Alpha (Mossland) vs Coinlore

Alpha is Mossland's free, keyless public API that turns Korean-language crypto YouTube/news/macro chatter plus Mossland's own on-chain activity into a queryable knowledge base of canonical entities, topics, and events. Its /api/ask endpoint answers natural-language questions in Korean or English with citations back to source videos or briefs, and a companion MCP server exposes 12 tools for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and similar agent clients over JSON-RPC. Every surface is HTTPS-only with no signup, though the docs note unauthenticated abuse may trigger a per-IP rate cap.

Coinlore offers a free, keyless REST API for current prices, market cap, volume, and exchange ticker data across thousands of coins, aimed at hobby projects and simple price widgets rather than trading infrastructure. There is no paid tier or authentication layer — every endpoint is open and JSON-only.
