For journalists, analysts and creators.

01 · How to cite

The number, its scope, the time and the link.

• Whale names are given by WhaleRadar and never name a person. A name belongs to one wallet for at least a year, and an earlier holder is shown with its year, as in “Clear Gale ’26”. Add the address or the link so readers can check the wallet on Hyperliquid's explorer.
• Every figure has its time. Positions change by the minute. Quote the time shown next to the number, in UTC.
• Credit next to the number, "WhaleRadar" or "Whale Tide by WhaleRadar", with a link, not only in a footnote.

02 · Pictures

Share images that carry their source.

Each picture shows the domain and the time of its data inside the image, also when it is posted without your text. Keep the foot line in a crop. Free to post with a link.

The Whale TideGood for: a market recap or a weekly note, with one number for where whale money leans./tide/card/all.pngWhale StreetGood for: a weekend or overnight story on stocks, gold or oil while their exchanges are closed./og/overnight/now.png

• Every whaleGood for: a story about one wallet and its record./og/whale/<whale-slug>.png
• Every whale moveGood for: checking a viral post about a whale trade./og/move/<id>.png
• Every marketGood for: a market recap or a risk note on one coin or stock./og/market/<market>.png
• Every daily reportGood for: a daily recap or a newsletter./og/report/<YYYY-MM-DD>.png
• A live Tide widget for your pageGood for: a page that shows the Tide as it moves./tide/widget/all.svg

A whale's slug is the last part of its page address, like silent-leviathan-a7ce. For your publication: the media studio takes any of these visuals in the format you need (landscape, portrait, square, story, wide), light or dark, with or without the figures and a context chart, as PNG or SVG with the source inside the picture. Caption and embed code come with it.

03 · Data

The data, free to use.

• Public JSON: the Whale Tide, current and daily history/api/tide.json
• Public JSON: whales ranked by track record/api/whales.json
• Public JSON: whale moves, 15 minutes late/api/moves.json
• A guide for AI assistants/llms.txt

The public JSON is free, needs no key and shows moves 15 minutes late. The Whale Tide is published under CC BY 4.0: use it anywhere with the credit "Whale Tide by WhaleRadar" and a link. The full API with live moves and the Tide's history, the event stream and a licence to build products on our data come with Desk.

04 · How we word things

Positions, not intentions.

• We describe timing, never motive. "Opened a $4M short two hours before the report" is a fact on the chain. Why someone did it is not.
• We never tell anyone to trade. No "should", no buy or sell. Whales can be wrong, hedged elsewhere or about to change their minds.
• On event pages every entry is typed: official, reported, unconfirmed, denied.
• What we cannot know stays unknown: unclassified wallets, positions opened before tracking began. Methodology
