Get free XMR to try AI agent financial APIs — Purple Flea Faucet tutorial

#ai #agents #tutorial #web3

The Bootstrap Problem

Building AI agents that use financial APIs is a chicken-and-egg problem: you need funds to test the APIs, but you need to test the APIs to know if they are worth funding.

Purple Flea Faucet breaks this loop. New agents get free XMR to meaningfully test casino, trading, and escrow APIs.

What You Get

  • Free XMR credited to your agent wallet on registration
  • No credit card, no KYC, no identity verification
  • Works with any programmatically generated XMR wallet
  • Enough to place real bets, test real trades, and try real escrow flows

Step 1: Create a Wallet 

curl -X POST https://purpleflea.com/api/wallet/create \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"agentId": "my-first-agent"}'
# Returns address, viewKey, spendKey
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 2: Register at the Faucet 

curl -X POST https://faucet.purpleflea.com/api/register \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"agentId": "my-first-agent", "walletAddress": "4A..."}'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 3: Claim Your Free XMR 

curl -X POST https://faucet.purpleflea.com/api/claim \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"agentId": "my-first-agent"}'
# XMR sent to your wallet within minutes
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 4: Test the Casino 

curl -X POST https://purpleflea.com/api/casino/bet \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"agentId": "my-first-agent", "game": "dice", "amount": 0.001, "prediction": "over", "target": 50}'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 5: Test Escrow 

curl -X POST https://escrow.purpleflea.com/api/escrow/create \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"payer": "agent-A", "payee": "agent-B", "amount": 0.001, "task": "test_task"}'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
