Grab an instant key — no signup

Hit the instant-key endpoint and you get a working prism_sk_… key back immediately. No account, no card, valid for 7 days — perfect for a first test or a throwaway demo.

instant endpoint

# Grab a working key — no account, valid 7 days
curl https://api.prismapi.ai/auth/keys/instant

The response contains api_key. Instant keys are rate-limited and expire in 7 days — graduate to a permanent key in step 3 before you ship.

Make your first call

Every request takes an X-API-Key header. Resolve any asset to its canonical identity — here's Bitcoin across cURL, Python, and TypeScript:

curl

curl -H "X-API-Key: prism_sk_..." \
  https://api.prismapi.ai/resolve/BTC

python

import requests

r = requests.get(
    "https://api.prismapi.ai/resolve/BTC",
    headers={"X-API-Key": "prism_sk_..."},
    timeout=10,
)
print(r.json())

typescript

npm install prismapi-sdk

import { Prism } from "prismapi-sdk";
const prism = new Prism({ apiKey: "prism_sk_..." });
const btc = await prism.resolve("BTC");

That's one of 252 endpoints. Browse them all in the Endpoint Explorer or the interactive docs.

Get your permanent API key

Create a free account, then mint a permanent key from the dashboard. The Free tier includes 10,000 requests/month and every data source — no card required.

Already grabbed an instant key in Step 1? Don't throw it away — once you've signed up, paste it into API Keys → Link Agent Key so its usage attributes to your account instead of expiring in 7 days.

Need more throughput? Pro is $49/mo for 1M requests with priority routing and webhooks.

Get $50 in free credits for your feedback.

Ship something on PRISM and tell us how it went — what worked, what was missing, what you'd build next. We send a $50 credit code back to every builder who shares real feedback (first 500 builders).

Plug PRISM into your agent (MCP)

PRISM ships as a Model Context Protocol server, so your agent calls it natively. Drop these six lines into your host's MCP config and restart — your agent inherits every PRISM tool.

~/.config/mcp/prism.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "prism": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@prism/mcp-server"],
      "env": { "PRISM_API_KEY": "prism_sk_..." }
    }
  }
}

Works in Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT (via OpenAPI), OpenClaw, and Hermes. Swap prism_sk_… for your key from step 3. Full setup & the 21 tools are in the MCP server repo.
