Latest sentiment
This endpoint retrieves current sentiment scores across all cryptocurrencies within the Guavy Index. Returns positive, negative, and neutral sentiment analysis aggregated from recent news coverage.
Use this endpoint to assess overall crypto market mood and compare against individual index sentiment to identify market-wide sentiment patterns and outliers.
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:
- Replace
YOUR-GUAVY-ACCESS-TOKENwith your personal API key from the Guavy dashboard - The URL includes the specific endpoint path shown in the documentation
- All requests use HTTPS for secure data transmission
curl --request GET \
--url 'https://api.guavy.com/api/v3/index/sentiment/latest' \
--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/jsonMIME type - Successful responses wrap data in a
Successobject - 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.
- Array responses are wrapped in an additional array layer.
An example of a successful response from this API endpoint is shown below:
{
"Success": [
{
"id" : integer
"name" : string
"positive" : integer
"negative" : integer
"neutral" : integer
"timestamp" : number
"date" : string
}
]
}
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.
