# Degenscan Intel News – Asset Headlines by Ticker

> Degenscan Intel News – Asset Headlines by Ticker is a paid API for AI agents from intel.degenscan.io, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-01).

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability degenscan-intel-news-asset-headlines-by-ticker-52bdbf31
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest news headlines and sentiment scores for BTC from Degenscan Intel — show me source tier and corroboration on each item, last 20 stories.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, structured news pulse on a single asset including sentiment scoring and source credibility signals — especially useful before executing trades, screening for event risk, or monitoring a watchlist asset. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, tiered, and corroborated financial news with sentiment metadata rather than raw unstructured text. Choose it over broader market-event endpoints when your interest is a specific ticker rather than cross-asset aggregates.

## Known failure modes

- Ticker not recognized or unsupported returns empty result or 404
- HTTP 402 returned if no valid x402 payment is included — must pay 0.002 USDC per call
- No recent news available for obscure or illiquid assets
- Rate limiting if many tickers queried rapidly
- since parameter with invalid date format may return error or be ignored

## How this service works

Headlines touching one asset (press wires, releases, halts, hacks, media) with source tier, corroboration and a heuristic sentiment score (-1..1). Links only, no bodies.

## Output

A list of headline records for the specified ticker, each containing the article link (no body text), source tier rating, corroboration count (how many outlets picked it up), event class (press wire, release, halt, hack, media), and a heuristic sentiment score in the range -1 (very negative) to +1 (very positive).
