Controversy Pulse

x402 APIPassing, checked 3 h ago

Tracks how much is written about an organisation and in what tone, comparing a recent window against the same term own longer baseline, and returns both the volume ratio and the tone shift with the articles behind them. The framing is fixed and repeated in the response: this is an attention signal and not a judgement. A tone drop means more negative language is being used, not that something happened, and a product recall, a lawsuit and a critical opinion piece produce the same deflection.

Call it from code

The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.006.

curl: see the payment challenge
# bash or zsh: see the payment challenge. Nothing is charged.

  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{"baseline":"1w","include_articles":false,"organisation":"Volkswagen","window":"1d"}'

# x402 v2 sends the challenge base64-encoded in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header (v1 sends it in the body).
# To read the header:
