TreeNews Source

TreeNews delivers real-time crypto news and alerts from Tree of Alpha (opens in a new tab) over a low-latency WebSocket. It aggregates Twitter, blogs, Telegram, and exchange listings.

Available Feeds

TreeNews (Main)

• Twitter, blogs, and Telegram coverage
• Major announcements and general market updates
• Endpoint: wss://news.treeofalpha.com/ws

TreeNews (Tokyo)

• Low-latency Binance and Bybit listing alerts
• Optimized for Asian trading hours
• Endpoint: ws://tokyo.treeofalpha.com:5124
• Requires subscriber access

Getting Access

1. Visit tree.news (opens in a new tab)
2. Create an account and subscribe
3. Generate your API key from your account settings

A single key authenticates every feed your subscription includes.

Configuration

1. Open Settings → News Sources
2. Under Add New Source, choose TreeNews (Main) or TreeNews (Tokyo)
3. Paste your API Key
4. Click Add Source

Add both as separate sources for round-the-clock coverage.

Reconnect & Gap Replay

If a TreeNews connection drops, CubeTerminal reconnects automatically and backfills the items you may have missed from Tree of Alpha's public REST endpoint. Replayed items are marked as late so they aren't mistaken for live headlines or counted in latency stats.

News Format

TreeNews items display:

• Source badge — green "TREENEWS" (Main) or orange "TREENEWS-TOKYO"
• Content — news text
• Tickers — detected symbols, clickable to trade
• Timestamp — publication time

Best Practices

• Enable Main for broad global coverage
• Add Tokyo for fast exchange-listing alerts
• Combine with keyword highlights to surface the terms you care about

Troubleshooting

Connection issues

1. Verify the API key is correct
2. Confirm your subscription includes the feed you enabled
3. Ensure WebSocket connections aren't blocked by your network
4. Disable and re-enable to reconnect

Missing Tokyo feed

• Confirm your subscription includes Tokyo access
• Contact Tree of Alpha support for access problems
