Coinpaprika
Coinpaprika provides free, keyless access to live and historical price, market cap, and ranking data for tens of thousands of coins and tokens, positioning itself as a fully open alternative to CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko. Paid Pro plans raise the rate limit and add extra historical depth, but the core dataset stays queryable with no API key at all.
CoinPaprika offers free, keyless market data for thousands of cryptocurrencies — prices, volumes, market caps, and historical quotes — indexed by its own `coin_id` scheme like `btc-bitcoin`.

- No API key required — requests are public and keyless
- Coin IDs follow the `{symbol}-{name}` pattern (e.g. `btc-bitcoin`, `eth-ethereum`); look yours up via `/coins` if unsure
Stored keyNo key stored
Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.

Gotchas & limits
- The free tier is rate-limited (roughly 20,000 calls/month) — heavier usage requires a paid plan via the Starter/Pro tiers
- IDs aren't the ticker symbol alone — use the full `symbol-name` slug returned by `/coins`, not just `BTC`
- All quote data is nested under `quotes.<CURRENCY>` (e.g. `quotes.USD.price`), not top-level fields
