Adding news to our dataset
A professor once mentioned that in the crypto world, news takes only five minutes to impact the price of an asset.
News is not only important for its effect on prices but marketing teams may also request analysis of the social impact of a brand, a campaign, or a product, or it may be necessary to source an algorithm, among other applications. For that purpose, data scientists need news formatted for analysis.
As of today, there is a dedicated source named CryptoPanic, a data aggregator that specifically indexes news relevant to the Web3 ecosystem. The link to the website is https://cryptopanic.com/.
Its data can be consumed through an API and the API key is available upon registration.
