CoinAPI

Verified Jul 2026

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.

Auth quickstart

  1. Sign up with the provider to get an API key.
  2. Send it on every request as a headerAuthorization: <key>
  3. The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
Stored keyNo key stored

Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
