Stream Live Crypto Prices
for 2.3M+ Coins

Each WebSocket connection consumes one API request from your plan. After the connection is established the data stream itself consumes nothing further, however many messages arrive. The one exception is a subscription message: changing your coin list mid-stream costs one additional request.

Up to 100 coin UUIDs on a single WebSocket. A top-100 market table is therefore exactly one connection. Pass them as currency-uuids[] in the connection URL, or send them in a subscription message once connected. See the WebSocket documentation.

Rates are pushed the moment Coinranking calculates them. You can throttle to at most one message per coin per second (1s, the default) or per ten seconds (10s) to avoid overloading a frontend. The same rates over REST only update once a minute.

Reopen the socket and resubscribe. The new connection costs one API request, the same as the first. The server sends confirmation and error messages you can act on, so your client can distinguish a dropped connection from a rejected subscription and back off accordingly.

No. The Coinranking API is a full REST API on its own. Coins, price history back to 2010, OHLCV candles, exchanges, DEXs, futures, indicators and global stats all work over plain HTTP with the same key. REST prices refresh once a minute; the socket exists for when that is not fast enough. Browse every endpoint in the documentation.

Yes. The Coinranking API free plan gives 5,000 API calls a month, one API key and one year of price history, at no cost and with no credit card. Create an account, generate a key, and send it in the x-access-token header. See the documentation to get started. WebSockets require the Professional paid plan.

Coinranking accepts credit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, AMEX and Cartes Bancaires, and cryptocurrency including Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, USDC and over 80 other coins via Binance Pay. Payments are processed by Mollie, a PCI DSS Level 1 certified provider. View all payment methods.

Yes. Coinranking plans can be upgraded, downgraded or cancelled at any time from the billing page, without contacting support. Changes take effect at the end of the current billing cycle, and access continues until that cycle ends.

The Coinranking API returns a 429 status code once you pass your rate limit, until enough time has passed. Every response carries your current usage in its headers, so limits can be handled in code, and usage is also visible in the developer dashboard. Upgrading your plan or adding a top-up package raises the ceiling.

The Coinranking API aggregates prices from 190 exchanges and more than 56,000 markets into a single rate per coin. Rates are recalculated continuously and pushed over WebSockets, while the REST endpoints return that same aggregate refreshed once a minute.

The Coinranking API has kept a historical uptime above 99.9%. Current status, incident history and scheduled maintenance are published on the API status page, so you can verify it rather than take the figure on trust. A contracted SLA is available as a paid add-on.
