CryptoCompare
CryptoCompare (now CoinDesk Data / CCData, acquired by CoinDesk in late 2024) is a long-standing crypto market data aggregator covering 300+ exchanges, 10,000+ assets, and 300,000+ trading pairs. The platform exposes two REST API surfaces — the legacy min-api.cryptocompare.com (Price, Historical OHLCV, Top Lists, News, Social, Order Book, Exchanges, Blockchain) and the modern data-api.cryptocompare.com / CoinDesk Data API (Spot, Index / Reference Rates including CADLI and CCIX, Asset, News, On-Chain, Futures, Options, Overview) — plus a unified WebSocket streamer at wss://streamer.cryptocompare.com/v2 that multiplexes Trade, Ticker, CCCAGG aggregate index, Order Book L2 updates and snapshots, Full Volume, Top Tier Full Volume, OHLC Candles, and Top of Book channels. Authentication uses an API key supplied as the api_key query parameter or as an `Authorization: Apikey {key}` header. Access is metered by monthly call credits with per-second / per-minute / per-hour / per-day ceilings; the Free tier issues 100,000 monthly credits and commercial Starter / Professional / Enterprise tiers escalate credit budgets, history depth, and surface coverage (news, social, on-chain, derivatives, full streamer, on-demand bulk exports, reference-rate licensing).
CryptoCompare publishes 18 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Streaming WebSocket, Asset API, Blockchain API, and 15 more. Tagged areas include Cryptocurrency, Market Data, Reference Rates, News, and Blockchain.
The CryptoCompare catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification, 1 JSON-LD context, and 3 Spectral governance rulesets.
CryptoCompare’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, signup flow, pricing, support, engineering blog, documentation, and 42 more developer resources.
