Trending Stories on Sanbase

Definition

Trending Stories surfaces the top narratives being discussed in social data over a given time range.

For each story the metric returns:

  • title — short human-readable headline
  • summary — a paragraph describing what the story is about, including explicit bullish and bearish takes
  • searchText — an OR-joined search query (e.g. solana OR chainlink OR tether) that can be used to pull the underlying social posts
  • score — trending score, used to rank stories in descending order
  • bullishRatio / bearishRatio — bullish/bearish sentiment ratios computed over the posts related to the story
  • relatedTokens — list of tokens in SYMBOL_slug form (e.g. BTC_bitcoin)

Access

The metric’s real-time data is free. The metric’s historical data has restricted access.


Measuring Unit

The score reflects how much social attention a story is getting. It has no absolute qualitative meaning — the higher the score, the more a given story is trending relative to the rest.

bullishRatio and bearishRatio are floats in the [0, 1] range describing the bullish/bearish sentiment split of the social posts related to the story.
