# Crypto News Impact Checker: Is News Moving Bitcoin?

**Use case:** 

Is a crypto headline actually moving the price, or already priced in? This checks the top recent stories about Bitcoin from 31 news sources, how many outlets carried each one, and how far the price moved afterwards compared with its normal swing. Verdicts: moving the price, not moving it, already moved, or too new. $0.01.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/zaffy_93/crypto-reality-check.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
