# orchard-data.letom1176.workers.dev

orchard-data.letom1176.workers.dev is a narrow, single-purpose data host serving agents that need a quick read on current crypto market sentiment. It wraps the alternative.me Fear & Greed Index into a structured, machine-readable response. It is suited for agents that gate trading or allocation logic on a sentiment signal before acting.

## When to use this host

Use this host when an agent needs the current Crypto Fear & Greed Index value as a sentiment gate or input signal before making crypto trading or allocation decisions. Do not use it for historical sentiment time-series data — it returns only the most recent single data point. Do not use it for equity or stock market sentiment indices (e.g., CNN Fear & Greed); those require a different data source. If an agent needs OHLCV price data, order book depth, or on-chain metrics, this host provides none of those — route to a dedicated market data or exchange host instead.
