Methodalgo Market Intel Explorer

Methodalgo Market Intel Explorer Skill

Part 1 — Installing the Skill

Choose one of the following methods to install this skill into your AI agent:

Option A — ClawHub (Recommended)

clawhub install methodalgo-market-intel-explorer

Option B — GitHub Clone

git clone https://github.com/methodalgo/methodalgo-market-intel-explorer.git

Part 2 — Installing the CLI & Authentication

This skill relies on the methodalgo-cli, an open-source npm package (npmjs.com/package/methodalgo-cli), to fetch market data.

1. Install CLI

npm install -g methodalgo-cli

2. Authentication

The CLI supports two authentication methods. The CLI will prioritize the environment variable over the local config.

#### Method A: Environment Variable (Recommended for AI Agents) Set the following environment variable in your system or IDE:

#### Method B: Local CLI Login (Classic) Run the following command and enter your key when prompted:

methodalgo login

Apply for a key at: https://account.methodalgo.com/account/api-keys

Verify the installation:

methodalgo --version

3. Troubleshooting & Common Errors

| Error Message | Solution | |---------------|----------| | Authentication Required | Run methodalgo login or set METHODALGO_API_KEY environment variable. | | FRED API Key Required | Set FRED_API_KEY only if the task needs methodalgo fred ...; non-FRED commands do not need this optional key. | | Command Not Found | Ensure methodalgo-cli is installed: npm install -g methodalgo-cli. | | Binance command missing | Update the CLI to methodalgo-cli v1.0.26 or newer: methodalgo update or reinstall with npm install -g methodalgo-cli. | | Network Timeout | Ensure your network can access methodalgo.com. | | Outdated Results | Update the CLI: methodalgo update. |

Important Notes

1. Output Format: Output is pure JSON; simply use JSON.parse. 2. Two-Phase Fetch Strategy: - Phase 1 (Snapshot): Fetch 5 items to make a preliminary trend assessment. - Phase 2 (Deep Dive): Perform incremental fetches based on specific IDs or keywords (--after / --search). 3. Data Volume Limits: --limit controls the amount of data. News: max 500 items; Signals: max 600 items. 4. Language Handling: For news data, prioritize title.zh / excerpt.zh / analysis.zh fields for Chinese content (if requested). 5. Structural Inconsistency Alert: token-unlock returns an object (containing a signals array), while other channels return an array. The AI must determine processing logic based on the channel. 6. Snapshot Screenshots: snapshot returns image links via --url by default. Please access the visualized market charts through these links. 7. Authentication Failure: If Methodalgo service commands fail with 401/403 errors, verify your API key at https://account.methodalgo.com/account/api-keys and re-run methodalgo login. Binance public data commands do not use this API key. 8. FRED API Key: While Methodalgo provides macro data, you can set your own FRED key for higher limits: methodalgo config set fred-api-key . 9. Binance Public Data: methodalgo binance uses public Binance endpoints and does not require a Binance API key. Use .P symbols for futures when available, and use --market futures for list-style futures queries.
