Stop trading on fake crypto signals: a free API with cross-verified danger scores + Fed/Trump tracking

If you build trading bots or dashboards, two failure modes are expensive.

The problem

  1. Fake danger signals — a single tweet or low-quality feed claims a hack or depeg, your bot reacts, and it wasn't true.
  2. 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.

Try it (free tier)

Per-coin risk and the confirmed event behind it:

curl "https://crypto-intel-api-rulu.onrender.com/risk?symbol=BTC"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
{
  "symbol": "BTC",
  "risk_score": 45,
  "chg_24h": 1.26,
  "danger_event": {
    "event": "legal", "confidence": 0.75, "verified": true,
    "sources": ["CoinDesk", "Decrypt"], "source_count": 2
  },
  "global_risk": "NORMAL"
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

What the Fed / SEC / Treasury / Trump are doing to crypto right now:

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.
