About cryptoplot
For quants and coders, we provide a free JSON API with 1 minute updates on http://cryptomarketplot.com/api.json The syntax is compatible with the now discontinued CoinMarketCap JSON API. But it's better, as we also have useful extra fields: Bid, Ask, and Last price. And it's fully free, No key or login required.
We keep rolling new features. Ask, and we will see what we can do!

Yes, it is sad how some glee from failures. I will keep on working, crash or not, because I like what I do.

Agreed. We should not make such assumptions, because the number of exchanges is still quite low. But you would be surprised to know how many samples we have at any moment!

All I could see on this website were the tweets and things I don't really care about. We seem to have very different goals. But after talking, I'm curious to see what kind of marke…

I would argue that in this case, the big change from 1.9 to 9.0 would catch your attention even more than the change in exponent. But by the same login, I agree with you: .9eX and …

Piggy backing rubs the wrong way, but sometimes there is interesting content. Personally, I would challenge the piggybacker to show me something. Talk is cheap.

Please get in touch by email if you need something more than the free API. For your embedded devices, we can make something special just for you

No wrong question :-) Please get in touch by email if you need something special. If you have hard constraints, we can provide you with a special API returning only the value(s) yo…

We plan to remain online for a long long time And if you make embedded devices using our API, maybe you need more than the free API? We sell access based on subscription for 0.1 BC…

I am indeed bullish on crypto, but the decision is driven by facts, not by passion. The fact is the price range vary too much, even in the same scale (say BTC/USD vs XRP/USD), so w…

Marketcap is totally overblown, I agree! We talk a bit about it in our FAQ. And I'm sorry, I assumed I needed a login on your site because I just couldn't find a way to quickly sen…

We already have that data. We don't show it because we want to filter out bad data!! Let's take an example: illiquid coins, like for new forks. Look at the prices quoted on every e…

Huh, thanks? But that's a bit different from what we are doing. We concentrate on hard numbers and privacy. You seem to focus on news and community. And it seems to me your API req…

Thanks, I will see how they do it. I don't want registration or even cookies.

We could fix that, but I kinda like TOR. Keeping it in all caps (like when it was just an acronym) puts it forward. We want to emphasize our support of privacy.

People have their reasons, we respect that. But a default to https, why not? It seems reasonable to me. I am not sure on how to get https:// by default while still supporting http:…

Not sure. Check http://cryptomarketplot.com/accessible-index.html : the numbers are also aligned, and in less space that it would take if 5.744e-5 was to have all its leading zeroe…

wow 2 links, we didn't ask that much :-) I really appreciate. We will work on having the percentage change online for you in the API as soon as possible.

Thanks! So generally the same things we currently already have. Don't they have full market book data? We are wondering if we should do that. It could be a separate subscription pl…

They want a login before even giving a key. Can you summarize their features? What data do they show? We offer real-time data to clients. Real time is hard to beat.

1996 is rate limited on the replies, so I'll answer: Until it brings in more money than it costs to make, it is a hobby. I hope we grow and replace coinmarketcap. But that will tak…

We have many values, but if we think they may mislead people, we don't show them. It is our ethics. We do not want to do what everyone does. We will show more coins when we think w…

Yes for BTC, then for something 10x that 34.36 start looking not as good. We could make an option for people who prefer regular numbers. I will add that to the feature requests.

Percent change, you mean you want the equivalent from the original CMC JSON: "percent_change_1h": "XXX", "percent_change_24h": "XX", "percent_change_7d": "XX", We can add that, but…
