Articles

get
/api/v3/content/article/{article_id}

This endpoint retrieves comprehensive article data including full content, metadata, and AI-powered analysis.

Each article undergoes advanced natural language processing to extract meaningful insights. The response includes the complete article text, publication metadata, and detailed linguistic analysis including extracted nouns, action verbs, and cryptocurrency mentions.

Additionally, the source's credibility is evaluated and provided as a 'clout' score, while sentiment analysis determines the overall tone of the content.

To discover article IDs for use with this endpoint, query the content/latest or content/streams endpoints.

Path Parameters
article_id
string
required
specifies the id of the article to fetch

Example request with authentication

The example below demonstrates how to make an authenticated API request using cURL. All Guavy API endpoints require authentication via a Bearer token, which should be included in the Authorization header. This token identifies your account and determines your access level to various endpoints.

To use this example:

  1. Replace YOUR-GUAVY-ACCESS-TOKEN with your personal API key from the Guavy dashboard
  2. The URL includes the specific endpoint path shown in the documentation
  3. All requests use HTTPS for secure data transmission
curl --request GET \

--url 'https://api.guavy.com/api/v3/content/article/{article_id}' \

--header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR-GUAVY-ACCESS-TOKEN' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'

This request format works across all modern HTTP clients, including Python requests, JavaScript fetch, and other programming language libraries.

HTTP server response

The Guavy API uses standard HTTP response codes and JSON formatting for all responses. This consistent structure allows for predictable parsing and error handling in your applications.

Response Structure

All responses from the API are delivered as JSON objects with the following characteristics:

  • HTTP status codes indicate the result category (2xx for success, 4xx for client errors, 5xx for server errors)
  • Content is always delivered with the application/json MIME type
  • Successful responses wrap data in a Success object
  • Error responses include descriptive messages to help troubleshoot issues

A successful response will look like this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 30

{
    "Success": {
        // Response payload containing requested data
    }
}

For large responses, consider implementing pagination using the limit and skip parameters where available to improve performance.

API response format

The Guavy API generally follows REST conventions, with some deviations.

  • All responses are wrapped in a top-level object.
  • Responses return either `Success` or `Error`.
  • Errors include a message field with details about the error.
  • All responses use the generic JSON content type.

An example of a successful response from this API endpoint is shown below:

{
    "Success": 
      {
        "date" : number
        "title" : string
        "body" : string
        "clout" : number
        "nouns" : array
        "verbs" : array
        "mentions" : array
        "sentiment" : number
      }
    
}

Response data types

The table below details all data fields returned by this endpoint, including their types and descriptions. Understanding these fields is essential for properly integrating this API into your application and extracting meaningful data from responses.

API Limits

The Guavy API has a limit of 10 simultaneous connections. You'll receive a 429 error if you reach the limit. At exceptionally high volumes, you may receive an HTTP 429 or 403 without a JSON body.

We recommend that you cache frequently accessed values that do not change often in your application's data store. This will prevent your application from bumping up against the throttling limitations and will likely provide faster access to that data.

Account Limits

Your Guavy account will typically have a licensed limit of at least 100,000 API calls per month. In addition, there is a limit of 100,000 API calls per day. If you reach these limits, you will receive a 429 error.

Connection Timeouts

The Guavy API has a 120-second timeout on API calls. You may see this type of timeout after you've made a network socket connection and are already sending and receiving data.

Response times are dependent on the complexity of your request and the general load across Guavy. Some endpoints in the Guavy API return values that are large and slow to calculate.
