Connect your account to see real-time biddable prices, historical time-series data, and benchmark reports like 'The Officials' directly within your AI client. It handles the heavy lifting of querying complex energy symbols and swap settlements so you can focus on making trades. ## Overview - **Category:** data-analytics - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_Vgz0NidPoCkAYyRIozzjbgJDdJ51cV0jy413nDLz/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** energy-trading, market-data, real-time-pricing, commodities, financial-insights ## Description Imagine you're in the middle of a high-stakes trading session and need to know the current biddable price for a specific energy contract. Instead of switching tabs, logging into a separate dashboard, and filtering through rows of data, you just ask your AI client. This Connector pulls that information directly from your Flux Markets account. It's built for people who need to move fast. You can pull historical tickers to see how a market has behaved over months or grab a quick market snapshot to see the big picture across multiple symbols. It also handles the more specialized stuff, like pulling Commitment of Traders (COT) data to see where the big money is moving. Because Vinkius hosts this Connector, you can plug it into your existing workflow and start getting these insights in a natural conversation. You're no longer copy-pasting data into a spreadsheet; you're getting the answers you need exactly when you need them. ## Tools ### get_account_info Get account and API usage details.
