OKX News & Sentiment

Crypto news aggregation and coin sentiment analysis for OKX. All commands are read-only and require API credentials (OAuth2.1).

Capabilities

User Intent	Command
Latest/important news	okx news latest
Coin-specific news	okx news by-coin
Keyword news search	okx news search
Sentiment-filtered news	okx news by-sentiment
Full article content	okx news detail
Coin sentiment snapshot	okx news coin-sentiment
Sentiment trend	okx news coin-trend
Sentiment ranking	okx news sentiment-rank
News source list	okx news platforms

Prerequisites

1. Install okx CLI:

   npm install -g @okx_ai/okx-trade-cli
   

2. Configure credentials in ~/.okx/config.toml
3. Verify setup:

   okx news latest --limit 3
   

OKX News does not support demo mode. Always use --profile live silently — don't mention it unless there's an error.

On "not available in demo" errors: the user's current profile is configured with demo/simulated credentials. Tell the user: "News module does not support demo mode. Please switch to a live profile." Guide them to either:

• Use --profile live if a live profile exists: okx --profile live news latest
• Or create one: okx config add-profile AK=<key> SK=<secret> PP=<passphrase> name=live

All commands support --json for raw JSON output.

Intent → Command Mapping

Browse News

latest, by-coin, and search default --importance low, which returns all news (both high and low importance). Pass --importance high only when the user explicitly asks for major / breaking / important news. The dedicated okx news important command is a shortcut for that case.

User says	Command
"what's been happening in crypto lately" / "catch me up on recent news"	okx news latest
"any big news today" / "what are the major stories right now"	okx news important
"what happened in crypto yesterday"	okx news latest --begin <yesterday_0am> --end <today_0am>
"any news on BTC recently" / "what's going on with BTC"	okx news by-coin --coins BTC
"any major updates on ETH or SOL"	okx news by-coin --coins ETH,SOL --importance high

Search News

User says	Command
"any updates on the SEC ETF decision"	okx news search --keyword "SEC ETF"
"what's the latest on stablecoin regulation"	okx news search --keyword "stablecoin regulation"
"any news about the Bitcoin halving"	okx news search --keyword "Bitcoin halving"

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
"how has BTC sentiment changed over the past 24 hours"	okx news coin-trend BTC --period 1h --points 24
"show me BTC sentiment over the past week"	okx news coin-trend BTC --period 24h --points 7
"what's hot in crypto right now" / "which coins are getting the most attention"	okx news sentiment-rank
"which coins are people most excited about" / "top bullish coins"	okx news sentiment-rank --sort-by bullish
"which coins have the most negative sentiment"	okx news sentiment-rank --sort-by bearish

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 references/workflows.md — do NOT just pick a few coins to analyze.

Source-Filtered News

Use --platform to filter by news source directly. Always resolve the exact value from okx news platforms — do not guess platform identifiers from the user's wording.

User says	Command
"ChainCatcher 最近报道了什么" / "show me news from ChainCatcher"	okx news latest --platform <platform_id> --limit 10
"Odaily 有什么新闻" / "news from TechFlowPost"	okx news latest --platform <platform_id> --limit 10
"吴说区块链最近有什么" / "news from a specific outlet"	okx news latest --platform <platform_id> --limit 20

Important: When filtering by source, use a larger --limit (10–20) to maximize results, since individual sources typically have fewer articles than the aggregated feed. --importance low (the default) is the right setting here; do not narrow to --importance high.

Posting cadence is uneven across platforms. The API defaults --begin to 72 hours ago, which is too narrow for bursty sources and will often return 0 results. If a --platform-filtered query returns fewer than ~5 items (or 0), retry with --begin set to 7 days back, then 30 days back before concluding the source has no data. Resolve candidate platform IDs from okx news platforms; do not hardcode assumptions about which platforms are active.

Coin Symbol Normalization

The API only accepts standard uppercase ticker symbols (e.g. BTC, ETH, SOL). 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. The API default --begin window is only 72 hours, which alone accounts for many empty results. When a command returns empty or insufficient results, apply these steps in order — do not skip to web search:

1. If --platform was used — broaden --begin to 7 days back, then 30 days back, before changing anything else. Bursty sources routinely return 0 items in the default window but dozens over a wider range.
2. If --importance high was passed — drop it (default is already low = all news).
3. Broaden --begin / --end for any query (not just --platform) when a narrow time window is suspected.
4. Drop --coins to get general news if the coin-specific query yielded nothing.
5. Use web search as a supplement — search the web for "<topic> news site:coindesk.com OR site:cointelegraph.com OR site:theblock.co" to gather additional context, then combine with any OKX results into a unified briefing.
6. 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
• --platform queries where the chosen source has uneven posting cadence

Known Limitations

Source Coverage

Platform posting cadence varies and changes over time. Some sources publish many articles per day; others post in bursts with quiet stretches in between. A source returning few or zero articles in the default 72-hour window is not evidence that it is inactive — it may simply not have posted recently, or its recent posts may have been deduplicated out.

Before concluding a --platform-filtered query has no data:

1. Broaden --begin to 7 days back, then 30 days back, and retry.
2. If still empty after a 30-day window, report to the user that no recent articles were found for that source and suggest either removing --platform (to fall back to the aggregated feed) or web search.

Do not hardcode assumptions about which platforms are active — resolve candidates from okx news platforms and let the data speak.

Historical Search Limitations

okx news search and okx news by-coin primarily index recent articles (typically today and recent days). Searching with --begin/--end 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, okx news coin-trend (sentiment trend data) is more reliable than article search — it retains time-series data for longer periods.

Edge Cases

• Pagination: use --after <cursor> to get next page; cursor comes from nextCursor in response
• Time parameters: --begin / --end are Unix epoch milliseconds
• Coins format: comma-separated uppercase symbols, e.g. BTC,ETH,SOL — never pass full names or aliases
• coin-trend --points: always pass explicitly; 1h→24, 4h→6, 24h→7
• Language: inferred from user's message — --lang zh-CN for Chinese, --lang en-US for English (default)
• sentiment-rank --sort-by: hot=by mention count (default), bullish=most bullish, bearish=most bearish
