Cryptocurrency — entry 045 of 53
Messari
Messari's API covers on-chain and market metrics, research reports, fundraising and token-unlock data, and news/topics feeds for thousands of crypto assets, aimed at analysts and funds rather than simple price lookups. Core asset and market data now sit behind an Enterprise-gated tier alongside a self-serve API key and a pay-per-request x402 option — a narrower free surface than the API offered in earlier years.
