Alchemy Prices API Skill

Use this skill to run Alchemy Prices API operations through 
uxc
+ OpenAPI.
Reuse the 
uxc
skill for shared execution, auth, and error-handling guidance.

Prerequisites

  • uxc
    is installed and available in 
    PATH
    .
  • Network access to 
    https://api.g.alchemy.com
    .
  • Access to the curated OpenAPI schema URL: 
    • https://raw.githubusercontent.com/holon-run/uxc/main/skills/alchemy-openapi-skill/references/alchemy-prices.openapi.json
  • An Alchemy API key.

Scope

This v1 skill intentionally covers the narrow Prices API surface:
  • token price lookup by symbol
  • token price lookup by contract address
  • historical token prices
This skill does not cover:
  • node JSON-RPC
  • NFT or portfolio APIs
  • write operations
  • the broader Alchemy API surface
  • multi-symbol batch lookup in one 
    uxc
    call

Authentication

Alchemy Prices API places the API key in the request path: 
/prices/v1/{apiKey}/...
.
Configure one API-key credential with a request path prefix template:
bash
uxc auth credential set alchemy-prices \
  --auth-type api_key \
  --secret-env ALCHEMY_API_KEY \
  --path-prefix-template "/prices/v1/{{secret}}"

uxc auth binding add \
  --id alchemy-prices \
  --host api.g.alchemy.com \
  --scheme https \
  --credential alchemy-prices \
  --priority 100
Validate the active mapping when auth looks wrong:
bash
uxc auth binding match https://api.g.alchemy.com

Core Workflow

  1. Use the fixed link command by default:
    • command -v alchemy-openapi-cli
    • If missing, create it: 
      uxc link alchemy-openapi-cli https://api.g.alchemy.com --schema-url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/holon-run/uxc/main/skills/alchemy-openapi-skill/references/alchemy-prices.openapi.json
    • alchemy-openapi-cli -h
  2. Inspect operation schema first:
    • alchemy-openapi-cli get:/tokens/by-symbol -h
    • alchemy-openapi-cli post:/tokens/by-address -h
    • alchemy-openapi-cli post:/tokens/historical -h
  3. Start with narrow single-asset reads before batch historical requests:
    • alchemy-openapi-cli get:/tokens/by-symbol symbols=ETH currency=USD
    • alchemy-openapi-cli post:/tokens/by-address '{"addresses":[{"network":"eth-mainnet","address":"0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48"}],"currency":"USD"}'
  4. Use positional JSON only for the POST endpoints:
  • alchemy-openapi-cli post:/tokens/historical '{"symbol":"ETH","startTime":"2025-01-01T00:00:00Z","endTime":"2025-01-07T00:00:00Z","interval":"1d","currency":"USD"}'

Operations

  • get:/tokens/by-symbol
  • post:/tokens/by-address
  • post:/tokens/historical

Guardrails

  • Keep automation on the JSON output envelope; do not use 
    --text
    .
  • Parse stable fields first: 
    ok
    , 
    kind
    , 
    protocol
    , 
    data
    , 
    error
    .
  • Treat this v1 skill as read-only and prices-only. Do not imply RPC, trade execution, or wallet mutation support.
  • API keys are sensitive because they appear in the request path. Use 
    --secret-env
    or 
    --secret-op
    , not shell history literals, when possible.
  • /tokens/by-symbol
    is query-based in the live API.
  • The live API supports repeated 
    symbols=
    parameters, but this v1 skill intentionally narrows that endpoint to a single 
    symbols=<TOKEN>
    query because current 
    uxc
    query argument handling does not reliably execute array-shaped query parameters.
  • Historical requests can expand quickly. Keep time windows tight unless the user explicitly wants a larger backfill.
  • alchemy-openapi-cli <operation> ...
    is equivalent to 
    uxc https://api.g.alchemy.com --schema-url <alchemy_openapi_schema> <operation> ...
    .
