}About the cryptoslate.com API
The CryptoSlate API exposes 6 endpoints covering real-time cryptocurrency market data, company directory listings, site-wide search, and news articles. The get_coin_rankings endpoint returns up to 100 coins with price, 24-hour and 7-day change, market cap, and volume, while get_coin_detail adds per-coin team members, a text description, and an external links object — data that typical price-feed APIs omit.
Market Data Endpoints
get_coin_rankings returns an array of coin objects — each with name, symbol, slug, price, change_24h, change_7d, change_30d, market_cap, and volume_24h — for the top 100 coins by default. Pass the optional view parameter with values gainers, losers, volume, or recent to filter the result set to a specific market slice. get_market_overview gives a single-call snapshot of the entire market: total market_cap, volume_24h, btc_dominance, the count of tracked cryptocurrencies, and a top_coins array with current prices and changes.
Coin Detail and Search
get_coin_detail accepts a slug (e.g. bitcoin, ethereum) and returns a richer record than the rankings endpoint: a metrics object with detailed price and percent-change fields, an about description, a links map of labeled external URLs, and a team array of objects with name and role. The search endpoint accepts any keyword or phrase and returns categorized results — coins, companies, people, and news — each with title, url, type, badge, meta, and group fields, plus a total count.
Directory and News
list_companies pages through the CryptoSlate Directory and filters by category slug (e.g. crypto-exchanges, blockchain-analytics), returning company name and slug per page. get_news_articles retrieves paginated article listings — title, slug, and url per article — and accepts an optional category slug such as bitcoin, ethereum, or regulation to scope results to a topic.

Does CryptoSlate offer an official developer API?+
What does `get_coin_detail` return beyond basic price data?+
get_coin_detail returns a team array with member names and roles, an about string describing the project, a links object mapping label strings to URLs (e.g. website, whitepaper, GitHub), and a metrics object with granular market figures. The slug parameter is required — values like bitcoin or ethereum match CryptoSlate's URL slugs.Can I filter coin rankings by category or blockchain platform?+
get_coin_rankings endpoint filters by view only — accepted values are gainers, losers, volume, and recent. Filtering by blockchain platform or asset category is not currently supported. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add a category-filtered rankings endpoint.Does the news endpoint return full article body text?+
get_news_articles returns title, slug, and url per article. Full article body content is not included in the response. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add a detail endpoint that fetches the full article text.How does pagination work in `list_companies` and `get_news_articles`?+
page parameter. Responses include a page field confirming the current page. Neither endpoint currently exposes a total page count or total record count in the response, so iteration requires requesting pages until an empty or undersized result is returned.
