24 alternatives to coinmarketcap-api
Hi there HN, just wanted to share a little project I've been working on for some time: a coinmarketcap.com Python (API) wrapper. As coinmarketcap does not provide any API endpoints, the code is pretty dirty and should be considered as a scraper more than a real API wrapper. Example usage: >>> import coinmarketcap >>> coinmarketcap.market_cap('bitcoin') $ 7,644,402,276 Everything is well documented in the README but if you have questions, don't ask. Hope you enjoy it, issues and PR on Github are more than welcome. (https://github.com/c0ding/coinmarketcap-api)

x402▲119Hi HN – excited to announce x402, initially developed by Coinbase (YC 12) x402 lets any HTTP API charge per request without issuing API keys or storing credit cards. Buyers (humans or AI agents) keep funds in their own wallet and dynamically discover compatible endpoints, call them as usual, and automatically pay a microtransaction in USDC or other tokens to settle. 90 second demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV-L2AfLhJg Problem: Every time we want to use a new API we have to: find the service online create a developer account, copy a secret key into env vars, pre-fund or…

I'm a university student and needed DeFi data for my project. CoinGecko's API pricing was way out of my budget (like, not even close). $35+/month just for high-granularity data – and that's not even minute-by-minute! So I did what any broke student would do – I started querying the blockchain directly instead. Turns out, going straight to the source is not only cheaper, but I could offer the same data for more than 50% less than traditional providers. So I built Qoery, a Python SDK that makes DeFi data actually affordable for students, indie devs, and anyone building side projects. What…

Hello HN. I built my own automated Bitcoin trading bot and noticed that many others want to do the same thing, but lack the coding skills required for the harder stuff, like order execution and backtesting. I like the idea of making automated trading more accessible to existing day traders as well as newcomers. Hopefully this will also inspire some people to learn to code. We’re currently in private beta, but please check out the site below. Feedback is more than welcome. http://tradewave.net

The current pricing for crypto data APIs (CoinGecko/CMC) is based on a legacy requirement: maintaining hundreds of real-time websocket connections to centralized exchanges (Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, etc.). That infrastructure is heavy, expensive, and requires constant maintenance to filter wash-trading and normalize order books. But if you are building for DeFi, that data is technically irrelevant. The "real" executable price is on-chain (Uniswap, Raydium, Curve). I realized that if I just ignored the CEXs entirely and only indexed the blockchain, I could drop the cost basis by an…

Hey HN, Last month, I wanted to buy some Bitcoin and noticed something strange: the price was different on every exchange. Unlike the stock market, crypto doesn’t have one official price. I tried using CoinMarketCap and other sites to compare prices, but they didn’t really help. So, I built Coinstate a simple, free tool that lets you see and compare live crypto prices from many exchanges in one place. It currently pulls data from Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, KuCoin, HTX, Bybit, and Gate.io, with Crypto.com and Gemini coming soon. You can filter by trading pair, sort by price, and see near…
