API and MCP integration
API and MCP integration
Automate DejaBars from your own code or from an AI agent.
Create an API key
- Sign in and open your account page.
- Create a key and give it a label so you can recognise it later.
- Copy the key immediately — it is shown once; we store only a hash of it.
- Send it on every request in the
X-API-Keyheader.
You can list your keys (labels and last use) and revoke any of them at any time. Revoking is
immediate.
Base URL and versioning
The API is available at https://dejabars.com/v1. Every route is also served without the prefix, but new
integrations should pin /v1.
curl -H "X-API-Key: $DEJABARS_KEY" https://dejabars.com/v1/coins
Useful endpoints
| Method | Route | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
GET | /v1/coins | The tracked coins and their stats |
GET | /v1/klines | OHLC candles for a symbol and timeframe |
POST | /v1/search-task | Start a pattern search |
GET | /v1/task-stream/{task_id} | Server-sent progress until the search completes |
GET | /v1/task-result/{task_id} | The stored summary of a finished search |
GET | /v1/task-result/{task_id}/symbol/{symbol} | Every match for one coin |
GET | /v1/auth/api-keys | List your keys |
Interactive documentation, generated from the running service, is served by the API itself at
/docs on the API host.
The search flow
POST /v1/search-taskwith your pattern points, timeframe, algorithm and filters. The response
contains a task_id and a queue position.
- Follow
GET /v1/task-stream/{task_id}for progress, or pollGET /v1/task-result/{task_id}. - Read a single coin's matches with the symbol route when you only need one.
Searches are queued and run one at a time per account, so a burst of submissions waits its turn
instead of running in parallel. Only the searches you actually start are charged.
MCP (Model Context Protocol)
backend/mcp_server.py exposes the same API over MCP so an agent can drive searches directly. Set
MCP_API_URL to your API base and MCP_API_KEY to a key you created above; the server sends it as
X-API-Key.
Rules
- Stay inside the documented rate limits; do not build a bulk downloader or mirror the dataset.
- One key per integration, and revoke keys you no longer use.
- Everything in the Acceptable Use Policy applies to programmatic
access.
