What is Crypto Fear & Greed Index?

Crypto Fear & Greed Index returns the Crypto Fear & Greed Index published by alternative.me — today's reading and the full daily history back to February 2018 — as clean, typed rows: date, 0-100 value, sentiment label (Extreme Fear → Extreme Greed) and the day-over-day change. No API key, no rate-limit handling, no date parsing on your side. Schedule it daily, pipe it into a trading bot, a dashboard or a backtest, or let an AI agent call it through MCP.

What data does it return?

How to use it

  1. Set Days of history — 1 for just today, 30 for the last month, 0 for everything since 2018.
  2. Keep Include day-over-day change on to get the daily delta.
  3. Click Start, then export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the API.
  4. For a daily signal, create an Apify schedule with days: 1 and attach a webhook or the Google Sheets integration.

How much does it cost?

Pricing: Crypto Fear & Greed Index costs $0.50 per 1,000 days (pay per result, platform usage included). A daily one-row check costs a fraction of a cent; the full 2018-to-today history is about $1.40.

Use cases

  • Trading bots — gate entries on sentiment (e.g. only buy below 25, take profit above 75).
  • Backtests — join the daily series with BTC prices to test contrarian strategies.
  • Dashboards and newsletters — today's value and the move since yesterday.
  • AI agents — "how is crypto sentiment today compared with last week?" in one tool call.

Limits

  • The index is updated once a day by alternative.me; date is the UTC day of the reading.
  • Values come from the publisher as-is; this Actor does not recompute the index.

FAQ

Do I need an API key? No. The index is public; the Actor handles fetching, retries and typing.

How far back does the history go? To 1 February 2018, the first day the index was published.

Is this investment advice? No. It is a sentiment indicator for information purposes only.
