PolyOx NBA API

Base URL: https://api-hoobs.polyox.io

All responses are JSON. Paginated endpoints return { data, page, pageSize, total }.

Step 0 — Check your wallet

Before calling any paid endpoint you need an EVM wallet with USDC on Base Sepolia.

Already have a wallet? Make sure the EVM_PRIVATE_KEY environment variable is set and skip to Quick start.

Don't have a wallet? Set one up with Coinbase Agentic Wallet — a CLI wallet built for AI agents. No private key management required.

Set up Coinbase Agentic Wallet

Prerequisites: Node.js 24+ and an email address.

# Install the agentic-wallet skills (one-time)
npx skills add coinbase/agentic-wallet-skills

Authenticate

# 1. Start login — sends a 6-digit code to your email
npx awal@latest auth login agent@example.com

# 2. Verify with the code you received
npx awal@latest auth verify <flowId> <otp>

# 3. Confirm authentication
npx awal@latest status

Check address & balance

npx awal@latest address
npx awal@latest balance

Fund your wallet

Get testnet USDC from the Base Sepolia faucet, or ask another agent / user to send USDC to your wallet address.

Paid endpoint — x402 protocol

POST /nba/analysis

AI-powered matchup analysis. Payment via x402 — the HTTP-native payment standard.

• Network: Base Sepolia (chain ID 84532)
• Token: USDC at 0x036CbD53842c5426634e7929541eC2318f3dCF7e
• Protocol docs: https://docs.x402.org

Request body

{
  "date": "2026-02-08",
  "home": "MIN",
  "away": "LAC"
}

All three fields required. date is YYYY-MM-DD, home/away are team abbreviations.

How x402 works (step by step)

Step 1 — Send the request

Make a normal HTTP request. The server will respond with HTTP 402.

curl -s -D - -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"date":"2026-02-08","home":"MIN","away":"LAC"}' \
  "https://api-hoobs.polyox.io/nba/analysis"

Step 2 — Parse the 402 response

The 402 response includes a PAYMENT-REQUIRED header. Decode it from base64 to get the payment requirements:

# Extract and decode the payment requirements
PAYMENT_REQUIRED=$(curl -s -D - -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"date":"2026-02-08","home":"MIN","away":"LAC"}' \
  "https://api-hoobs.polyox.io/nba/analysis" \
  | grep -i "payment-required" | cut -d' ' -f2 | tr -d '\r')

echo "$PAYMENT_REQUIRED" | base64 -d | jq .

The decoded JSON contains:

{
  "maxAmountRequired": "...",
  "resource": "...",
  "payTo": "0x...",
  "asset": "0x036CbD53842c5426634e7929541eC2318f3dCF7e",
  "network": "eip155:84532",
  "expiresAt": "...",
  "nonce": "...",
  "paymentId": "...",
  "accepts": [{ "scheme": "exact", "network": "eip155:84532" }]
}

Step 3 — Sign and construct the payment

Using the payment requirements, create an EIP-712 typed-data signature that authorises the USDC transfer. This is an off-chain signature — no gas spent.

The signature must be sent as a base64-encoded JSON payload in the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header when retrying the request.

Important: The EIP-712 signing step requires a crypto library. Pure curl cannot sign. Use one of the approaches below.

Step 4 — Retry with payment

curl -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "PAYMENT-SIGNATURE: <base64_encoded_signed_payload>" \
  -d '{"date":"2026-02-08","home":"MIN","away":"LAC"}' \
  "https://api-hoobs.polyox.io/nba/analysis"

The server verifies the signature, settles the payment on-chain, and returns the analysis. A PAYMENT-RESPONSE header is included with settlement proof.

Agent integration options

Choose the approach that matches your setup:

Option A — Coinbase Agentic Wallet (recommended)

The simplest path. If you set up your wallet via awal in Step 0, you can pay for x402 endpoints in a single command — no code, no private key handling.

# Pay and call the analysis endpoint
npx awal@latest x402 pay \
  "https://api-hoobs.polyox.io/nba/analysis" \
  -X POST \
  -d '{"date":"2026-02-08","home":"MIN","away":"LAC"}'

The awal x402 pay command handles the full 402 → sign → retry flow automatically. Options:

Option B — Node.js / TypeScript

If you already have an EVM private key and prefer programmatic control:

npm install @x402/fetch @x402/core @x402/evm viem

import { wrapFetchWithPayment } from "@x402/fetch";
import { x402Client } from "@x402/core/client";
import { registerExactEvmScheme } from "@x402/evm/exact/client";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

const signer = privateKeyToAccount(process.env.EVM_PRIVATE_KEY as `0x${string}`);
const client = new x402Client();
registerExactEvmScheme(client, { signer });

const fetchWithPayment = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, client);

const res = await fetchWithPayment(
  "https://api-hoobs.polyox.io/nba/analysis",
  {
    method: "POST",
    headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
    body: JSON.stringify({ date: "2026-02-08", home: "MIN", away: "LAC" }),
  },
);

console.log(await res.json());

Note for AI agents: Option A is the fastest way to get started — no private key required. Option B gives full programmatic control if you already manage your own wallet.
