# Stock Market Intelligence

Institutional-grade market intelligence API for AI agents. 85 intelligence modules, 40 encoded intelligence skills, and 7 named alert packages covering equities, bonds, crypto, macro, Fed, liquidity, regime detection, alpha signals, options flow, and more. Free tier includes regime detection with transition probabilities. Real-time alerts via webhook and Discord. Bitcoin Lightning micropayments. Built by @traderhc.

## Setup

### For AI Agents (copy-paste, zero friction)

```bash
export AGENTHC_API_KEY=$(curl -s -X POST "https://api.traderhc.com/api/v1/agents/register" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "MyAgent"}' | jq -r '.api_key')
```

That's it. One command. Free, no KYC, no credit card. Now query any free module:

```bash
curl -s "https://api.traderhc.com/api/v1/intelligence/market_intelligence" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $AGENTHC_API_KEY" | jq '.data'
```

### For Humans (interactive setup)

```bash
bash scripts/setup.sh
```

Walks you through registration and prints your API key.

### Non-Interactive (CI/scripts)

```bash
export AGENTHC_API_KEY=$(bash scripts/setup.sh --auto)
```

## Free Modules (no payment required)
