If you build trading bots or dashboards, two failure modes are expensive.
The problem
- Fake danger signals — a single tweet or low-quality feed claims a hack or depeg, your bot reacts, and it wasn't true.
- Blind spots on macro and regulation — a Fed decision or an SEC action moves the market and your news pipeline is late.
Most crypto APIs give you one global sentiment number and call it a day. I wanted something that (a) refuses to report an event unless multiple independent sources agree, and (b) watches the people and institutions that actually move crypto.
What Crypto Intel API does
- Per-coin DANGER score (0-100). Hacks, exploits, depegs, delistings and lawsuits are only reported when 2+ independent sources confirm them. Each event ships with a confidence and the source list.
- US market-movers feed. Real-time signals from the official Fed / SEC / Treasury / CFTC feeds plus Trump, each tagged bullish/bearish for crypto.
- Per-coin sentiment, Fear & Greed, whale transactions, prices and keyword news search — from 60+ sources.

How the cross-verification works
Each source has a trust weight. For a coin, the engine collects danger-keyword hits across all sources, counts the distinct sources, and marks an event verified only when at least 2 independent sources agree — with a confidence derived from how many sources and how trusted they are. That single rule is what keeps rumors out.
