## What It Does
APEX system heartbeat — confirms live trading is active and healthy. This signal is computed in real time from APEX Runner's live autonomous trading system operating across Kraken, Coinbase Advanced Trade, and Hyperliquid — not from backtests or third-party aggregators.

## When to Use
- To verify APEX is live before relying on its signals
- Inside health-check workflows
- To confirm signal freshness before trading

## How to Use
The agent makes an x402-authenticated GET request to:

```
https://apexrunner.ai/signals/apex-pulse
```

The x402 client handles payment authorisation automatically. No API key, no account, no subscription required — just an EVM wallet with USDC on Base mainnet.

```python
# Example using the x402-python client
from x402.client import x402_get

response = x402_get(
    url="https://apexrunner.ai/signals/apex-pulse",
    private_key=os.environ["EVM_PRIVATE_KEY"]
)
print(response.json())
```

## Example Response
```json
{
  "status": "LIVE",
  "regime": "RANGING",
  "market": "OPEN",
  "fg": 42,

  "active_pairs": 11,
  "timestamp": "2026-06-23T14:00:00Z",
