What This Skill Does

Fetches trending stock tickers and sentiment data from Reddit communities using the free ApeWisdom API. Returns mention counts, 24-hour change percentages, and upvote totals per ticker. Supports filtering by subreddit, including r/wallstreetbets, SPACs, and crypto communities.

ApeWisdom aggregates Reddit mention data across multiple subreddits in a single free API call, avoiding manual subreddit scraping or paid data providers.

When to use it

  • Spotting meme stock momentum before it peaks
  • Checking which tickers are spiking on r/wallstreetbets today
  • Comparing 24h mention changes to find breakout retail picks
  • Filtering stock chatter by SPAC or crypto subreddits
  • Tracking upvote volume alongside mention counts for a ticker
