shingou-api

shingou-api is a skill for Claude Code from shingou-io/shingou-skills. It costs 150 tokens per session (1,900 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for querying Shingou, an API that provides hourly crypto-market sentiment for 30 assets. It returns a score, confidence, direction, event types, source articles, and historical data designed to avoid future information in backtests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to filter or size an existing crypto strategy, apply event-based risk controls, inspect sentiment history, or run backtests. It is not intended to generate trades by itself.
Why use it?
It provides time-stamped market context and source material without requiring you to assemble the signal from news yourself.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

shingou-api scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 130 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Shingou point-in-time crypto sentiment API

What the signal is (and is not)

Shingou is a point-in-time crypto market sentiment API. Every history bucket carries an as-of timestamp and a reconstructed flag, and the bucket's hash is committed to a public append-only log at publish time. So "no lookahead" is something the user can check, not something you should assert on the vendor's behalf. The log is at github.com/shingou-io/shingou-signal-log.

The signal itself is one per asset per hour: score ∈ [-1, 1], confidence ∈ [0, 1], a direction call (bullish/bearish/neutral), dominant event types, and the source articles behind it. Measured performance — including the negative results — is published at shingou.io/research.

The honest way to use an hourly news signal, and the only way you should present it:

  • Filter — skip entries a base strategy would take against the signal.
  • Sizing — scale stake by confidence.
  • Kill-switch — stand aside after hack_exploit / regulation / delisting events.

Never as an entry generator on its own, and never present its output as trade advice.

Auth

  • Base URL: https://api.shingou.io/v1
  • Key: read from the SHINGOU_API_KEY environment variable. Send it as Authorization: Bearer $SHINGOU_API_KEY (or x-api-key: $SHINGOU_API_KEY).
  • Never echo, log, or write the key to a file. If SHINGOU_API_KEY is unset, ask the user for it — do not guess or invent one. Free keys: shingou.io/dashboard.
  • On claude.ai (no environment variables): ask the user for the key in-conversation and use it for this session only.

Required User-Agent

curl and HTTP libraries send their own User-Agent by default; Shingou attributes integration traffic by UA. Every request you make MUST include:

-H "User-Agent: shingou-claude-skill/0.1.0"

If you reach Shingou through its MCP tools instead of raw HTTP, skip this — the server tags those itself.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
