`GET https://api.wiseview.ai/v1/market/mood`

How scared or greedy the US stock market is, from 0 (extreme fear) to 100 (extreme greed), as of the latest close. Seven measures — momentum, 52-week highs against lows, the breadth of buying, demand for protection, volatility, the run to safety and the appetite for risky debt — are each ranked against their own past year and averaged. Returns the day's reading and zone, each measure's score, the reading at the last close, a week, a month and a year back, and the daily history. Worked out once each weekday evening; WiseView's own measure, so it will not match other fear and greed indexes exactly.

Each call counts against your allowance.

| Name | In | Type | What it does |
