Beta Screener API
Ranks a cross-asset universe by beta to a benchmark, so you can see at a glance which markets amplify the benchmark's moves and which dampen or hedge them, computed live from Yahoo Finance daily closes — no key, nothing stored. Beta is the single number that says how much an asset moves for each 1% the market moves: a beta of 1.3 rises ~1.3% when the benchmark rises 1% (and falls harder when it drops), a beta near 0 is decoupled, a negative beta moves against the market (a hedge). The screener endpoint ranks the 21-instrument universe (equities, sectors, commodities, bonds, crypto; filterable by class) by beta to a chosen benchmark (the S&P 500 by default), each with its correlation and R-squared so you know how reliable the beta is. The asset endpoint returns one instrument's full beta profile against the benchmark. The dispersion endpoint returns the spread of betas across the universe — the high-beta-minus-low-beta gap, the mean beta and the share of risk-on names — a read on how much the market is rewarding risk-taking right now. This is the systematic-risk / market-sensitivity ranking cut — distinct from a bring-your-own-series CAPM/beta calculator, the total-risk Sharpe/Sortino screener, the correlation matrix and the price APIs. It ranks live assets by how much market risk they carry.
