Agent Integration
This CLI is designed for agent use. Key patterns:
- Always use
--jsonfor programmatic access - Check exit codes - 0 for success, 1 for error
- Use saved wallets - Configure once with
onchain setup, reference by name - Rate limiting - APIs have rate limits, add delays between rapid calls
Example Agent Usage
# Get portfolio value
VALUE=$(onchain --json portfolio main | jq -r '.totalValueUsd')
# Get price with change
onchain --json price btc | jq '{price: .priceUsd, change24h: .priceChange24h}'
# Check if market is bullish
CHANGE=$(onchain --json markets | jq '.marketCapChange24h')
