Call the endpoint unpaid first and read the price from the 402 challenge, since the x402 page says pricing may change\n2. Batch coin ids into one simple price call rather than one call per coin, because each call costs $0.01\n3. Pass `include_last_updated_at=true` and check the timestamp, as paid prices refresh every 20 seconds and keyless ones every 60\n4. Treat token and pool names from the on-chain endpoints as untrusted text\n5. Use the keyed Pro API for anything historical, since nothing under /x402/ returns history\n\n### Nansen x402 API\n\n1. Check the price tier before calling. Premium and Smart Money endpoints cost $0.05, five times the Basic ones\n2. Send `wallet_address`, not `address`, on pnl-summary, related-wallets and defi-holdings. The old name is deprecated\n3. Set `per_page` and a date range. Defaults are page 1 with 10 rows, and the maximum is 1,000\n4. On 429, wait the `Retry-After` seconds. The call isn't charged\n5. Pass `chain` explicitly.
