What households in each economy expect for prices and for the wider economy — the OECD consumer surveys as an API, live, no key. Every month consumers are asked whether they expect prices to rise faster or slower over the year ahead, and whether they think the general economic situation will improve or worsen. The OECD harmonises the answers into balances — the share answering up/better minus the share answering down/worse, on a scale around zero. Consumer inflation expectations are one of the most closely watched soft indicators in central banking: if households start expecting higher inflation, they bring forward purchases and demand higher wages, which can make inflation self-fulfilling, so policymakers track whether expectations stay anchored. The economic-situation balance is the household read on where the economy is heading, and it leads consumer spending. The inflation endpoint ranks every economy by its consumer inflation-expectations balance — where households most expect prices to climb. The economy endpoint ranks by the economic-situation outlook. The country endpoint gives one economy's inflation and economic-situation balances side by side with the month-on-month change. Each reading carries its own month and discontinued series are excluded, so the board is genuinely current. The consumer-survey / inflation-expectations cut — distinct from the composite Business & Consumer Confidence board (which gives only the headline confidence index, not the inflation-expectations component), the manufacturing business-survey board, the realised-inflation feeds, and the generic multi-provider data aggregator. Balances are in percentage points; figures are monthly.

How optimistic the firms and households of each economy are right now — the OECD Business and Consumer Confidence Indicators as an API, live from the OECD's official statistics, no key. Confidence is soft data: it comes from monthly surveys asking businesses about orders, output and expectations, and consumers about their finances and the outlook, and it moves before the hard data does, which makes it one of the most-watched early reads on demand. The OECD standardises both into amplitude-adjusted indices that oscillate around 100 — above 100 means confidence is above its long-term average (optimism), below 100 means below average (pessimism) — and the direction (rising or falling) tells you whether sentiment is improving or deteriorating. The business endpoint returns the Business Confidence Indicator (BCI) for every economy the OECD tracks (and the aggregates — G7, G20, OECD, the euro area), ranked, each with its current value, month-on-month change, optimism/pessimism reading and direction. The consumer endpoint returns the Consumer Confidence Indicator (CCI) the same way. The country endpoint puts both side by side for one economy — the firm view and the household view together, with a combined read. Discontinued series are excluded and each reading carries its own period, so the board is genuinely current. The survey-based confidence / soft-data cut — distinct from the OECD composite-leading-indicator board (a different measure built to lead GDP), from the bond-yield and inflation boards, and from the generic multi-provider data aggregator. Figures are monthly; this is the sentiment lens on the world's economies.

The normalised Commitments-of-Traders positioning signal traders actually act on, computed live from the US CFTC public reporting API — no key. A raw COT net-position number means little on its own: "large speculators are +176,020 contracts net long gold" tells you nothing until you know whether that is high or low versus history. The COT Index fixes that by normalising each trader group's current net futures position to a 0-100 percentile over a lookback window (the classic Larry Williams 156-week / three-year COT Index): 100 = the most net-long that group has been in the window, 0 = the most net-short. Above 80 marks a crowded long extreme (contrarian bearish), below 20 a crowded short extreme (contrarian bullish). The index endpoint returns one market's COT Index for both the large speculators (non-commercials) and the commercial hedgers, with the current net, the window min/max, the week-over-week change and an extreme flag. The screener endpoint computes the index across a curated set of 17 FX, stock-index, metal, energy and grain futures and ranks them, surfacing which markets sit at a positioning extreme right now. This is the normalised positioning-signal cut — distinct from the raw COT-report feed (which serves the weekly long/short contract counts), and from the price, open-interest and options-positioning APIs. It turns the report into the signal.

One number that tells you whether crypto capital is rotating into altcoins or huddling in Bitcoin, computed live from Binance daily candles (no key, nothing stored). The market swings between two regimes: in "altcoin season" most alts outperform Bitcoin and money chases the long tail; in "Bitcoin season" alts bleed against BTC and capital flees to the majors. The classic gauge is simple — of the top altcoins, what share has outperformed Bitcoin over the last 90 days? Above ~75% it is altcoin season; below ~25% it is Bitcoin season. The index endpoint returns that index (0-100), the season label, Bitcoin's own return over the window and how many alts out- versus under-performed. The leaderboard endpoint ranks the alts by their excess return versus Bitcoin — who is leading the rotation and who is lagging — each with its own return, BTC's return and the gap. The coins endpoint lists the universe. The altcoin-season / alt-vs-BTC rotation cut — distinct from the market-cap-dominance and global-market APIs (which report BTC's share of total cap, not relative performance), the single-coin momentum and the price APIs. It answers whether it is altseason, not what the market cap is.

