tensorfeed

tensorfeed

JavaScript/TypeScript SDK for the TensorFeed.ai API.

Free endpoints (news, status, models, benchmarks, history, routing preview) need no auth. The premium tier (top-N model routing, more endpoints landing later) is paid via USDC on Base. No accounts, no API keys, no traditional payment processors.

Install

npm install tensorfeed

Zero runtime dependencies. Uses native fetch (Node.js 18+ or any modern browser).

Free Tier

import { TensorFeed } from 'tensorfeed';

const tf = new TensorFeed();

// Latest AI news
const news = await tf.news({ category: 'research', limit: 10 });
news.articles.forEach(a => console.log(a.title));

// Live AI service status
const status = await tf.status();
status.services.forEach(s => console.log(`${s.name}: ${s.status}`));

// Is a service down?
const claude = await tf.isDown('claude');
console.log(`Claude is ${claude.isDown ? 'DOWN' : 'operational'}`);

// Model pricing and benchmarks
console.log(await tf.models());
console.log(await tf.benchmarks());

// Daily history snapshots (the moat)
console.log(await tf.history());
console.log(await tf.historySnapshot('2026-04-27', 'pricing'));

// Free routing preview (top-1, 5 calls/day per IP)
const preview = await tf.routingPreview({ task: 'code' });
console.log(preview.recommendation);

Premium Tier (paid, USDC on Base)

import { TensorFeed, PaymentRequired } from 'tensorfeed';

const tf = new TensorFeed();

// Step 1: get a 30-minute quote
const quote = await tf.buyCredits({ amountUsd: 1.0 });
console.log(`Send ${quote.amount_usd} USDC on Base to ${quote.wallet}`);
console.log(`Memo: ${quote.memo} (expires in ${quote.ttl_seconds}s)`);

// Step 2: send the USDC tx with your wallet (manually for now)

// Step 3: confirm with the tx hash
const result = await tf.confirm({ txHash: '0xYOUR_TX_HASH', nonce: quote.memo });
console.log(`Got ${result.credits} credits, token: ${result.token}`);
// The token is auto-stored on `tf`; routing() will use it.

// Step 4: call premium endpoints
const rec = await tf.routing({ task: 'code', budget: 5.0, topN: 5 });
rec.recommendations.forEach(r => {
  console.log(`#${r.rank}: ${r.model.name} (score: ${r.composite_score.toFixed(2)})`);
});

// Custom routing weights
const ranked = await tf.routing({
  task: 'general',
  weights: { quality: 0.6, cost: 0.3, availability: 0.1, latency: 0.0 },
});

// Premium history series (1 credit each, default range = last 30 days, max 90)
const prices = await tf.pricingSeries({ model: 'Claude Opus 4.7' });
console.log(`Price moved ${prices.summary.delta_pct_blended}% over the window`);

const scores = await tf.benchmarkSeries({
  model: 'Claude Opus 4.7',
  benchmark: 'swe_bench',
});
console.log(`SWE-bench moved ${scores.summary.delta_pp} pp`);

const uptime = await tf.statusUptime({ provider: 'anthropic' });
console.log(`Anthropic uptime: ${uptime.uptime_pct}% over ${uptime.days_with_data} days`);

const diff = await tf.historyCompare({
  from: '2026-04-01',
  to: '2026-04-27',
  type: 'pricing',
});
if (diff.type === 'pricing') {
  console.log(`${diff.changed.length} price changes, ${diff.added.length} new models`);
}

// Premium webhook watches (1 credit per registration, free reads)
const created = await tf.createWatch({
  spec: {
    type: 'price',
    model: 'Claude Opus 4.7',
    field: 'blended',
    op: 'lt',
    threshold: 30,
  },
  callbackUrl: 'https://agent.example.com/hook',
  secret: 'any-shared-secret', // used to sign deliveries
});
console.log(`Watch ${created.watch.id} active until ${created.watch.expires_at}`);

// When a delivery arrives, verify it:
//   const sig = req.headers['x-tensorfeed-signature']; // "sha256=<hex>"
//   const expected = 'sha256=' + crypto
//     .createHmac('sha256', 'any-shared-secret')
//     .update(rawBody)
//     .digest('hex');
//   if (!crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(sig), Buffer.from(expected))) reject();

console.log(await tf.listWatches());           // all your active watches
console.log(await tf.getWatch(created.watch.id)); // fire_count, last_fired_at
await tf.deleteWatch(created.watch.id);        // remove when done

// Check remaining credits
console.log(await tf.balance());

Reusing a Token Across Sessions

// Save the token after confirm()
const token = result.token!;

// Later, in another process:
const tf = new TensorFeed({ token });
console.log(await tf.balance());
const rec = await tf.routing({ task: 'code' });

Error Handling

import { TensorFeed, PaymentRequired, RateLimited, TensorFeedError } from 'tensorfeed';

const tf = new TensorFeed({ token: 'bad_token' });
try {
  await tf.routing({ task: 'code' });
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof PaymentRequired) {
    // 402: token invalid, expired, or out of credits
    console.log('Need to top up:', e.payload);
  } else if (e instanceof RateLimited) {
    // 429: free preview tier rate-limited (5/day per IP)
    console.log('Hit the rate limit:', e.payload);
  } else if (e instanceof TensorFeedError) {
    console.log('API error', e.statusCode, e.payload);
  } else {
    throw e;
  }
}

Premium Data Terms

Premium API responses are licensed for inference use only. Use of TensorFeed premium data for training, fine-tuning, evaluation, or distillation of ML models is prohibited (Section 17.1 of the Terms).

No refunds; credits do not expire

All credit purchases are final and non-refundable per Section 17.5 of the Terms. Credits never expire and are jointly redeemable on tensorfeed.ai and terminalfeed.io. The recommended pattern is to buy in small increments (for example, $1 USDC for 50 credits) until call volume is calibrated, then top up as needed.

Sanctions

Premium API access is unavailable to persons or entities subject to OFAC, EU, UK, or UN sanctions, and to residents of comprehensively sanctioned jurisdictions (Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk). Inbound credit-purchase transactions are screened against the Chainalysis public sanctions API. See Section 17.9 of the Terms.
