What's new

New

• Add one-off backfill script for historical crypto news

New

• Enhance news API with date filtering and strict query validation

New

• Implement chunking for CoinGecko API requests

New

• Add Google Analytics 4 to the webapp

Crypto news is now served from our own continuously updated article mirror instead of being proxied to an upstream provider on every request. What that means for you:

• Faster responses — news queries are answered directly from our database, independent of upstream latency or outages.
• Full-text search — GET /news/crypto supports free-text search via q, plus language, country and category filters, with cursor-based pagination.
• New GET /health endpoint — an unauthenticated liveness probe, also powering our public status page.
• Live status — current API status is now shown in the site footer and at our status page.

Breaking change: the general-purpose GET /news endpoint has been removed. Crypto news remains available at GET /news/crypto with the same response format as before.

New

• Enhance Caddyfile security and update Docker configurations

New

• Add favicon route and update API documentation

New

• Implement auto-generated changelog and update deployment workflow

The API is now fully self-documenting:

• Interactive docs — explore and try every endpoint at api.cryptotokenhub.xyz/docs.
• OpenAPI 3.1 spec — machine-readable spec at GET /openapi, importable into Postman, Bruno, Insomnia and friends.
• Documentation is generated from the same validation schemas the API runs on, so it can never drift from actual behavior.
