This is not our API. This repository is an independent, third-party profile of a company's publicly available API surface, maintained by API Evangelist. API Evangelist does not operate, host, resell, or support this company's APIs, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated on the profile.
Where the information came from. Everything here is assembled from material a member of the public can reach with a browser and no credentials — the company's own website, developer portal and documentation, the specifications it publishes for public use (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema,
apis.json,llms.txtand similar), its public repositories, and its public status, pricing and changelog pages. Nothing here is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials of any kind.The rating is an independent assessment. The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated scores of a company's public API artifacts, produced by API Evangelist against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits, and they score published artifacts — not the quality, safety, or security of the software.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free. No partnership, contract, or purchase is required, and you do not need to justify the request.
- Something wrong? Open an issue on this repository, or email info@apievangelist.com.
- Published something new? Ask for a re-score and we will re-run the rating.
- Want the listing taken down? Say so and we will honor it. The profile is reduced to your company name, a factual description, and a link to your own site, and the company is recorded as unrated — never scored zero for having asked.
Response times. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal or restriction within two business days; corrections and re-scores within five business days.
On a security or compliance team? Email info@apievangelist.com with security in the subject line and you will get a person, not a form. We will tell you exactly which public URLs this profile was built from so your team can see the same surface we did, and we will take the listing down on request while you work through it.
Full detail: Where this data comes from
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).
