Token manipulation signals API
Report buy, sell, price-change, and volume signals from public DEX Screener data for the largest Base pool. These are feed observations, not proof of manipulation.
The Token manipulation signals operation is part of the Token Security API on BRAINIAC.software. Report buy, sell, price-change, and volume signals from public DEX Screener data for the largest Base pool. These are feed observations, not proof of manipulation. It is exposed as POST /api/v1/token-security/manipulation-signals and priced at $0.04 USDC on Base. Payment uses the x402 exact scheme: an unpaid call returns HTTP 402 with payment requirements; after paying the exact USDC amount, retry the same request with a payment-signature header and Idempotency-Key. No account and no API key are required. Data sources for this product: Base public JSON-RPC (mainnet.base.org), unauthenticated. Contract runtime bytecode and public eth_call / eth_getStorageAt reads. DEX Screener public token endpoint (api.dexscreener.com), unauthenticated. Limitations: Only Base mainnet (chain id 8453) is assessed. A missing signal is not evidence that a token is safe. Buy and sell behaviour is not simulated. Bytecode selector matches can be coincidental and do not prove a function is callable. DEX Screener figures are feed reports, not pool balances read by this API. LP locks, holder concentration, and wallet-specific blacklist status are not measured. No risk score is calculated. Outputs are compliance prechecks, drafts, or data lookups for human review. They are not official determinations, legal advice, identity confirmation, or certified filings. Related operations in this group include Token risk verdict, Honeypot risk check, Ownership risk check, Liquidity risk assessment.