How crypto's biggest, most-capitalised futures traders are positioned versus the retail crowd — and the divergence between them — computed live from Binance's public futures positioning feed (no key, nothing stored). Binance splits its perpetual traders into the whole crowd and the "top traders" (the top ~20% of accounts by margin balance, a smart-money proxy) and publishes the long/short split of each. When smart money leans one way while the crowd leans the other, that gap is a classic contrarian signal: an over-long retail crowd the big accounts are quietly fading often marks a local top, and vice versa. The positioning endpoint returns, for a coin, the long/short ratio and long-share of three cohorts side by side — the global crowd, the top traders by account, and the top traders by position size. The divergence endpoint returns the smart-money-minus-retail gap with a plain-language read. The history endpoint returns the time-series across 5m to 1d buckets so you can watch the gap open and close. The smart-money-versus-retail / positioning-divergence cut for crypto — distinct from the single-cohort long/short-ratio feed, the funding-rate, open-interest and price APIs. It tells you who is on which side, not just how many are long.

The single headline gauge of how the crypto options market is positioned, computed live from Deribit's public option book — no key, nothing stored. The put/call ratio is the amount of put activity divided by call activity: a low ratio means the market is loaded with calls (bullish, greedy positioning), a high ratio means puts dominate (hedging, fear). The ratio endpoint returns, for a currency (BTC or ETH), the market-wide put/call ratio computed two ways — by open interest (the standing positioning) and by 24-hour volume (today's flow) — with the call and put totals, the spot index and a plain-language sentiment label. The expiries endpoint breaks the put/call ratio down by expiry, revealing the term structure of sentiment: whether hedging is concentrated in the near term or further out. This is the aggregate options put/call sentiment cut for crypto — distinct from the US-equity put/call API (a different market), the max-pain / open-interest positioning view, the implied-vol skew surface and the gamma-exposure APIs in the catalogue. Below roughly 0.7 is call-heavy and bullish, above 1.0 put-heavy and defensive; it is most useful read as a contrarian gauge. Currency is BTC or ETH, the two assets Deribit lists liquid options for.

The tickers people are actually searching for right now, served from Yahoo Finance's public trending feed. This is an attention and retail-interest signal, not a price-mover list: the trending endpoint returns the most-searched symbols in a region (US, UK, Germany, France, India, Brazil and more), and enriches each one with its live price, day change and exchange — so you see what is grabbing attention and how it is moving. The ticker endpoint answers the question "is this symbol trending right now, and where does it rank". The regions endpoint lists the supported markets. This is the search-attention / sentiment data-cut for stocks — what retail is watching — distinct from the price-based market-movers, the live-quote and the intraday-candle APIs in the catalogue. Trending reflects search interest and shifts through the trading day. Live, no key on the upstream, nothing stored.

Live (15-minute delayed) options put/call sentiment analytics for US stocks and indices, computed from CBOE's public delayed-quotes feed. The ratio endpoint aggregates the entire option chain into the headline sentiment gauges — the put/call ratio by volume and by open interest, the total put and call volume and open interest, the contract counts, and the underlying price with its 30-day implied volatility (IV30) — plus a plain-language sentiment lean. The expiries endpoint breaks the put/call ratio down by expiration date, giving the term structure of sentiment. The strikes endpoint maps call-versus-put volume and open interest across strikes for an expiration, showing where positioning sits. This is the computed options-sentiment and positioning view — ratios and skew, not a contract dump — distinct from the raw options-chain, the volatility-index and the options-pricing calculators in the catalogue. US index options use an underscore-prefixed symbol (_SPX, _VIX); a ratio above 1 means more puts than calls (defensive/bearish lean). Live, no key on the upstream, nothing stored.

Live CNN Fear & Greed Index for the US stock market — no key, nothing stored. The equity-market sentiment gauge: a single 0–100 score (0 = extreme fear, 100 = extreme greed) built from seven market indicators, distinct from the crypto Fear & Greed index in the catalogue. The index endpoint returns the headline score and rating plus the previous close and the readings one week, one month and one year ago, so you can see how sentiment has shifted. The components endpoint breaks the index into its seven underlying indicators — market momentum, stock-price strength, stock-price breadth, put/call options, market volatility (VIX), junk-bond demand and safe-haven demand — each with its own score and fear/greed rating, so you can see what is actually driving sentiment. The history endpoint returns the daily score timeline for the last year. Build market-sentiment dashboards, contrarian-signal bots, risk dashboards and newsletter widgets on top of the most-watched sentiment gauge in equities. Score bands: 0–24 extreme fear, 25–44 fear, 45–55 neutral, 56–75 greed, 76–100 extreme greed.

Live Commitments of Traders (COT) futures-positioning data, served straight from the US CFTC's public reporting API — no key, nothing cached. Every Friday the Commodity Futures Trading Commission publishes who is positioned how in every major futures market — currencies, stock indices, energy, metals, grains — and traders watch it closely as a sentiment and crowding signal. The report endpoint takes a market name (Euro FX, Gold, Crude Oil, S&P 500, Bitcoin) and returns the latest weekly report: how many long and short contracts are held by commercials (the hedgers), by non-commercials (the large speculators) and by small non-reportable traders, the net position of each group, the total open interest, each group's share of open interest, the week-over-week change and the number of traders — Gold shows commercials net short while large speculators run net long.
