What's on the wire

Six desks, one feed.

Every desk below is a real, shipped part of the API — not a roadmap slide.

NEWS

Aggregated & tagged news

56 live-verified RSS sources, deduplicated and tagged by ticker, topic, and sentiment.

LIVE

Real-time article stream

A Server-Sent Events feed pushes the moment a new, relevant article is ingested.

MARKET

Price, OHLC & TA

Live prices for every major USDT pair, candles and 11 indicators — RSI, MACD, Ichimoku, and more — for 29 major pairs.

CHAIN

Whale tracking

A "whale" is a wallet moving a fortune in a single transaction. We watch Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana in real time and flag every transfer over $500k the moment it happens.

DIGEST

The Sundown Digest

One LLM-written prose summary of the day's top-clustered events, daily at 19:00 UTC.

SIGNAL

Event clustering & sentiment

Cross-source stories clustered into events; every ticker gets a daily −1 to +1 score.

One request, three languages

Wire straight into whatever you're running.

curl "https://free-api.news/v1/news?ticker=BTC&limit=1" \ -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
Live price feed, any USDT pair (Premium plan)
Connecting… BTC ETH

That's a real, live connection to this page — not a screenshot. Full product is a real WebSocket too, not polling: auth happens over the first message, never in the URL, so your key never lands in a proxy access log. Subscribe to any of ~700+ USDT pairs, not just the majors.

const ws = new WebSocket("wss://free-api.news/v1/stream/prices");

ws.onopen = () => ws.send(JSON.stringify({ type: "auth", apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY" }));

ws.onmessage = (event) => {
  const msg = JSON.parse(event.data);
  if (msg.type === "connected") {
    ws.send(JSON.stringify({ type: "subscribe", symbols: ["BTC"] }));
  }
  if (msg.type === "tick") {
    console.log(msg.symbol, msg.price); // "BTC" "64401.12000000"
  }
};
