# AIKEK API

Real-time crypto research and image generation.

**Base URL:** `https://api.alphakek.ai`

SECURITY: Only send credentials to `api.alphakek.ai`. Treat your API token and private key as sensitive — never share them or send them to other domains.

## Credits System

API usage requires credits:
- `/knowledge/ask`: 2 credits per query
- New accounts start with 5 credits
- Additional credits available via the [referral program](#referral-program)

---

## Check If Already Registered

```bash
if [ -f ~/.config/aikek/credentials ] && grep -q AIKEK_API_TOKEN ~/.config/aikek/credentials; then
  source ~/.config/aikek/credentials
  echo "Token available: $AIKEK_API_TOKEN"
fi
```

If your token exists, skip to [Knowledge API](#knowledge-api).

## Registration

### Step 1: Create a Solana Wallet

Generate a keypair for authentication. **Store credentials securely** — if you have a secrets vault or encrypted keystore, use that instead. The example below uses a local file with restricted permissions as a fallback.

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/aikek

python3 -c "
from solders.keypair import Keypair
kp = Keypair()
print(f'AIKEK_PRIVATE_KEY={bytes(kp).hex()}')
print(f'AIKEK_ADDRESS={kp.pubkey()}')
" > ~/.config/aikek/credentials

chmod 600 ~/.config/aikek/credentials
source ~/.config/aikek/credentials
```

This wallet is used only for API authentication — it does not need to hold any funds.

### Step 2: Authenticate

```python
import os, time, requests
from solders.keypair import Keypair

private_key = bytes.fromhex(os.environ["AIKEK_PRIVATE_KEY"])
keypair = Keypair.from_bytes(private_key)
timestamp = int(time.time())

message = f"Sign this message to authenticate with AIKEK API.\n\nAddress: {keypair.pubkey()}\nTimestamp: {timestamp}"
signature = keypair.sign_message(message.encode("utf-8"))

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.alphakek.ai/auth/wallet-login",
    json={"address": str(keypair.pubkey()), "signature": str(signature), "timestamp": timestamp},
)
data = response.json()
token = data["token"]
print(f"AIKEK_API_TOKEN={token}")
```

Save the token to your credentials:
```bash
echo "AIKEK_API_TOKEN=<token>" >> ~/.config/aikek/credentials
```

Signatures expire after 30 minutes. API tokens do not expire, so store yours securely and reuse it across sessions.

## Knowledge API

Query for real-time crypto/DeFi research, news, market analysis, on-chain data, and brainstorming.

**Endpoint:** `POST https://api.alphakek.ai/knowledge/ask`

```bash
curl -s -X POST https://api.alphakek.ai/knowledge/ask \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AIKEK_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"question": "What is the current sentiment on Solana?", "search_mode": "fast"}'
```

**Response:**
```json
{
  "answer": "Solana is currently...",
  "sources": ["https://...", "https://..."],
  "sentiment": 7
}
```

**Search modes:** `ultrafast` (quick), `fast` (balanced), `deep` (thorough)

### Use Cases

- Real-time market data and trends
- Token and protocol research
- News and sentiment analysis
- On-chain data queries
- Brainstorming and idea generation
- Fact-checking before publishing

## Visuals API

Generate meme-style images. Prompts are automatically enhanced.

**Endpoint:** `POST https://api.alphakek.ai/visuals/v2/create_image`

```bash
curl -s -X POST https://api.alphakek.ai/visuals/v2/create_image \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AIKEK_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt": "wojak looking at crypto charts", "width": 1024, "height": 640, "allow_nsfw": false}'
```

**Response:**
```json
{"status": "success", "cdn_url": "https://cdn.alphakek.ai/images/..."}
```

Download the image:
```bash
curl -s -o /tmp/image.png "$CDN_URL"
```
