BTC Intel

Use for the current market read, one line per published page: the state word and summary line of the Full Read, the five areas (Technical, On-chain, Market structure, Sentiment, Macro), Cross-market, Liquidity and Cycle, as printed on the site. Choose this for the overall picture; for the five areas broken into their 26 components use get_market_detail, for the Brief headlines get_brief, for the Score get_btc_intel_score. Free and current.

Takes no parameters.

Use for the latest public Brief (the daily read: headline, lead sentence, date and link) and the latest public Weekly Brief (headline, date and link), as text. Only these latest editions are served: their full text is on the linked pages, and past editions are not searchable here. For a structured day record with the five areas' state words and top stories use get_daily_intelligence_brief; for the market read get_market_read. Free.

Takes no parameters.

Use for the published Intel DCA rules: what each plan (Defensive, Balanced, Growth) does on payday at each Score level, word for word from btcintel.org/intel-dca/, with the notes under the ladder. Rules only: no personal plan, not advice. For the Score to read the ladder against use get_btc_intel_score or get_live_score; for definitions get_methodology. Free.

Use for today's complete live picture in one paid call: the latest published BTC Intel Score (0–100) and its classification, its historical position (the share of recorded days below and above it, daily since July 2011; live since October 6, 2026, earlier days back-calculated with the current method), and the five market areas (Technical, On-chain, Market structure, Sentiment, Macro), each with its state, position on the five-step scale and last change; the Score date and the analysis edition are given separately. Not for a past day (use get_btc_intel_score), a range of days (get_score_history), statistics (get_score_statistics) or the market areas alone (free: get_market_read or get_market_detail). Context, not a forecast. $0.25 per call in bitcoin over Lightning, one answer per payment: call without "payment" for an invoice and a macaroon, pay it, then call again with payment = "<macaroon>:<preimage>". Research, not investment advice.

Use for the Score on one specific day: its value (0–100), its classification, and whether the day is live or back-calculated (daily since July 18, 2011; live publication since October 6, 2026; earlier days back-calculated with the current method). Choose this for a single day's value; for today's full live picture (Score, historical position and the five areas together) use get_live_score, for a range of days get_score_history, for change over time get_score_momentum. Free up to the Delayed date (three months back); live = true or a later day: through the latest published day, $0.25 a call in bitcoin over Lightning, never recurring.

Use for change over time: how many points the Score moved over 1, 7, 30 and 90 days, and how long it has held its current classification. Choose this to see whether it is rising or falling; for the values themselves use get_score_history, for averages and distributions get_score_statistics, for the list of past classification periods get_classification_history. Free up to the Delayed date (three months back); live = true or a later day: through the latest published day, $0.25 a call in bitcoin over Lightning, never recurring. Changes describe the past, not what comes next.

Use for one summary of the record: the historical position (the share of recorded days below and above the latest reading), mean, median and range, days in each 10-point band, the share of days per classification, and counts of stretches and moves, optionally over a from–to range. Choose this to see how unusual a reading is; for the individual stretches use get_classification_history, for daily values get_score_history, for recent change get_score_momentum. Free up to the Delayed date (three months back); live = true or a later day: through the latest published day, $0.25 a call in bitcoin over Lightning, never recurring. The historical position describes where today's Score sits in the record, not what comes next.

Use for the raw daily series: one row per day, each marked live or back-calculated (daily since July 18, 2011; live publication since October 6, 2026; earlier days back-calculated with the current method), as JSON or CSV, 100 rows a page. Choose this to chart or export values; for one day use get_btc_intel_score, for summaries get_score_statistics, for periods per classification get_classification_history. Free up to the Delayed date (three months back); later days $0.25 a query, one payment opening every page for 24 hours, or $1.00 for the full live export (export = true, 1000 rows a page), in bitcoin over Lightning, never recurring.

Use for the periods the Score spent in each classification (Low, Moderate-low, Neutral, Elevated, High): the start, end and length of each, newest first, 100 a page, each marked live or back-calculated. Choose this to see when a classification last held and for how long; for daily values use get_score_history, for overall shares and counts get_score_statistics. Free up to the Delayed date (three months back); later days $0.25 a query in bitcoin over Lightning, one payment opening every page for 24 hours, never recurring.

Use for one structured record of the day: the five market areas' state words and, with live = true, the latest Brief's headline and top stories. Choose this for a day's summary in one call; for the latest Brief and Weekly Brief headlines with links (free, current) use get_brief, for the market read page lines get_market_read, for the areas' components get_market_detail, for the Score get_btc_intel_score. Free: the state words on the Delayed date (three months back); live = true: $0.25 a call in bitcoin over Lightning, never recurring.

Use for definitions, not data: what the Score is, its five classifications, the record's dates, how it is published and checked, and what live, back-calculated and historical position mean; the method itself is private. For Score values use get_btc_intel_score or get_live_score; for the Intel DCA rules get_plan_rules. Free.

Takes no parameters.

Use for the five market areas broken into their published components: each area (Technical, On-chain, Market structure, Sentiment, Macro) with its state, its position on the five-step scale (Adverse, Cautionary, Neutral, Constructive, Supportive), its explanation, last change and edition time, and the components its Analysis page shows (26 in all), each with its state and position. The optional area narrows the answer to one of technical, on-chain, market-structure, sentiment, macro; all five when left out. For one summary line per page, including Cross-market, Liquidity and Cycle, use get_market_read; for the live Score with the five areas use get_live_score. Free. The published market read in detail. The market components describe the published market read. The BTC Intel Score is computed separately.
