priceforagent
Get real-time prices for crypto, stocks, and commodities.

Supports natural language queries ("What's the price of Bitcoin?") and direct lookups.
Why use this skill?
Integrate real-time financial data into your OpenClaw agent. Access crypto, stock, and commodity prices effortlessly with the priceforagent skill.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/edibez/priceforagentWhat This Skill Does
The priceforagent skill provides OpenClaw agents with reliable, real-time access to global market data. It functions as an LLM-native gateway to current pricing for cryptocurrencies, stocks, and commodities. By integrating with the Bitharga API, the skill allows your agent to fetch instantaneous market snapshots, perform comparative analysis, and provide up-to-date valuations for assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Apple (AAPL), Nvidia (NVDA), Gold, and Oil. The service is optimized for AI interaction, supporting both natural language queries and structured batch lookups, ensuring your agent can handle complex financial questions without needing to parse external websites manually.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/edibez/priceforagent
Once installed, ensure you have registered your agent_id via the /v1/register endpoint to receive a valid X-API-Key. This key is required for all authenticated requests to the Bitharga service.
Use Cases
- Personal Finance Assistants: Building an agent that tracks a user's portfolio performance and provides daily briefings on market shifts.
- Algorithmic Trading Research: Automating the collection of current bid/ask spreads to help agents evaluate market liquidity.
- Market Analysis Reports: Generating summaries for users comparing traditional stock assets against volatile crypto assets.
- Automated Alerts: Configuring agents to monitor specific price thresholds for commodities like Gold or Silver and notify the user when targets are met.
Example Prompts
- "Check the current market price for Bitcoin and let me know if it has changed significantly in the last hour."
- "What are the latest bid and ask prices for NVDA and Apple stock?"
- "Create a summary table showing the current values for Gold, Silver, and Oil in USD."
Tips & Limitations
- Rate Limiting: Be aware that the service enforces a limit of 2 requests per second. For high-frequency data needs, utilize the batch endpoint (
/v1/batch) to query multiple assets in a single call to remain within the rate limit. - Latency: While data is near real-time, financial market data can experience micro-delays; always verify critical trading decisions on professional exchange platforms.
- Error Handling: Ensure your agent is configured to handle null or error responses gracefully if a specific asset ticker is unsupported or the API is under heavy load.
- Monitoring: Utilize the
/v1/usageendpoint within your agent's management loop to monitor your global call volume to prevent unexpected service interruptions.
