News-to-Discord Sentiment Bot (Claude API Integration)

Posted yesterday

Worldwide

Summary

I need a lightweight, always-on service that reads financial news from an API I already have access to, sends it to Claude (Anthropic's AI) for a sentiment read, and posts the result to a Discord channel via webhook. What it needs to do: Connect to my news API (Financial Juice) and monitor for new headlines in real time Filter out low-relevance/routine noise so it isn't calling the AI on every minor headline Send relevant news to the Claude API with a prompt I'll provide, asking for a directional market sentiment read (long/short/neutral) with a brief explanation Post the result to a Discord channel via webhook, formatted clearly (I'd like color-coded embeds — green/red/gray by sentiment — with a timestamp and short reasoning) Run continuously (24/7, including overnight) on a small VPS or serverless setup — I don't want to have to manually start/restart anything What I'll provide: Financial Juice API access/credentials Anthropic (Claude) API key Discord webhook URL The exact prompt/instructions for how the AI should evaluate sentiment What I'm looking for in a freelancer: Experience with API integrations and webhooks (Python or Node.js both fine) Experience deploying a small always-on service (VPS, serverless function, or similar) Clear communication — I'm not deeply technical, so I need someone who can explain setup/handoff simply Deliverables: Working, deployed service posting live to my Discord channel Brief documentation on how it works and how to change the prompt or filtering rules later Basic error handling (e.g., if an API call fails, it doesn't crash the whole service) Timeline: Open to discussing, but I'd like this live within 3-5 days of starting
