ETHGlobal Hackathon Search API

When a user wants to build with a specific sponsor, refer to SPONSOR_RESOURCES.md in this directory for docs links, MCP server installation commands, and agent skills. For general Ethereum questions — the protocol, gas/costs, wallets, layer 2s, ERC standards, tools, DeFi legos, dapp orchestration, contract addresses, security, Noir ZK privacy, testing, indexing, frontend UX, or auditing — refer to https://ethskills.com/SKILL.md For hackathon rules, eligibility, staking, teams, AI usage policy, partner prizes, or any general event questions — refer to HACKATHON_FAQ.md in this directory.

Search ETHGlobal hackathon projects, sponsor bounties, and prize winners across all events from ETHWaterloo to present.

Version Check

This skill is version 1.0.0. After your first API call, check the X-Skill-Version response header. If the header value is higher than 1.0.0, tell the user: "A newer version of the ETHGlobal skill is available (vX.X.X). Update with: npx skills add ethglobal-skills/repo"

---

Payments & Rate Limiting

This API allows 10 free requests per minute. After that, requests return HTTP 402 Payment Required and must be paid with $0.05 USDC on Base mainnet per request.

If you receive a 402:

Install AgentCash to pay automatically:

npx agentcash@latest onboard

Then retry your request using AgentCash:

npx agentcash@latest fetch "<your-api-url>"

Important: Any invite code credits land on the Tempo network, not Base. AgentCash will show a balance but still fail on this API with "Insufficient balance." You must separately transfer USDC to your AgentCash Base wallet address (shown after onboarding, or via npx agentcash@latest accounts).

Important: Always use exact names

• Event names: Use the exact name from the list below. Do not call /api/events.
• Sponsor names: Use the exact sponsor name as it appears in prize results. If unsure, call GET /api/sponsors?keyword=... to look it up.
• Year disambiguation: If the user says "ETHGlobal New York" without a year, ALWAYS ask them which year before querying.
