Money Methods - SkyTools API

All API requests require an X-API-Key header. Get your key from the Developer Dashboard.

curl -H "X-API-Key: sk_your_key_here" \
  "https://api.skytools.app/v1/..."

See Authentication for details on key formats and tier limits.

GET /v1/money-methods

Returns a curated list of SkyBlock money-making methods with coins/hour (cph) estimates. For methods backed by a bazaar item, cph is recomputed live from current bazaar prices; the rest fall back to hand-verified curated values. Cache: 1 minute

Query parameters

None.

Example

curl -H "X-API-Key: sk_your_key_here" \
  "https://api.skytools.app/v1/money-methods"

const response = await fetch("https://api.skytools.app/v1/money-methods", {
  headers: { "X-API-Key": "sk_your_key_here" },
});
const { data } = await response.json();
const top = data.methods.sort((a, b) => b.cph - a.cph)[0];
console.log(`Top method: ${top.name} — ${top.cph.toLocaleString()} coins/hr`);

Field	Type	Description
`methods`	array	The curated method list
`methods[].id`	string	Stable method identifier
`methods[].name`	string	Display name
`methods[].cat`	string	Category: `Combat`, `Slayers`, `Dungeons`, `Mining`, `Farming`, `Foraging`, `Fishing`, `Flipping`, or `AFK`
`methods[].cph`	number	Estimated coins per hour
`methods[].effort`	string	`Active`, `Semi-AFK`, or `AFK`
`methods[].capital`	number	Up-front coins required to start
`methods[].sustain`	number	Sustainability score (0–100) — how well the method holds up over time
`methods[].risks`	array	Risk tags (e.g. `bazaar`, `rng`, `crash`, `nerf`, `seasonal`)
`methods[].req`	object	Requirements: optional `sblvl`, `skills`, `networth`, `items`
`methods[].desc`	string	Short description
`methods[].bazaarBasis`	object?	Bazaar item the live `cph` is derived from (`id`, `unitsPerHour`), when applicable
`methods[].calc`	object?	Calculation breakdown: `summary`, `inputs`, optional `assumptions`, `sources`
`methods[].cphSource`	string?	`live` if `cph` was recomputed from current bazaar prices, else `curated`
`methods[].cphUpdatedAt`	number?	Unix ms timestamp of the live `cph` computation
`updatedAt`	number	Unix ms timestamp the dataset was assembled
`live`	boolean	`true` if at least one method’s `cph` was computed live
`liveCount`	integer	How many methods had a live `cph`

If the bazaar is temporarily unreachable, every method falls back to its curated cph and live will be false.
