According to the official announcement on the platform’s blog section, this new API will “give developers and funds the ability to use our aggregated data in product offerings, providing price, market capitalization, conversions, and trading pair data that CoinMarketCap aggregates from hundreds of exchanges every minute.”
The announcement continues with Brandon Chez, the founder of CoinMarketCap, stating the following: “As part of our mission to continue growing the cryptocurrency sector with our partners, our professional API will ensure that the CoinMarketCap data that users know and trust can be integrated into every application. Our API comes with a best-in-class developer dashboard that will help every developer – from hobbyist to large-scale cryptocurrency product teams – make the most of our data.”
