Surf

Surf (asksurf.ai) is a crypto-focused AI research and execution platform that exposes its intelligence as a developer API. The Surf Data API ("Hermod" gateway) provides 119 typed REST endpoints across 14 domains — exchange and market data, tokens, DeFi projects, wallets, on-chain SQL, social signals, news, funds, prediction markets (Polymarket/Kalshi), Hyperliquid perps, search, and web fetch — covering 40+ blockchains and 200+ data sources. A separate OpenAI-style Chat API (surf-2.0 / surf-2.0-instant models) answers natural-language crypto research questions with citations. Access is via a single Bearer API key with credit-based billing (30 free credits/day, no signup), and the platform ships a Go CLI, an MCP server, an Agent Skill, and a TypeScript SDK. Surf is backed by Pantera Capital.

Surf publishes 15 APIs on the APIs.io network, including DEX API, Exchange API, Fund API, and 12 more. Tagged areas include Company, Crypto, Blockchain, Market Data, and On-Chain Analytics.

Surf’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, pricing, signup flow, authentication, CLI, and 14 more developer resources.
