FAQs

API

  • How frequently is data updated on the Cambrian API?

    • Update frequency varies by endpoint and its underlying data requirements. Some endpoints refresh every few seconds, while others are updated hourly.

  • Does Cambrian have an MCP and CLI?

  • What is the timestamp format used?

    • We use Unix timestamps.

  • How can I paginate my query results?

    • Most of our endpoints support offset and limit parameters that can be used for pagination. Check the following example:
    curl "https://api.cambrian.org/solana/tokens?limit=100&offset=0" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $CAMBRIAN_API_KEY"

  • Can I access the Cambrian API with x402?

    • Yes, the Cambrian API is compatible with x402, enabling agents to discover endpoints at runtime. Pay per request, priced per endpoint. No subscription is required. Get started with our x402 guide.

  • Why do I get price=null for some assets?

    • A small number of tokens don’t have a calculable price because there isn't enough reliable market data to determine one. This might happen due to very low onchain liquidity, the price point being too old, or no stable pair being available.

Cambrian Account

  • How do Organization accounts work?
    • Every Cambrian user belongs to an Organization. An Organization can have one or several users. Users under the same Organization share the same plan’s credit pool, rate limits, and bill.
  • How can I onboard more team members to my organization?
    • Existing Organization Admins can invite new members by sharing the Invite URL. You can find it under Your Organization → Manage → Invite URL.
  • How can I contact the Cambrian team?
    • We have a dedicated support system for Cambrian users. You need to sign up for a Cambrian Account to access it. Create your Cambrian account here.
  • What happens when I reach my monthly usage limit?
    • If you use all your monthly calls, the API will stop accepting requests until the 1st of the next month. We don't charge for extra calls or bill for overflow. You can consider reaching out to our team from the pricing page to upgrade the plan or pay per request using x402.
  • What is the difference between Admins and Users?
    • Admins can invite and remove members, edit organization settings, revoke keys, and change the plan. Users can generate their own keys and make calls, but cannot change membership or billing.
