CoinStats API
Overview
CoinStats is a no-authentication REST API that provides real-time prices, percentage changes, and basic market metrics for thousands of cryptocurrencies. It returns a paginated list of coins sorted by market cap, making it straightforward to build a crypto ticker or price widget without setting up API keys. The free public tier is rate-limited but generous enough for personal projects and prototypes.
Beginner Tip
No sign-up is needed — just call the endpoint directly and the JSON response arrives immediately. Keep your polling interval at 60 seconds or longer to stay within the public rate limit and avoid temporary blocks.
