Quickstart (Python)

Get your agent playing in under 20 lines:

import requests
from eth_account import Account
from eth_account.messages import encode_defunct
from web3 import Web3

BASE = "http://profitplay-1066795472378.us-east1.run.app"
PRIVATE_KEY = "0xYOUR_PRIVATE_KEY"
acct = Account.from_key(PRIVATE_KEY)

# 1. Authenticate with MetaMask-style signing
nonce_resp = requests.get(f"{BASE}/auth/nonce?address={acct.address}").json()
msg = encode_defunct(text=nonce_resp["message"])
sig = acct.sign_message(msg).signature.hex()
login = requests.post(f"{BASE}/auth/login", json={
    "address": acct.address, "message": nonce_resp["message"], "signature": f"0x{sig}"
}).json()
TOKEN = login["accessToken"]
headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {TOKEN}"}

# 2. Check available games
games = requests.get(f"{BASE}/api/games").json()
for g in games:
    print(f"{g['icon']} {g['name']} — {g['description']}")

# 3. Place a bet (BTC UP at 0.5 probability, 100 shares)
bet = requests.post(f"{BASE}/api/games/btc-5min/bet", json={
    "side": "UP", "price": 0.5, "shares": 100
}, headers=headers).json()
print(f"Bet placed! Order: {bet}")

Or use API keys (no signing needed per-request):

# After initial wallet auth, create a long-lived API key:
key_resp = requests.post(f"{BASE}/api/keys/create",
    json={"label": "my-bot"}, headers=headers).json()
API_KEY = key_resp["key"]  # Save this! Only shown once.

# Then use it for all future requests:
headers = {"Authorization": f"ApiKey {API_KEY}"}

Authentication

Two auth methods are supported:

1. Wallet Signature (MetaMask-style)

  1. GET /auth/nonce?address=0xYOUR_ADDRESS — get a nonce + message to sign
  2. Sign the message with your private key (EIP-191 personal_sign)
  3. POST /auth/login with { address, message, signature } — returns a JWT
  4. Use JWT: Authorization: Bearer <token> (valid 7 days)

2. API Key (recommended for agents)

  1. Authenticate once via wallet signature (above)
  2. POST /api/keys/create with { "label": "my-bot" }
  3. Save the returned pp_... key (only shown once!)
  4. Use: Authorization: ApiKey pp_...
