How it works
- Search or target a publication — search across all supported financial newsletters and blogs for relevant posts, or query specific publications. Discovery routes are free.
- Inspect the price — article prices appear as
priceCentswhen you list a publication or search for posts. Clients can also inspect the authoritative price in the runtime402response before paying. - Pay & retrieve the summary — request a robust article summary using
x402 on Base or Solana, or MPP on Tempo or Stripe, or authenticate with
an API key backed by account credits. The first
successful pay unlocks that post forever for that Drip user (API key / JWT /
MCP OAuth share the same account) or wallet/MPP credential. x402 and MPP
clients should store
X-Drip-Unlock/unlockTokenfor free re-reads.
More discovery routes
Topic search is the default. These routes cover the other free questions:
Company lookup is an identity card, not article search. After you have a
ticker, use entity search for mentioning articles.
For ticker-level analyst calls, use
GET /api/v2/stock-picks (preferred) or
GET /api/v1/stock-picks. These return Stock Picks through
subscription access (V2) or per-request payment. A paid bundle does not grant
lifetime unlocks for its source posts.
Account, credits, and past purchases
API keys and MCP OAuth tokens for the same account share one Drip user. The account routes below reject session JWTs.
There is no top-up API — send users to
topUpUrl. Unlocks are metadata only;
the summary still comes from the paid post route.
Hosted MCP at https://dripstack.com/api/mcp mirrors the same HTTP routes
(search_posts, search_entities, search_companies, unlock_post, …).
Discovery tools need no auth; account and paid tools need OAuth or
