    "https://chainsight-api.onrender.com/v1/market/top",
    params={"limit": 5}
)
for coin in response.json():
    print(f"{coin['name']}: ${coin['current_price']:,}")

Output:

Bitcoin: $64,124
Ethereum: $3,456
Tether: $1.00
BNB: $589
Solana: $167

Check if a token is a honeypot

response = requests.get(
    "https://chainsight-api.onrender.com/v1/security/honeypot/0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7",
    params={"chain": "ethereum"}
)
data = response.json()

print(f"Risk Score: {data['risk_score']}/100")
print(f"Verdict: {data['verdict']}")
print(f"Is Honeypot: {data['is_honeypot']}")

Output:

Risk Score: 45/100
Verdict: SUSPICIOUS - Proceed with caution
Is Honeypot: False

Get RSI/MACD momentum signals

response = requests.get(
    "https://chainsight-api.onrender.com/v1/signals/momentum",
    params={"coin_id": "bitcoin", "days": 30}
)
data = response.json()

print(f"Bias: {data['bias']}")
print(f"RSI: {data['indicators']['rsi_14']}")
print(f"MACD: {data['indicators']['macd']}")

for signal in data['signals']:
    print(f"  → {signal['interpretation']}")

Output:

Bias: NEUTRAL
RSI: 50.79
MACD: -1704.67
  → Price above 20-day SMA - short-term uptrend
  → 20-day SMA below 50-day SMA - death cross

Track whale transactions

response = requests.get(
    "https://chainsight-api.onrender.com/v1/whales/eth",
    params={"min_value": 100, "limit": 5}
)
for tx in response.json():
    if 'hash' in tx:
        print(f"{tx['value']} ETH — {tx['label'] or tx['from_address'][:16]}")

Free Crypto Intelligence API

Storbas — Tue, 14 Jul 2026 15:34:25 +0000

I Built a Free Crypto Intelligence API — Here's What It Does
Prices, DeFi analytics, whale tracking, and sentiment — all in one API call.

Building crypto trading tools requires data from multiple sources. CoinGecko for prices, DeFiLlama for TVL, Etherscan for gas, Alternative.me for sentiment.

That's 4 APIs to manage.

I built ChainSight API to solve this — one unified endpoint for all crypto intelligence data.

What It Does
ChainSight aggregates free crypto data into a single, clean API. No API keys needed for data sources. No rate limit headaches.

Stop Manually Scraping Google Maps. Use This Free API Instead.

How to Generate B2B Leads from Google Maps in 2 Minutes (Free API)

Stop manually copying business data. Automate your lead generation with this free API.

Generating B2B leads is tedious. You search Google Maps, copy the business name, find their website, check if the email exists... repeat 500 times.

What if you could do all of that with a single API call?

That's exactly what the Google Maps Business Scraper API does. Let me show you.

What It Does

Search any business type in any location (dentists in Madrid, restaurants in NYC, lawyers in London)
Get business name, address, website, phone, rating, and coordinates
Enrich with verified emails (SMTP verification) and social profiles (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook)
All returned as clean JSON in milliseconds

Quick Start

Step 1: Get Your Free API Key

Go to Google Maps Business Scraper on RapidAPI and sign up. The free tier gives you 100 requests/month with no credit card required.

Step 2: Search for Businesses

Python:

import requests

url = "https://google-maps-business-scraper5.p.rapidapi.com/v1/maps/search"

querystring = {
    "query": "dentistas",
    "location": "Madrid",
    "limit": "10"
}

headers = {
    "X-RapidAPI-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
    "X-RapidAPI-Host": "google-maps-business-scraper5.p.rapidapi.com"
}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params=querystring)
data = response.json()

for business in data["results"]:
    print(f"{business['name']} - {business['address']}")

JavaScript:

const options = {
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
        'X-RapidAPI-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY',
        'X-RapidAPI-Host': 'google-maps-business-scraper5.p.rapidapi.com'
    }
};

const url = new URL('https://google-maps-business-scraper5.p.rapidapi.com/v1/maps/search');
url.searchParams.append('query', 'dentistas');
url.searchParams.append('location', 'Madrid');
url.searchParams.append('limit', '10');

fetch(url, options)
    .then(res => res.json())
    .then(data => {
        data.results.forEach(biz => {
            console.log(`${biz.name} - ${biz.address}`);
        });
    });

Step 3: Enrich with Emails

Add enrich=true to get verified emails and social profiles:

querystring = {
    "query": "dentistas",
    "location": "Madrid",
    "limit": "10",
    "enrich": "true"
}

The response now includes:

{
    "name": "Clínica Dental Madrid",
    "address": "Calle Gran Vía 42, Madrid",
    "website": "https://clinicadental.com",
    "email": "info@clinicadental.com",
    "email_verified": true,
    "social": {
        "linkedin": "https://linkedin.com/company/clinicadental",
        "instagram": "https://instagram.com/clinicadental"
    }
}

Use Cases

Real Example: Finding Dentists in Madrid

import requests

# Search 50 dentists in Madrid
response = requests.get(
    "https://google-maps-business-scraper5.p.rapidapi.com/v1/maps/search",
    headers={
        "X-RapidAPI-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
        "X-RapidAPI-Host": "google-maps-business-scraper5.p.rapidapi.com"
    },
    params={
        "query": "dentistas",
        "location": "Madrid, Spain",
        "limit": "50",
        "enrich": "true"
    }
)

leads = response.json()["results"]
print(f"Found {len(leads)} leads")

for lead in leads:
    email = lead.get("email", "No email")
    print(f"{lead['name']} | {email} | ⭐ {lead.get('rating', 'N/A')}")

Output:

Found 50 leads
Clínica Dental Madrid | info@clinicadental.com | ⭐ 4.7
Dental Studio Madrid | hello@dentalstudio.es | ⭐ 4.5
