OKX News & Sentiment

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

Capabilities

Prerequisites

1. Install okx CLI:

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

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

``bash 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.

Quickstart

# Latest news
okx news latest --limit 5
 
# Today's important news
okx news important --begin $(date -d 'today 00:00:00' +%s000 2>/dev/null || date -v0H -v0M -v0S +%s000)
 
# BTC news
okx news by-coin --coins BTC
 
# Search for SEC ETF news
okx news search --keyword "SEC ETF"
 
# BTC sentiment overview
okx news coin-sentiment --coins BTC
 
# Trending coins (hottest right now)
okx news sentiment-rank

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.

Coin Sentiment Analysis

Sentiment Anomaly Detection (multi-coin)

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.

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.

               [--lang zh-CN|en-US] [--json]

okx news by-sentiment

Browse news filtered by sentiment (no keyword needed).

okx news by-sentiment --sentiment <bullish|bearish|neutral>

okx news platforms

List available news platforms. Use the returned values with --platform on latest, by-coin, or search commands to filter by source.

okx news platforms [--json]

okx news coin-sentiment

Get current sentiment snapshot for specific coins.

okx news coin-sentiment --coins <BTC,ETH,...>
               [--period 1h|4h|24h]  # aggregation granularity, default 24h
               [--json]

Returns: symbol, label (bullish/bearish/neutral/mixed), bullishRatio, bearishRatio, mentionCount.

okx news coin-trend

Get time-series sentiment trend for a coin. Note: uses positional arg (not --coins).

okx news coin-trend <coin>            # positional arg, e.g. BTC
               [--period 1h|4h|24h]  # aggregation granularity, default 1h

okx news sentiment-rank

Get coin ranking by social hotness or sentiment direction.

okx news sentiment-rank [--period 1h|4h|24h]
               [--sort-by hot|bullish|bearish]  # hot=by mentions (default), bullish, bearish

               [--json]

MCP Tool Reference

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
