Coin Sentiment Analysis
| User says | Command |
|---|
| "is the market bullish or bearish on BTC right now" / "how do people feel about BTC" | okx news coin-sentiment --coins BTC
|
| "compare how people feel about ETH vs SOL" | okx news coin-sentiment --coins ETH,SOL
|

|

Sentiment Anomaly Detection (multi-coin)
| User says | Workflow |
|---|
| "哪些币种情绪变化最大" / "any sentiment anomalies" / "which coins flipped sentiment" | → Anomaly Detection workflow |
| "过去一周有什么异动" / "sudden sentiment shifts" / "sentiment reversal" | → Anomaly Detection workflow |
| "有没有突然转看涨/看跌的" / "any coins turning bullish/bearish" | → Anomaly Detection workflow |
These queries require a
broad-then-deep approach: first scan all coins for anomalies, then deep-dive with news correlation. Follow the multi-phase workflow in
— do NOT just pick a few coins to analyze.
Source-Filtered News
Use
to filter by news source directly. Get available source names from
first.
| User says | Command |
|---|
| "ChainCatcher 最近报道了什么" / "show me news from ChainCatcher" | okx news latest --platform chaincatcher --importance low --limit 10
|
| "Odaily 有什么新闻" / "news from techflowpost" | okx news latest --platform odaily_flash --limit 10
|
| "吴说区块链最近有什么" / "BWE news" | okx news latest --platform wushou --importance low --limit 20
|
Important: When filtering by source, always use
and a larger
(10-20) to maximize results, since individual sources typically have fewer articles than the aggregated feed. The
parameter accepts values from
(e.g.
,
,
,
,
,
,
,
).

Coin Symbol Normalization
The API only accepts standard uppercase ticker symbols (e.g.
,
,
). Users may refer to coins by full names, abbreviations, slang, or local-language nicknames. Always resolve these to the correct ticker before passing to any command. If the intended coin is ambiguous, ask the user to confirm before querying.
Empty Results & Web Search Fallback
OKX news data may be sparse for niche coins or highly specific keyword searches. When a command returns empty or insufficient results:
- Retry with relaxed filters — remove , broaden /, or drop to get general news
- Use web search as a supplement — search the web for
"<coin> news site:coindesk.com OR site:cointelegraph.com OR site:theblock.co"
- Be transparent — tell the user which results came from OKX API vs. web search so they can judge source credibility
This fallback is especially valuable for:
- Coins with low coverage (e.g. newly listed tokens)
- Highly specific keyword searches with no matches
Known Limitations
Source Coverage
Not all registered platforms in
are actively producing articles. Based on recent evaluation, the consistently active sources are:
| Source | Status | Notes |
|---|
| Active | High volume |
| Active | High volume |
| Active | Medium volume |
| Active | Medium volume |
| Low activity | Few articles per week |
| Inconsistent | Registered but rarely appears in aggregated results; dedup issues |
| Inactive | Registered but no articles found in 90+ days |
| Inactive | Registered but no articles found in 90+ days |
When a user asks for news from an inactive source, do NOT retry repeatedly or page through hundreds of articles looking for it. Instead, report that the source currently has no data and suggest alternatives (other active sources or web search).
Historical Search Limitations
and
primarily index
recent articles (typically today and recent days). Searching with
/
for dates more than ~7 days ago may return empty results even if articles existed at that time. This is an API indexing limitation, not a data absence.
For historical analysis,
(sentiment trend data) is more reliable than article search — it retains time-series data for longer periods.
Edge Cases
- Pagination: use to get next page; cursor comes from in response
- Time parameters: / are Unix epoch milliseconds
- Coins format: comma-separated uppercase symbols, e.g. — never pass full names or aliases
- coin-trend : always pass explicitly; 1h→24, 4h→6, 24h→7
- Language: inferred from user's message — for Chinese, for English (default)
- sentiment-rank : =by mention count (default), =most bullish, =most bearish
