Calibrated multi-engine reads across crypto, FX, macro-events, prediction markets (Polymarket/Kalshi/Manifold/PredictIt) and sports — de-vigged sportsbook consensus plus proprietary xG/EPA/Statcast/weather analytics. Agent analysis tier; the curated, sized, tracked calls are the premium service.
Coverage: Global
Endpoints:
• sample (FREE): FREE pick-of-the-day — a full-depth sample of SignalPulse's sports intelligence on one featured matchup (de-vigged sportsbook consensus + proprietary stats/weather analytics). No payment, no API key.
• game ($1.00): Deep single-match analysis for AI sports & research agents — a full multi-engine read of any game: de-vigged sportsbook consensus (Bovada/FanDuel/Pinnacle), sharp-line moves, proprietary xG/EPA/Statcast/map-pool analytics, venue weather and altitude physics, injuries and props. Returns 3 ranked +EV plays with full reasoning, props included.
• predmarket ($2.00): Calibrated superforecaster scan of prediction markets for AI research & trading agents — a base-rate-anchored read across Polymarket, Manifold and PredictIt: cross-venue divergence, order-book and whale flow, and for sports the de-vigged sportsbook consensus plus proprietary team-strength and weather engines. Returns mispriced markets with probabilities, edge and full commentary, props included.
• racing ($0.50): Today's GB/IRE racing card scanned for AI betting & research agents — the single highest expected-value selection plus value picks across every race, horse or greyhound. Horses: RPR/Topspeed, draw bias, pace shape, going×form and trainer/jockey conditional course/going records. Greyhounds: early-speed, trap affinity, overall run-time, track trap-bias. Live exchange + forecast prices give genuine EV.
• h2h ($0.50): Player head-to-head for AI betting & research agents — a targeted read of TWO named players against each other in any matchup sport (golf, tennis, MMA). Returns the betting matchup verdict (favoured side, EV, edge) AND the fantasy head-to-head (who scores more DFS/fantasy points), plus data-backed props.
• compare ($1.00): Compare & rank 2+ named players against each other for AI betting, fantasy & research agents — golf 3-balls, DFS player pools, season-long start/sit, 'best of these'. Returns a ranked list (each with a projection) plus the single best betting play AND the best fantasy/DFS value.
• fantasy ($1.00): Direct fantasy advice for AI agents — start/sit, DFS lineup (salary cap, points-per-dollar), waiver pickups and trade analysis. FULLY OPEN: returns committed recommendations (who to start, accept/decline the trade), not just analysis. Projects fantasy points from the underlying data (golf SG/course-fit; NFL/MLB/NBA usage/role/matchup); the betting market is optional, never the gate.
• player ($0.50): Single-player stat-projected outlook for AI betting, fantasy & research agents — data-backed prop projections (the stat is projected from the underlying data even when no book posts a line), the fantasy projection (points, floor/ceiling, start-worthiness) and the form/role/matchup read. Golf strokes-gained/course-fit; NFL/MLB/NBA usage/role/matchup.
• ask ($1.00): Ask any sports or prediction-market question in plain language — the front door to SignalPulse's deep engines. Returns a data-grounded answer with an explicit DATA-vs-OPINION split (every claim cites its stat; judgment is labeled), a betting or fantasy angle when relevant, and a pointer to the deepest named endpoint. Honest when a question is outside coverage — it routes, it doesn't bluff.
• golf ($1.00): Whole-field golf scan for AI betting, fantasy & research agents — reads the ENTIRE tournament field (PGA ShotLink strokes-gained + ESPN) and surfaces the single highest-EV play across every bet type (outright / each-way / top-N / matchup / make-cut / first-round-leader), led by course-fit and the tee-time weather wave. For named golfers use /api/scan/compare or /api/scan/h2h.
• crypto ($2.00): Institutional-grade crypto market scan for AI financial & trading agents — 40+ live intelligence layers (regime, breadth, on-chain cycle, derivatives positioning, funding extremes, liquidation context, ETF/stablecoin flows) synthesized into a decision-ready read: directional bias, confidence, full rationale, key factors, adversarial pre-mortem.
• market ($2.00): Institutional cross-asset market scan for AI financial & trading agents — multi-layer read across FX majors, metals, and equity indices: regime, COT positioning, yield spreads, carry, real yields, VIX term structure, options gamma, and macro, synthesized into a decision-ready read: best instrument, directional bias, confidence, full rationale, key factors.
• forex ($0.50): Institutional forex market scan for AI financial & trading agents — multi-layer read across the 28 majors and crosses: rate differentials, COT positioning, carry, policy divergence, yield spreads, and cross-asset macro regime, synthesized into a decision-ready read: best pair, directional bias, confidence, full rationale, key factors.
• event ($1.00): Institutional economic-event scan for AI financial & trading agents — historical-reaction study for a scheduled macro release (NFP, CPI, FOMC and more): how the affected FX pairs have moved after similar surprises, the surprise read, macro context, and which pair has the cleanest reaction profile, with directional bias, confidence, and full rationale.
• options ($0.50): Institutional equity-options volatility scan for AI financial & trading agents — VRP (variance risk premium), IV term structure, GEX regime, max-pain and unusual options activity across liquid optionable names, synthesized into a decision-ready read: best ticker, vol/directional bias, confidence, full rationale, key factors.
• futures ($0.50): Institutional futures market scan for AI financial & trading agents — multi-layer read across the futures complex (equity index, rates, energy, metals, grains): COT positioning (disaggregated + financial), seasonality, term structure, and macro regime, synthesized into a decision-ready read: best contract, directional bias, confidence, full rationale, key factors.
