Social Stock Sentiment API
Social and news sentiment for stocks and prediction markets
What it is
A hosted REST API for stock and crypto sentiment drawn from Reddit, X, financial news, and Polymarket. Protected routes return JSON buzz, trend, and sentiment for a ticker or a small comparison set, and a Python command-line client can call the same routes after a key is issued. Analysts and developers who want social and news tone inside a screener or an assistant are the audience. Free accounts are limited to non-commercial use, cannot read raw mention text, and cannot call the direct text-sentiment endpoint, while how far back a query may look depends on the plan.
