How this service works
Market stress indicators: VIX volatility index, 10 year minus 2 year treasury yield curve spread, high yield credit spread, latest values and previous. JSON. Risk-off signal detection.
Output
A JSON object containing three sub-objects (vix, yield_curve_10y2y, hy_credit_spread), each with the latest and previous observations (date + numeric string value), the FRED series ID, and data source. Also includes a generated_at unix timestamp indicating when the payload was built.
Example use cases
Portfolio risk alert trigger setup
“Check the latest market stress indicators for me — if the VIX is spiking or the yield curve spread is tightening, I need to know right away so I can adjust our hedge positions.”
Real-time macro dashboard data feed
“Pull the current VIX level, 10Y-2Y spread, and high-yield credit spread so I can update our trading desk dashboard and see whether market conditions are shifting into risk-off mode.”
Intraday financial stress monitoring
“Give me a snapshot of today's market fear gauges — the VIX, the treasury yield curve spread, and HY credit spreads — so I can track whether financial stress is building or easing through the trading session.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://cycle-angela-lamp-hamburg.trycloudflare.com/api/macro/market-stressWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a quick, consolidated snapshot of the three canonical market stress gauges (VIX, yield curve, HY credit spread) in a single call. Prefer this over building your own FRED queries when you need real-time risk-off signal detection without managing multiple API keys or data sources. Ideal for macro dashboards, portfolio risk alerts, or agent-driven market condition checks.
Side effects
- FRED data source unavailable causing stale or missing readings
- Cloudflare tunnel downtime returning 5xx errors
- Payment not processed resulting in 402 response
- Data lag where latest observation is several days old due to FRED release schedule
- Numeric values returned as strings requiring client-side parsing
