Details
From the project READMEAuthentication
Nansen account API calls accept a selected nansen:api browser session or conventional API key with the same permissions. NANSEN_API_KEY takes precedence; optional primaryEnv preserves configured-key injection. Run nansen auth status for offline selection. Cached access expiry alone permits automatic renewal during an authorized task. Stop on anonymous selection, invalid state, blocked/uncertain renewal or actual auth failure; never drop a credential or fall back to anonymous x402 payment. Browser login does not grant wallet signing, privileged service identity or a persistent MCP integration key. Preserve all confirmation, signing, sanctions and geographic checks below. Browser login is available in CLI 2.0.0 within the macOS arm64 preview scope.
Web Fetch
Fetch and analyze content from one or more URLs using Gemini 2.5 Flash with URL context.
nansen web fetch https://nansen.ai --question "What products does Nansen offer?"
nansen web fetch --url https://example.com --url https://other.com --question "Compare these two sites"
nansen web fetch https://docs.uniswap.org/contracts/v4/overview --question "What changed in v4?"
Positional args and --url flags can be combined — all become URLs to fetch.
| Flag | Values | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
--url | URL | — | URL to fetch (repeatable for multiple URLs, up to 20) |
--question | string | required | Question to answer about the URL content |
--pretty | flag | off | Human-readable JSON |
Returns:
analysis— AI-generated answer to your questionretrieved_urls— URLs successfully fetchedfailed_urls— URLs that could not be retrieved
Tip: Combine with web search — search first to find relevant URLs, then fetch to get full content.
# Find and analyze in two steps
nansen web search "uniswap v4 launch" --num-results 3 --fields link
nansen web fetch https://blog.uniswap.org/... --question "What are the key changes?"
Note: 30s timeout. Paywalled or bot-blocked pages may appear in failed_urls.
