What Aggregating Crypto News does

Aggregating Crypto News is a skill designed for developers and designers who need to monitor the rapidly changing landscape of cryptocurrency. This skill aggregates news from over 50 authoritative sources, including CoinDesk, CoinTelegraph, The Block, and Decrypt, ensuring you receive timely updates on market movements, regulatory changes, and coin-specific announcements. With real-time scanning capabilities, it allows users to filter news based on specific coins, categories, or timeframes, making it a versatile tool for anyone involved in the crypto space.

The skill operates through a series of Python scripts that utilize RSS feeds to pull in the latest articles. Users can easily run the aggregator with various command-line options to customize their news feed. Whether you want the latest updates on Bitcoin or insights into DeFi trends, this skill can be tailored to your needs. The results are presented in a clear format, showing the source, title, age, and relevance score of each article, helping users quickly identify important news.

For developers looking to integrate cryptocurrency news into their applications or for designers wanting to stay informed about market trends, this skill provides a straightforward solution. Additionally, the ability to export results in JSON format allows for further processing or integration into other systems, making it a valuable addition to any crypto monitoring toolkit.

With comprehensive error handling and detailed documentation, users can easily troubleshoot issues and optimize their news aggregation process. This skill is particularly useful for traders, analysts, and anyone who requires up-to-date information to make informed decisions in the fast-paced world of cryptocurrency.

Aggregating Crypto News

Overview

Aggregate cryptocurrency news from 50+ authoritative sources via RSS feeds with real-time scanning, coin/category filtering, and relevance scoring.

Prerequisites

  1. Python 3.8+ installed
  2. Dependencies: pip install feedparser requests
  3. Internet connectivity for RSS feed access

Instructions

  1. Assess user intent - determine filters needed:

    • General news: no filters, use defaults
    • Coin-specific: extract symbol (BTC, ETH, etc.)
    • Category-specific: extract category (defi, nft, regulatory, etc.)
    • Time-specific: extract window (1h, 4h, 24h, 7d)

  2. Run the aggregator with appropriate filters:

    # Default scan (top 20, past 24h, relevance sorted)
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/news_aggregator.py

# Coin-specific scan
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --coin BTC --period 4h

# Category filter
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --category defi --top 30

# Multiple filters
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --coin ETH --category defi --period 24h --top 15

  3. Export results for downstream processing:

    python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --format json --output news.json

  4. Present results to the user:

    • Show source, title, age, and relevance score
    • Highlight market-moving keywords if present
    • Provide links for full articles
    • Summarize meta information (sources checked, articles found)

Output

Table showing articles ranked by relevance score (0-100) based on market-moving keyword detection, source authority, and recency:
