What You Can Build

​
Topic Tracking & Trend Detection

The Topics API identifies trending narratives and discussions in the crypto space. By monitoring this data, you can:
  • Identify emerging trends before they hit mainstream awareness
  • Track the lifecycle of crypto narratives from inception to maturity
  • Categorize discussions by topic classes (e.g., Protocol Updates, Regulatory News)
Our Daily Topics Showcase demonstrates this capability, presenting the most significant narratives each day, complete with popularity scores, sentiment analysis, and relevant assets. The showcase helps users understand which topics are driving the conversation, with the ability to filter between general market discussions and core signal events.

​
Influencer Analysis

The X-Users API tracks the crypto community’s most influential voices, measuring both their mindshare (overall influence) and engagement metrics (interactions with their content). With this data, you can:
  • Identify rising influencers in the crypto space
  • Track changes in an influencer’s engagement over time
  • Monitor which assets and topics key opinion leaders are discussing
Our Influencer Mindshare Leaderboard showcases this capability by ranking crypto influencers by their mindshare score. This tool helps identify which voices are currently shaping the crypto narrative and how their influence changes over time.

​
Sentiment Analysis

The Sentiment API analyzes the emotional tone of social media posts about crypto assets. This powerful capability allows you to:
  • Track shifts in market sentiment toward specific assets
  • Identify sentiment divergences that might indicate market turning points
  • Compare sentiment across different assets or time periods

​
Asset Attention Tracking

The Asset Mindshare API measures which assets are capturing the most attention from influential voices. With this data, you can:
  • Identify which assets are gaining or losing attention
  • Track mindshare shifts across different asset categories
