# Aggregate Crypto News

Multi-source cryptocurrency news aggregation system with AI-powered sentiment analysis, trend detection, and market impact prediction. Monitors 50+ crypto news sources, social media platforms, and official project announcements in real-time.

**Supported Sources**: CoinDesk, CoinTelegraph, Decrypt, The Block, Bitcoin Magazine, CryptoSlate, Twitter/X, Reddit, Medium, Telegram, Discord, official project blogs, SEC filings, exchange announcements

## When to Use This Command

Use `/aggregate-news` when you need to:

- Monitor breaking crypto news across multiple sources in real-time
- Analyze sentiment shifts before market movements
- Track specific coins, projects, or topics (DeFi, NFTs, regulation)
- Identify trending narratives and meme coins early
- Correlate news events with price movements
- Research fundamental analysis for trading decisions
- Monitor regulatory developments and exchange listings
- Track whale social media activity and influencer sentiment

**DON'T use this command for:**

- Single-source news reading - Use direct RSS feeds
- Historical price analysis - Use `/analyze-trends` instead
- On-chain data analysis - Use `/analyze-chain` instead
- Technical analysis - Use `/generate-signal` instead
- Real-time price tracking - Use `/track-price` instead

## Design Decisions

**Why Multi-Source Aggregation?**
Single sources have bias and delays. Aggregating 50+ sources provides complete market coverage and cross-verification of breaking news.

**Why Sentiment Analysis?**

- **AI sentiment chosen**: News sentiment predicts price movements 15-30 minutes before impact
- **Manual reading rejected**: Impossible to read 1000+ articles/day across sources

**Why Real-Time vs Hourly Digests?**

- **Real-time chosen**: Breaking news impacts prices within seconds (exchange hacks, regulations)
- **Hourly rejected**: 60-minute delays miss trading opportunities

**Why Deduplication?**

- **Deduplication chosen**: 50+ sources report same news, creates 80% redundancy
- **All articles kept rejected**: Would generate 5000+ alerts/day

**Why Market Impact Scoring?**

- **Scoring chosen**: Not all news is equally important (0-100 scale)
- **Equal weight rejected**: Treats minor updates same as exchange hacks

## Prerequisites

Before running this command, ensure you have:

1. **News API Access** (at least 3 recommended):
   - NewsAPI.org key (free: 100 requests/day, paid: unlimited)
   - CryptoCompare News API (free tier available)
   - CoinGecko News API (no key required, rate limited)
   - Alternative Data News API (premium)
   - Messari News API (enterprise)

2. **Social Media APIs**:
   - Twitter/X API v2 bearer token (Essential: $100/month)
   - Reddit API credentials (free with rate limits)
   - Telegram bot token (for channel monitoring)
   - Discord bot token + OAuth2 (for server monitoring)

3. **AI/ML Services** (choose one):
   - OpenAI API key (GPT-4 for sentiment: $0.03/1K tokens)
   - Anthropic Claude API key (recommended: $0.015/1K tokens)
   - Google Vertex AI credentials (PaLM 2)
   - Local sentiment model (FinBERT, CryptoBERT)

4. **Database** (for historical tracking):
   - PostgreSQL 13+ with pgvector (similarity search)
   - MongoDB 5+ (document storage)
   - Elasticsearch 8+ (full-text search, recommended)

5. **Infrastructure**:
   - Linux server (Ubuntu 20.04+) or Docker
   - 8GB RAM minimum (16GB for 50+ sources)
   - 500GB storage (6 months history)
   - Redis (for real-time caching and deduplication)

## Implementation Process

### Step 1: Configure News Sources

Create `config/news_sources.json`:

```json
{
  "sources": {
    "mainstream_crypto": [
      {
        "name": "CoinDesk",
        "type": "rss",
        "url": "https://www.coindesk.com/arc/outboundfeeds/rss/",
        "impact_weight": 1.0,
        "credibility": 0.95
      },
      {
        "name": "CoinTelegraph",
        "type": "rss",
        "url": "https://cointelegraph.com/rss",

        "min_followers": 10000,
        "verified_only": false,
        "impact_weight": 0.7,
        "credibility": 0.70
      },
      {
        "name": "CryptocurrencySubreddit",
        "type": "reddit",

        "name": "SEC_Filings",
        "type": "sec_rss",
        "url": "https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcurrent&CIK=&type=&company=bitcoin&dateb=&owner=exclude&start=0&count=40&output=atom",
        "impact_weight": 1.5,
        "credibility": 1.0
      }
    ]
  },
  "fetch_intervals": {

