# Get the highest win-rate analyst (HTTP alias) — same response as /api/public/analysts/top; MCP agents use canonical URL

`GET /api/analysts/top`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://cryptowhaleinsights.com`
- URL: `https://cryptowhaleinsights.com/api/analysts/top`
- Auth: none declared

Alias for GET /api/public/analysts/top. Returns the single analyst with the highest win rate among those with at least 5 resolved signals, plus their last 3 recent signals. MCP agents should use /api/public/analysts/top (the canonical tool-exposed URL); direct HTTP clients may use either path. Returns { analyst: null, updatedAt } when no analyst yet qualifies. winRate is a fraction (0–1); avgReturn is percentage points. Cached ~10min.

## Response `200`
