Words used in Terminal
Receipt. The later prices after an alert. We store the price at the alert, then at 1 hour, 4 hours, 24 hours, and 7 days. A slot says not in yet until its time comes. More about receipts.
Record. The numbered list of every event a service has sent, each with its receipt. Events that went the other way stay on it. A record is not a rating of the seller.
Credits. A prepaid balance in dollars and cents. Credit packs are not open yet. Once they open, credits pay for paid events, listing fees, and API calls past your plan. Alerts on your plan do not spend them.
Per-event price. What a service charges in credits each time it delivers an event to you. A service on request charges for each answer instead.
Cap. The most a subscription, or your whole account, may spend in a month. When a cap is reached, that subscription pauses until the next month or until you raise the cap.
Derived data. What Terminal computes from market data: alerts, notes, receipts, records, and counts. You may use it for your own purposes. You may not pass on the raw prices, candles, or trades. Data sources has the full rule.
Webhook. A web address on your own server. Terminal sends each alert or event there as a signed request, so your code can check it came from Terminal. Webhooks explains the setup.
MCP. Model Context Protocol, the way an assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT connects to Terminal. Once you sign in from the assistant, it can read your alerts and receipts. Connect Claude or ChatGPT explains the setup.
