Use Upcurrent's data in your own projects
Every 30 minutes Upcurrent checks GitHub, Hugging Face, arXiv, Hacker News, AI lab blogs, model providers and more, then works out what is rising. The results are plain JSON files. Use them in a bot, a newsletter, a research project or an app, for free. The only ask is a credit with a link back.
The feeds
- data/api/today.jsonEverything on the dashboard right now: rising items, breakouts, hype check, receipts, top repos, trending models, free models, headlines and discussions.
- data/api/history.jsonThe long memory: every item Upcurrent has tracked, when it was first spotted and what it was at, milestones it passed since, every breakout, and every free model added or removed.
- data/api/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.jsonA frozen copy of today.json for each day (UTC), starting 2026-10-02. Good for comparing days.
- data/latest.jsonThe raw file the site itself reads, including every source's original response. Bigger and less tidy; use it if you want to do your own scoring.
Full addresses start with https://anmolsrivastavadev-pixel.github.io/upcurrent/. No key, no sign-up, and browsers can fetch them directly from any website.

The one rule: credit Upcurrent
The data Upcurrent creates (scores, breakouts, hype verdicts, receipts, free model changes) is licensed under CC BY 4.0. Wherever you show it, add this line:
Data from <a href="https://anmolsrivastavadev-pixel.github.io/upcurrent/">Upcurrent</a>- Commercial use is fine.
- Titles, descriptions and links inside the data belong to their original publishers. Link to them rather than republishing whole articles.
- Numbers are real and come from each source's official API. If a source was down, it is listed in
data/latest.jsonunderstale. - Please don't fetch more than once every few minutes. The data only changes every 30 minutes.
