Step 2: Make Your First Request

Let's get a complete DeFi credit profile for a whale wallet with $2.1B in positions:

curl -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.kixago.com/v1/risk-profile/0xf0bb20865277aBd641a307eCe5Ee04E79073416C"

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual key.

Response time: 1-5 seconds (first request), <100ms (cached)

Step 3: Understand the Response

You'll get a comprehensive JSON response:

{
  "wallet_address": "0xf0bb20865277aBd641a307eCe5Ee04E79073416C",
  "total_collateral_usd": 2139957718.47,
  "total_borrowed_usd": 1905081695.88,
  "global_health_factor": 1.067,
  "global_ltv": 89.02,
  "positions_at_risk_count": 2,
  
  "defi_score": {
    "defi_score": 467,
    "risk_level": "High Risk",
    "risk_category": "HIGH_RISK",
    
    "risk_factors": [
      {
        "severity": "critical",
        "factor": "Imminent Liquidation Risk",
        "description": "Health factor 1.067 means position will be liquidated if collateral value drops 6.7%"
      }
    ],
    
    "recommendations": {
      "immediate": [
        "🚨 URGENT: Deposit $381M more collateral OR repay debt to raise health factor above 1.5"
      ]
    },
    
    "liquidation_simulation": {
      "scenarios": [
        {
          "event": "Collateral drops 10%",
          "new_health_factor": 0.961,
          "status": "LIQUIDATED",
          "estimated_loss": "~$214M in liquidation penalties"
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  
  "lending_positions": [
    {
      "protocol": "Aave",
      "protocol_version": "V3",
      "chain": "Ethereum",
      "collateral_usd": 2077178086.09,
      "borrowed_usd": 1853661183.91,
      "health_factor": 1.065,
      "is_at_risk": true
    }
  ]
}

Key insights:

• DeFi Score: 467 = High Risk (like a FICO score)
• Health Factor: 1.067 = Liquidation if collateral drops 6.7%
• LTV: 89% = Extreme leverage
• Risk: CRITICAL = Immediate action needed

Step 4: Use It in Code

JavaScript/TypeScript

const KIXAGO_API_KEY = process.env.KIXAGO_API_KEY;

async function getRiskProfile(address) {
  const response = await fetch(
    `https://api.kixago.com/v1/risk-profile/${address}`,
    {
      headers: { 'X-API-Key': KIXAGO_API_KEY }
    }
  );
  
  return await response.json();
}

// Usage
const profile = await getRiskProfile('0xf0bb...');
console.log(`DeFi Score: ${profile.defi_score.defi_score}`);
console.log(`Risk Level: ${profile.defi_score.risk_level}`);

Authentication

Include your API key in the X-API-Key header:

curl -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.kixago.com/v1/risk-profile/0x..."

See all authentication methods →

---

Common Issues

❌ "missing or invalid API key"

Fix: Include the X-API-Key header in your request.

❌ "invalid address format"

Fix: Address must be 42 characters (0x + 40 hex) or a valid ENS name.

⚠️ Empty lending_positions

This is normal - the wallet has no DeFi positions.
