Santiment Data Parser & API

Santiment is a leading on-chain and social analytics platform that tracks behavioral, sentiment and blockchain metrics across crypto assets, and StockAPIS extracts its data — social volume, sentiment scores, active addresses, development activity and trending words for 2,000+ assets — through a single REST API. Santiment offers an official GraphQL API (SanAPI), and StockAPIS normalizes it to the same schema you use for every other data source, so you pull Santiment alongside exchange prices and news without maintaining a separate GraphQL integration.

Platform Overview

Market Position

• One of the most established on-chain and social intelligence providers in crypto
• Coverage spanning 2,000+ assets with social, blockchain and development-activity metrics
• Behavioral analytics built to surface crowd sentiment, FOMO/FUD and whale movements
• Official GraphQL API (SanAPI), normalized by StockAPIS into a unified REST schema

Data Coverage

StockAPIS exposes the full Santiment metric surface:

• Social metrics — social volume, social dominance, sentiment scores, trending words across Twitter, Reddit, Telegram and forums
• On-chain metrics — active addresses, network growth, transaction volume, token age consumed, exchange in/outflows
• Whale & holder behavior — whale transaction counts, supply distribution, holder cohorts
• Development activity — GitHub commit and dev-activity metrics by project
• Valuation signals — MVRV, NVT, realized cap and other on-chain valuation ratios
• Historical series — time-series data for backtesting sentiment and on-chain strategies

Quick Start

import stockapis
 
client = stockapis.Client(api_key="your-api-key")
 
# Social sentiment + on-chain snapshot for an asset
data = client.santiment.get_metrics(asset="bitcoin", metrics=["sentiment_score", "social_volume", "active_addresses"])
print(f"Sentiment {data['sentiment_score']}  ·  social vol {data['social_volume']}")

const { StockAPIS } = require("stockapis");
const client = new StockAPIS({ apiKey: "your-api-key" });
 
// Trending words and social volume for Ethereum
const social = await client.santiment.getSocial({ asset: "ethereum", limit: 30 });
console.log(social.trending_words, social.social_volume);