```json
{
  "provider": "anthropic",
  "model": "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
  "api_key_env": "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY",

  "sentiment_scale": {
    "very_bearish": -1.0,
    "bearish": -0.5,
    "neutral": 0.0,
    "bullish": 0.5,
    "very_bullish": 1.0
  },

  "entity_extraction": {
    "enabled": true,
    "categories": [
      "cryptocurrencies",
      "exchanges",
      "projects",
      "people",

      "events"
    ]
  },

  "market_impact": {
    "factors": [
      "source_credibility",
      "sentiment_strength",
      "entity_relevance",
      "social_engagement",
      "breaking_news_indicator"
    ],
    "weights": {
      "source_credibility": 0.3,
      "sentiment_strength": 0.25,
      "entity_relevance": 0.2,

      "breaking_news_indicator": 0.1
    }
  },

  "cache_ttl_seconds": 3600,
  "batch_size": 10
}
```

### Step 3: Initialize Database Schema

```sql
-- PostgreSQL with pgvector for semantic search
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector;

CREATE TABLE news_articles (
    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    article_id VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
    source VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
    source_type VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    title TEXT NOT NULL,
    content TEXT,
    summary TEXT,
    url TEXT UNIQUE NOT NULL,
    author VARCHAR(255),
    published_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
    fetched_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    language VARCHAR(10) DEFAULT 'en',

    -- Sentiment analysis
    sentiment_score FLOAT,
    sentiment_label VARCHAR(20),
    confidence FLOAT,

    -- Market impact
    market_impact_score INTEGER,
    impact_category VARCHAR(20),

    -- Engagement metrics
    social_shares INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
    comments_count INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
    engagement_score FLOAT,

    -- Vector embedding for similarity search
    embedding vector(1536),

    INDEX idx_published_at (published_at DESC),
    INDEX idx_source (source),
    INDEX idx_sentiment (sentiment_score),
    INDEX idx_impact (market_impact_score DESC)
);

CREATE TABLE article_entities (
    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    article_id INTEGER REFERENCES news_articles(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    entity_type VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    entity_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    entity_ticker VARCHAR(20),
    relevance_score FLOAT,
    sentiment_score FLOAT,
    INDEX idx_entity_name (entity_name),
    INDEX idx_entity_ticker (entity_ticker)
);

CREATE TABLE trending_topics (
    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    topic VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
    category VARCHAR(50),
    mention_count INTEGER DEFAULT 1,
    avg_sentiment FLOAT,
    market_impact_score INTEGER,
    first_seen TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    last_updated TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    is_trending BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
    INDEX idx_trending (is_trending, market_impact_score DESC)
);

CREATE TABLE article_duplicates (
    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    article_id INTEGER REFERENCES news_articles(id),
    duplicate_of INTEGER REFERENCES news_articles(id),
    similarity_score FLOAT,
    detected_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    INDEX idx_article (article_id)
);

-- Elasticsearch index mapping (alternative/complement)
-- Run via Elasticsearch REST API
PUT /crypto_news
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "title": {"type": "text", "analyzer": "english"},
      "content": {"type": "text", "analyzer": "english"},
      "source": {"type": "keyword"},
      "published_at": {"type": "date"},
      "sentiment_score": {"type": "float"},
      "market_impact_score": {"type": "integer"},
      "entities": {
        "type": "nested",
        "properties": {
          "name": {"type": "keyword"},
          "type": {"type": "keyword"},
          "sentiment": {"type": "float"}
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Step 4: Run News Aggregator

Execute the aggregation script:

```bash
# Start real-time aggregation (all sources)
python3 news_aggregator.py --sources-config config/news_sources.json \
    --sentiment-config config/sentiment_config.json \
    --min-impact 40 \
    --deduplicate

# Monitor specific topics
python3 news_aggregator.py --topics "Bitcoin,Ethereum,DeFi" \
    --alert-threshold 70

# Export to webhook
python3 news_aggregator.py --webhook-url https://your-api.com/news \
    --format json \
    --interval 300

# Generate daily digest
python3 news_aggregator.py --digest daily \
    --email your@email.com \
    --top-stories 20
```

### Step 5: Set Up Monitoring Dashboard

Create Elasticsearch/Kibana dashboard for visualization:

```yaml
# docker-compose.yml
version: '3.8'
services:
  elasticsearch:
    image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.11.0
    environment:
      - discovery.type=single-node
      - xpack.security.enabled=false
    ports:
      - "9200:9200"
    volumes:
      - es_data:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data

  kibana:
    image: docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:8.11.0
    ports:
      - "5601:5601"
    depends_on:
      - elasticsearch

  redis:
    image: redis:7-alpine
    ports:
      - "6379:6379"
    volumes:
      - redis_data:/data

volumes:
  es_data:
  redis_data:
```

## Output Format

The command generates 5 output files:

## Error Handling

| Error Type | Detection | Resolution | Prevention |
|------------|-----------|------------|------------|
| RSS feed timeout | Connection timeout (30s) | Skip source, continue with others | Implement per-source timeout, retry mechanism |
| API rate limiting (Twitter) | HTTP 429 response | Exponential backoff (1min, 5min, 15min) | Track rate limits, stagger requests |
| Sentiment API failure | HTTP 5xx or timeout | Use fallback rule-based sentiment | Implement circuit breaker, local model fallback |
| Database connection lost | psycopg2.OperationalError | Reconnect with exponential backoff | Connection pooling, health checks |
| Duplicate article detection | Identical URL or 85%+ title similarity | Skip article, log duplicate | Redis caching with 24h TTL |
| Invalid RSS/JSON | Parsing exception | Log error, skip source | Validate feed structure before parsing |
| Memory overflow | RSS feed >100MB | Stream parsing, limit entries | Limit feed size, process in batches |
| Stale feed data | Last update >24h old | Alert admin, skip source temporarily | Monitor feed freshness, automated source health checks |

## Best Practices

### DO:

- ✅ Aggregate from 20+ sources minimum for comprehensive coverage
- ✅ Implement deduplication (80% of news is duplicated across sources)
- ✅ Use AI sentiment analysis (>80% accuracy with GPT-4/Claude)
- ✅ Cache sentiment results (1h TTL) to reduce API costs
- ✅ Monitor source reliability and adjust weights dynamically
- ✅ Store historical data for backtesting sentiment signals
- ✅ Implement rate limiting per source to avoid bans
- ✅ Use Redis for real-time caching and deduplication
- ✅ Alert only on high-impact news (score >80) to avoid fatigue
- ✅ Track correlation between sentiment shifts and price movements

### DON'T:

- ❌ Rely on single news source - creates blind spots
- ❌ Skip sentiment analysis - raw news requires manual interpretation
- ❌ Process articles synchronously - too slow for real-time
- ❌ Store unlimited history - database bloat (180 days max)
- ❌ Alert on every article - causes notification fatigue
- ❌ Ignore social media - often breaks news before mainstream
- ❌ Trust sentiment without context - consider source credibility
- ❌ Forget deduplication - wastes 80% of processing
- ❌ Use outdated articles - mark stale news (>24h) clearly
- ❌ Hardcode source URLs - sources change frequently

## Performance Considerations

- **Fetch Latency**: Async concurrent fetching - 50 sources in <30s
- **Sentiment Processing**: Batch processing (10 articles) - ~5s per batch with Claude
- **Deduplication**: Redis O(1) lookup - <1ms per article
- **Database Writes**: Batch inserts (100 articles) - ~200ms
- **Memory Usage**: ~4GB for 10K articles in memory + Redis cache
- **API Costs**:
  - Claude Sentiment: $0.015/1K tokens = ~$0.002 per article
  - Twitter API: $100/month for 2M tweets
  - NewsAPI: Free tier sufficient for testing

**Optimization Tips:**

1. Use Redis for hot cache (recent articles, sentiment results)
2. Implement connection pooling for database (10-20 connections)
3. Process sentiment in batches of 10 to maximize throughput
4. Use Elasticsearch for full-text search instead of PostgreSQL LIKE queries
5. Archive articles >90 days to cold storage (S3/Glacier)

## Security Considerations

- **API Key Management**: Store in environment variables, rotate quarterly
- **Rate Limiting**: Respect source rate limits to avoid bans
- **Input Validation**: Sanitize all HTML/text before storage (XSS prevention)
- **URL Validation**: Verify URLs before storage, block malicious domains
- **Database Access**: Read-only user for analytics, write user for aggregator only
- **Content Filtering**: Filter spam, advertisements, malicious links
- **Error Disclosure**: Don't expose internal system details in logs
- **Webhook Security**: Use HMAC signatures for alert webhooks
- **Compliance**: GDPR-compliant data retention (180 days), user data anonymization
- **Monitoring Access**: Require authentication for dashboards
