curl in your terminal to try the API. Start with sample data, then use a Pro or Max API key to read live data.
1. Try a request without a key
2. Get an API key
- Subscribe to Pro or Max for protected live data.
- Open Developers and choose Create key.
- Save the key when it appears. The full value is shown once.
- Store it in an environment variable:
3. Check the key and account
200 response means the credential is valid. Check data.entitlement to confirm the account can read paid data; a valid key can still belong to an account whose paid access has expired.
If you receive an error:
Errors covers the error body and recovery steps. Account identity explains the diagnostic fields.
4. Read the leaderboard
data array contains tracked S, A, and B wallets. Each row includes an id, grade, score, and P&L information.
Copy one id for the next request. An empty array is a valid response; do not assume a first row exists.
5. Open a trader profile
Replace<trader_id> with the id you copied:
sync_status, P&L, statistics, and a grade when one is available.
Check sync_status before using the numbers. An untracked wallet address returns 200 with sync_status: "unknown" and missing analytics; an unknown username or trader ID returns 404.
expand=strategy adds strategy details. Other optional groups include category_strengths, quant_metrics, and trust; Expand explains how to request them.
6. Find a large trade and its market
S or A wallets. Copy a row’s market.condition_id, then replace <condition_id> below:
sharp_money.net_flow_usd describes signed flow from tracked large trades in the selected time window. sharp_money.top_positions lists the largest positions held by graded S, A, and B wallets.
These fields describe observed activity. They do not predict the next price move. See Market flow for parameters and response details.
Use a client in your application
The Python, Go, TypeScript, and Rust pages show installation and complete examples. For a terminal workflow, use the CLI. Here is the leaderboard request in JavaScript without an SDK:Look up several wallets at once
Use batch trader lookup to read up to 25 profiles in one request. Each item returns its ownstatus, so an unknown wallet or username does not fail every other item. Each item uses one unit of the batch budget.
