X-Users: Mapping Crypto’s Opinion Leaders

In the crypto ecosystem, influence is highly concentrated among key opinion leaders whose voices shape narratives, introduce new projects, and influence market sentiment. The X-Users API provides programmatic access to data about these influential voices on X (formerly Twitter), allowing you to track who is driving the conversation and how their engagement changes over time.

​
Key Metrics

Mindshare: Posts, replies, and retweets from high-mindshare users are routinely captured. Based on a supervised learning model, the crypto relevance of each post is determined. Using only the set of crypto-relevant posts, a graph of user interactions is created that takes into account the aggregate engagement metrics of each user. Only individuals have a user mindshare score, official project accounts and corporate accounts are excluded. Engagement Score: Score representing the volume of interactions on a users’ crypto-relevant posts.

​
Available Endpoints

The X-Users API provides several endpoints to track influential voices:
  • List X-Users - Retrieve a list of influential crypto voices with their mindshare and engagement metrics
  • X-User Details - Get detailed information about a specific user, including their account type and metrics
  • Engagement Time Series - Track how a user’s engagement has changed over time
  • Mindshare Time Series - Analyze a user’s influence with custom time granularity (from minutes to years)
