# Quickstart Guide

This guide walks you through sending your first request to the CrypTech API. We will audit an Ethereum token contract to check honeypot status, trading taxes, and AMM cashout capacity.

## Prerequisites

1. An active CrypTech API Key (`X-API-Key`). If you do not have one, request access at [contactus@cryptechtoday.com](mailto:contactus@cryptechtoday.com?subject=CrypTech%20API%20Key%20Request).
2. A tool to make HTTP requests (`curl`, Python, or Node.js).

***

## 1. Make an API Request

Choose your preferred language or client below:

```bash cURL theme={null}
curl -X POST "https://api.cryptechtoday.com/api/v1/analyze" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "address": "0x514910771AF9Ca656af840dff83E8264EcF986CA",
    "chain": "ethereum"
  }'
```

```python Python theme={null}
import requests

url = "https://api.cryptechtoday.com/api/v1/analyze"
headers = {
    "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}
payload = {
    "address": "0x514910771AF9Ca656af840dff83E8264EcF986CA",
    "chain": "ethereum"
}

response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)
data = response.json()

print(f"Token: {data['symbol']} ({data['name']})")
print(f"Safety Score: {data['total_score']}/100 [{data['risk_label']}]")
print(f"Honeypot: {'YES 🚨' if data['raw_summary']['is_honeypot'] else 'NO ✅'}")
print(f"Max Safe Exit: ${data['sellability']['max_safe_exit_usd']:,}")
```

```typescript TypeScript / Node.js theme={null}
import axios from 'axios';

interface AuditResponse {
  name: string;
  symbol: string;
  total_score: number;
  risk_label: string;
  raw_summary: {
    is_honeypot: boolean;
    buy_tax_pct: number;
    sell_tax_pct: number;
    liquidity_usd: number;
  };
  sellability: {
    is_sellable: boolean;
    max_safe_exit_usd: number;
  };
}

async function runAudit() {
  const { data } = await axios.post<AuditResponse>(
    'https://api.cryptechtoday.com/api/v1/analyze',
    {
      address: '0x514910771AF9Ca656af840dff83E8264EcF986CA',
      chain: 'ethereum'
    },
    {
      headers: {
        'X-API-Key': process.env.CRYPTECH_API_KEY || 'YOUR_API_KEY',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      }
    }
  );

  console.log(`Token: ${data.name} (${data.symbol})`);
  console.log(`Score: ${data.total_score}/100 [${data.risk_label}]`);
  console.log(`Honeypot: ${data.raw_summary.is_honeypot ? 'FAIL' : 'PASS'}`);
  console.log(`Max Safe Exit: $${data.sellability.max_safe_exit_usd.toLocaleString()}`);
}

runAudit();
```

## 2. Inspect the Response

A successful response returns HTTP `200 OK` with verified security signals, decentralized holder distributions, and AMM cashout metrics:
