Introduction

FinanceLab publishes news-based attention indices for market themes: how much of the day's news covers bank and financial stress, energy and oil risk, and crypto, indexed to 100 = the historical average, frozen at end-2025, with every spike traced to the headlines behind it. The indices are descriptive - a measure of news attention, not a trading signal.

Two endpoints, one API key:

• Indices - GET /api/v1/indexes returns the daily index series and the grounded spikes. Start here: Indexes API.
• Labeled news - GET /api/v1/news returns the feed underneath: every article we ingest from GDELT, labeled by relevance, domain, impact, region, and FinBERT sentiment.
