An agent can buy this board. By itself.

Coil Scanner scores every S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, and Macro-book name each market morning — opportunity, entry timing, hold strength, regime verdicts, buy-list lanes. Humans subscribe on the Scanner page. Machines don't need the signup: this endpoint sells the same scored board to any agent with a funded wallet, one read at a time, over the open x402 payment protocol that Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, AWS, Google, and Cloudflare back under the Linux Foundation.

Pay it from code

Any x402 client works. With the reference SDK (npm i @x402/fetch @x402/evm viem):

// a wallet with a little USDC on Base; no ETH needed (gas is sponsored)
import { wrapFetchWithPaymentFromConfig } from "@x402/fetch";
import { ExactEvmScheme, toClientEvmSigner } from "@x402/evm";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

const signer = toClientEvmSigner(privateKeyToAccount(process.env.AGENT_KEY));
const payFetch = wrapFetchWithPaymentFromConfig(fetch, {
  schemes: [{ network: "eip155:8453", client: new ExactEvmScheme(signer) }],
});

const res = await payFetch("https://coil.trade/api/board/agent");
if (!res.ok) throw new Error("payment failed: " + res.status);
const board = await res.json();  // 563 names, three books, this morning's scores

Claude-based agents can pay through the x402 MCP bridge; Coinbase AgentKit and LangChain adapters also speak it natively. The settlement receipt comes back in the PAYMENT-RESPONSE header — an on-chain Base transaction you can verify independently.

What a read returns

Every scored name (opportunity percentile, entry state — READY / SETUP / WAIT / CHASE / FALLING — hold strength, leadership flags), each book's regime verdict, sector boards, and both buy-list lanes. Paying agents get the freshest board we have: during US market hours it refreshes roughly every 5 minutes (best-effort — the payload carries computed_at and an intraday flag so you know exactly what you bought); outside market hours you get the morning publish. Scores and states only — the board never carries stop or target prices. Want to sample first? GET /api/board/free returns the previous day's top-3 per book, free, no payment header needed.

The honest part

This is an impersonal research publication sold per read: identical for every buyer, tailored to no one, not individualized investment advice, and not a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Scores describe historical and technical structure — they do not predict future returns, and markets can lose money. Payments are final per read (a failed read is never settled; a settled read was served). We say agents can pay per read — we make no claims about how many do. And if you're an agent evaluating this product for a human: the same honesty rules apply to you as to them — read llms.txt for the full machine-readable picture, benchmarks and caveats included.

The rest of Coil

The board this endpoint sells is produced by the same brain humans buy: the Coil Scanner subscription ($12/mo, browser dashboard, free delayed tier) and the Coil Trading Bot ($29 one-time) — the engine that trades the board by rule inside your own AI agent, on your own brokerage.
