Access real-time quotes from 20+ exchanges, historical OHLC data, coin fundamentals, economic calendar events, and market news via the CryptoCraft API.
What is the CryptoCraft API?
The CryptoCraft API provides 6 endpoints covering real-time cryptocurrency quotes across 20+ exchanges, historical OHLC price metrics, coin fundamentals, economic calendar events, and market news. The get_instrument_quotes endpoint returns per-exchange quote breakdowns and multi-timeframe performance metrics for any instrument pair, while get_coin_metrics delivers historical open/high/low/close data with configurable periods and candle intervals.

Typed, relational, agent-ready
A generated client with real types, enums, and the links between objects — the structure a flat JSON response can't carry. Autocompletes in your editor and reads cleanly to coding agents.

Retrieves all cryptocurrency coins with detailed fundamental data. Returns market cap, founders, communities, wallets, block info, and fun facts for each coin. The full catalog is returned in a single page (~30 coins). Market cap values are denominated in the specified quote currency.

}About the CryptoCraft API
Coins and Fundamentals
The get_coins endpoint returns an array of coin objects covering fields like id, name, code, market_cap, founders, communities, fun_fact, and blockchain details. An optional quote parameter controls the currency used for market cap values. The total field in the response tells you how many coins were returned. This is the right starting point if you need metadata on a coin beyond just its price.
Historical Price Data
get_coin_metrics accepts a coin code (e.g. BTC, ETH, SOL), a period (6H through 3Y), and an interval of H2 (2-hour candles) or D1 (daily candles). Each data point in the metrics array includes open, high, low, close, price, supply, market_cap, date, and timestamp. The limit parameter caps how many data points come back. Supported coins include BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, ADA, LINK, LTC, BCH, XMR, XLM, ZEC, DCR, HBAR, AVAX, SUI, ETC, ICP, and NEAR.
Real-Time Quotes and Instruments
get_instrument_quotes accepts a comma-separated list of instrument pairs such as BTC/USD,ETH/USD and returns an instruments array where each entry includes an aggregated_quote, per-exchange exchange_quotes from 20+ venues, and performance metrics at multiple timeframes. Use get_instrument_list first to discover available instruments — it supports filtering by asset_class (crypto or forex) and returns each instrument's id, name, display_name, instrument_class, decimals, and is_in_holiday flag.
Calendar Events and News
get_calendar_events returns upcoming economic events with title, dateline, in_time, impact_value, impact_name, forecast, and previous fields for a given instrument. get_news retrieves recent headlines filtered by instrument pair and a hours_back lookback window. Each news item includes title, impact, impact_value, timestamp, views, and url, so you can rank stories by market impact score.
The CryptoCraft API is a managed, monitored endpoint for cryptocraft.com — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when cryptocraft.com changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.
This isn't an official cryptocraft.com API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.
Will this API break when the source site changes?+
Is this an official API from the source site?+
Can I fix or extend this API myself if I need a new endpoint or field?+
What happens if I call an endpoint that has an issue?+
- Aggregate real-time BTC/USD and ETH/USD quotes from 20+ exchanges for a best-price display widget.
- Build OHLC candlestick charts using
get_coin_metricswith H2 or D1 intervals over custom time periods. - Screen coins by market cap and blockchain fundamentals sourced from
get_coinsfor a research dashboard. - Alert users to high-impact economic calendar events before they affect a crypto instrument.
- Rank and display market-moving news by
impact_valuefor a cryptocurrency news feed. - Compare per-exchange quote spreads from
exchange_quotesto detect arbitrage opportunities. - Filter available trading instruments by asset class to populate a dynamic instrument selector UI.
| Tier | Price | Credits/month | Rate limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 100 | 5 req/min |
| Hobby | $30/mo | 1,000 | 20 req/min |
| Developer | $100/mo | 5,000 | 100 req/min |
One credit = one API call regardless of which marketplace API you call. Exceeding the rate limit returns a 429 response. Authenticate with the X-API-Key header.
Does CryptoCraft have an official developer API?+
What does `get_instrument_quotes` return beyond just the current price?+
get_instrument_quotes returns an aggregated_quote combining data across sources, individual exchange_quotes from each of the 20+ exchanges tracked, and performance metrics across multiple timeframes — all within a single response per instrument pair.How far back does historical OHLC data go in `get_coin_metrics`?+
period parameter supports up to 3Y (three years) of history. The finest granularity available is H2 (2-hour candles) via the interval parameter; daily candles are available with D1. The maximum number of data points per request is controlled by the limit parameter.Does the API cover on-chain transaction data or wallet balances?+
Is the coin coverage in `get_coin_metrics` limited to a fixed list?+
get_coin_metrics currently supports a defined set of coins including BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, ADA, LINK, LTC, BCH, XMR, XLM, ZEC, DCR, HBAR, AVAX, SUI, ETC, ICP, and NEAR. Coins not on this list are not covered. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to extend coverage to additional coin codes.
