Pay-per-call crypto & tech news headlines with sentiment via x402 on Base.
What it does
The Gloria News API is an x402-enabled endpoint that returns the latest news headlines across 16 crypto, finance, and tech categories. Each call delivers up to 10 headlines enriched with sentiment analysis (signal, sentiment label, and numeric sentiment value), short and long context summaries, source links, related token tickers, and tweet URLs when available.
The endpoint accepts a required `feed_categories` query parameter — a comma-separated list drawn from: ai, ai_agents, base, bitcoin, crypto, dats, defi, ethereum, hyperliquid, machine_learning, macro, perps, rwa, ripple, solana, and tech. Optional `from_date` and `to_date` parameters (YYYY-MM-DD) let callers narrow the time window. The response is a JSON array of headline objects.
Payment is settled on Base via USDC (contract 0x8335…2913) using the x402 "exact" scheme. The maximum amount required per call is 30,000 base units, which equals $0.03 USD (USDC uses 6 decimals). The payment is directed to address 0xCa12…cd0c with a 60-second timeout. No OpenAPI spec or additional documentation pages were found beyond the x402 challenge itself, so the output schema embedded in the challenge is the primary reference for request/response structure.

Quality
The x402 challenge is live and provides a detailed output schema with clear input parameters, categories, and pricing. However, there is no OpenAPI spec, no documentation pages, and no example responses from the provider, so the response schema and behavior are inferred entirely from the embedded outputSchema.
Warnings
- —No OpenAPI spec or documentation pages found — schema is inferred solely from the x402 challenge payload.
- —Response example is synthetic; actual field values and array length are unverified.
- —No rate-limit or quota information available.
