Data matters when you’re a crypto…

  1. Exchange looking to differentiate
  2. Fund investing on behalf of clients
  3. Custom app, news site, or blog building for attention

…and real-time data matters even more.

Seconds matter. At LunarCRUSH, we help cryptocurrency investors make better investment decisions. Unlike conventional stock markets, cryptocurrencies do not have earnings reports, traditional analysis like price to earnings ratios, or management. And markets are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

In order to access a cryptocurrency’s value, you must identify the momentum the project is building. How do you access that momentum? The community tells you. The size and breadth of the communication happening across social channels is a key indicator of whether or not the asset is gaining momentum.

When social media starts heating up, you need to make decisions, and you need to make them fast.

For our professional and institutional customers, we are happy to announce the launch of LunarSTREAM™, WebSocket API giving you access to every single piece of our social data in real-time. No more API calls. A waterfall of data is coming your way.

That waterfall of social data is full of mentions across over 2,000 cryptocurrencies. By leveraging LunarSTREAM™, you now have the flexibility to react immediately to news as it happens.

How does it work? We aggregate over 250,000 pieces of content across social media every day. In real-time, those 250,000 pieces of content are cleaned for spam, organized by coin, and analyzed for sentiment by our hand-trained machine learning models.

“Hand-trained” needs an explanation. The language in the cryptocurrency market is unlike any other market. When someone mentions the not yet Merriam-Webster’s word “rekt” like in the comment below, along with “$btc” it has a negative sentiment. Any off the shelf natural language library is not trained on this behavior:

At LunarCRUSH, we’ve spent two years training our models to recognize crypto-specific language. So when you say, “Monero is mooning.” We know you are bullish:

As LunarSTREAM™ delivers this crypto-specific, spam-free, multi-year machine trained sentiment, project delineated data…you have the ability to:

  1. Build industry-leading data-driven trading algorithms for your fund
  2. Integrate all 15 LunarCRUSH indicators into your cryptocurrency exchange charting solution like TradingView, giving your customers access to the best research tools available in the crypto space today

We’re not done yet.

Along with releasing LunarSTREAM™, we have revamped all of our developer tools by upgrading our Widget Library, the LunarCRUSH API and also open-sourced an implementation of LunarSTREAM™ into TradingView. With beautiful new documentation, standing up social insights on your news site, blog, or exchange has never been easier.

WIDGETS

There has never been an easier way to keep your users informed and increase engagement on your site. With the LunarCRUSH Widget Library, you have access to all of our social indicators, including top-rated Social Volume and Social Engagement, and you have it across the entire cryptocurrency market. Simply grab a code snippet and you are off and running.
