Paste one prompt into your coding agent to find where NGX market data would replace hardcoded values, scrapers, or manual calculations in your codebase.
This page gives your coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) a single prompt that installs the NGN Market skill, scans your repository for integration opportunities, and proposes changes without editing anything until you approve.
1
Sign up
Create a free account at ngnmarket.com and verify your email. You can use the free plan for basic integrations, but most endpoints require a paid plan.
2
Copy your key from the dashboard
After signing in, go to your developer dashboard and copy your API key. It looks like ngm_live_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.
Your API key on the developer dashboard
3
Expose it as an environment variable
Store your API key in an environment variable called NGNMARKET_API_KEY. For example, on macOS or Linux:
Run your agent in the repo you want scanned, then paste this in.
Paste this into your agent’s chat, in the repo you want scanned.
Install and use the NGN Market API skill, then audit this repository for placeswhere it should replace what's currently there. Follow these steps in order:1. Confirm an NGNMARKET_API_KEY environment variable is set. If it isn't, stop and tell me to get one from https://ngnmarket.com/developer before continuing.2. Install the skill file by following https://docs.ngnmarket.com/install-skill (prefer `npx skills add -g https://docs.ngnmarket.com/skill.md` if the `skills` CLI is available; otherwise use the manual curl install for whichever agent you are).3. Scan this repository for NGX/Nigerian-market data patterns that the API could replace. Look specifically for: - Hardcoded stock prices or static price objects (e.g. sample NGX tickers with fixed prices in fixtures, seed data, or demo components) - Static JSON shaped like OHLCV history (arrays/objects with open, high, low, close, volume, or timestamp + price fields for a stock symbol) - Manually maintained lists of NGX companies, sectors, or tickers - Homegrown NGN/USD (or other currency) conversion math, or a hardcoded exchange rate constant - Manually typed or manually updated dividend dates/calendars - Scraped or manually sourced company logos for NGX-listed tickers - Custom sorting/filtering logic that recomputes "top gainers" or "top losers" from raw price data - Hand-parsed NGX news, press releases, or corporate disclosure text4. For each match, report: the file and line number, what it's currently doing, which NGN Market API endpoint would replace it (from the skill's recipe table), which plan tier that endpoint requires, and a one-line reason it's a better approach (freshness, correctness, maintenance cost). Present this list and WAIT for my approval — do not edit any files yet.5. Once I approve (whether that's "do all of them", specific items, or none), make only the approved changes. If nothing in this repo matches, or after you're done, suggest 3-5 concrete integrations and 2-3 side-project ideas that would make sense given this codebase's actual stack and purpose.

Review before it edits anything
The prompt is written to stop and show you its findings first. Expect a list like:
src/data/demo-prices.json:1-40 — hardcoded prices for 12 NGX tickers → replace with GET /companies (free plan) → reason: demo data goes stale; live endpoint always currentsrc/lib/convertNaira.js:8 — hardcoded USD/NGN rate (1500) → replace with GET /forex/current (free plan) → reason: fixed rate drifts from the real exchange rate daily
Approve what you want, skip the rest. Your agent should not touch anything you didn’t sign off on.
This scans for patterns, not exact matches. Review every suggestion before approving. The agent has no special access to your code beyond what it can already read; nothing is uploaded or shared with NGN Market.
