CoinAPI
CoinAPI aggregates order books, trades, and OHLCV history from 370+ crypto exchanges into one normalized REST, WebSocket, and FIX interface, positioning itself as infrastructure for trading and quant use rather than a simple price lookup. A free plan with a daily call cap covers evaluation; production access is metered by request volume.
