market-data-live is a real-time crypto market data feed for AI agents. Every record includes token symbol, current price in USD, 24-hour price change percentage, and 24-hour trading volume in USD. The feed covers major tokens by market cap and is structured for direct LLM ingestion — no HTML to parse, no CSV to transform. Updated every 5 minutes from CoinGecko. Inspect for free, pay $0.01 USDC per query via x402.

Global context included: market-data-live includes global_market_cap_usd and total_tokens count alongside per-token data. Agents get macro market context and individual token data in a single query — useful for portfolio agents that need to benchmark individual positions against market-wide movements.
