# Aggregating Crypto News

## Overview

This skill aggregates cryptocurrency news from 50+ authoritative sources using RSS feeds. It provides real-time news scanning with filtering by coin, category, time window, and relevance scoring.

**Key Capabilities:**
- Multi-source aggregation from top crypto news sites
- Coin-specific filtering (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.)
- Category filtering (DeFi, NFT, regulatory, exchange, etc.)
- Relevance scoring with market-moving keyword detection
- Multiple output formats (table, JSON, CSV)

## Prerequisites

Before using this skill, ensure:

1. **Python 3.8+** is installed
2. **feedparser** library is available: `pip install feedparser`
3. **requests** library is available: `pip install requests`
4. Internet connectivity for RSS feed access

## Instructions

### Step 1: Assess User Intent

Determine what the user is looking for:
- **General news**: No specific filters, use defaults
- **Coin-specific**: Extract coin symbol (BTC, ETH, etc.)
- **Category-specific**: Extract category (defi, nft, regulatory, etc.)
- **Time-specific**: Extract time window (1h, 4h, 24h, 7d)

### Step 2: Execute News Aggregation

Run the news aggregator with appropriate filters:

```bash
# Default scan (top 20, past 24h, relevance sorted)
python {baseDir}/scripts/news_aggregator.py

# Coin-specific scan
python {baseDir}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --coin BTC --period 4h

# Category filter
python {baseDir}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --category defi --top 30

# Export to JSON
python {baseDir}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --format json --output news.json

# Multiple filters
python {baseDir}/scripts/news_aggregator.py --coin ETH --category defi --period 24h --top 15
```

### Step 3: Present Results

Format and present the news to the user:
- Show source, title, age, and relevance score
- Highlight market-moving keywords if present
- Provide links for full articles
- Summarize meta information (sources checked, articles found)
