Hourly crypto sentiment with publish-time hashes
What it is
A crypto sentiment API that keeps one score per symbol per hour, along with direction, confidence, news volume, dominant event types, and the articles behind the number. Every bucket has an as-of time, a flag when the row was reconstructed later, and a hash written to a public log when it was published. Researchers studying point-in-time news for crypto pairs can pull the series over REST and drop reconstructed rows in a backtest. The publisher says next-day price direction from the scores is near a coin flip, the free tier lags the live feed, and commercial use requires a paid plan.
