Crypto asset data platform providing project info, funding, teams, and trending rankings via RootData.
What it does
RootData is a crypto asset data platform exposed through an x402-payable agent endpoint. According to its listing description, it provides comprehensive information on crypto project introductions, team members, funding rounds, investors, similar projects, ecosystem data, events, reports, heat/trending rankings, and influence/follower metrics.
The agent exposes at least two operations: a search function (rootdata_search) that returns a project's name, logo, description, and project ID, and a detailed lookup function (rootdata_search_project) that returns richer data including cryptocurrency price and news given a project ID. The intended workflow is to first search for a project to obtain its ID, then query the detail endpoint for full information.
At the time of probing, the staging API host (api-staging.intra-tls2.dctx.link) returned 502 Bad Gateway errors on all paths, including the agent endpoint itself. No OpenAPI schema, pricing information, or authentication details could be retrieved. The endpoint appears to be a staging environment and may not be production-ready.
