Track the entire crypto market in one call.
Retrieve real-time coin rankings, market caps, and price movements. Get a clean JSON array of top assets without managing exchange rate limits.
How it works
One request, one response.
- 1
Configure query parameters
Specify your target currency and sort order in a JSON body sent to the unified query endpoint.
- 2
Aggregate market data
The system retrieves the latest market snapshots from global sources and normalizes the data into a standard schema.
- 3
Receive JSON payload
Get a structured array of coins containing current valuations, rankings, and supply metrics for immediate use.
Capabilities
What you get.
Everything this endpoint does, without running the infrastructure yourself.
Global Currency Support
Convert market valuations into standard fiat or major cryptocurrencies by defining the vsCurrency parameter.
Flexible Market Sorting
Organize results by market cap, volume, or price change to identify market leaders using the order parameter.
Paginated Data Access
Handle large datasets by requesting specific slices of the market using the page and perPage controls.
Standardized Response Schema
Receive consistent data structures regardless of the underlying source or asset type for easier parsing.
Cost of ownership
Build it yourself, or call this.
Both are real options. Here is what each one actually costs you.
Run it yourself
- Write custom connectors for every exchange
- Build a normalization layer for different schemas
- Manage proxies to bypass rate limits
- Maintain 24/7 infrastructure
Call the API
- Single POST returns normalized market data
- No infrastructure maintenance or rate limit logic
- Pay only for successful calls
- Directly compatible with MCP environments
Integrate
Built for the language you use.
One HTTP endpoint. Copy the call in your language and go.
curl -X POST https://automatio.ai/api/v1/query \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTOMATIO_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "tool": "crypto_get_market_data", "params": {} }'In production
What people build with it.
Market Leaderboards
Build real-time dashboards showing the top 100 coins sorted by market capitalization. The API provides the pre-sorted array needed to render the UI without additional backend processing.
Portfolio Monitoring
Refresh the current value of user holdings against live market benchmarks. The endpoint returns current prices which can be multiplied by user balances to calculate total portfolio value.
Asset Discovery Tools
Create applications that allow users to browse the broader crypto market. Use the page parameter to let users explore beyond the top assets and filter by volume thresholds.
Choosing parameters
Which options matter.
The table below lists what exists. These are the calls worth making deliberately.
- vsCurrency
- perPage
- order
Alternatives
When to use something else.
A page that pretends it has no alternatives reads as an advert. These are the other real options.
Official Exchange APIs
Better for building a trading terminal where you only need data from one specific venue, but requires handling individual rate limits.
DIY Scrapers
Allows for custom data collection logic if you have the engineering time to maintain scrapers against changing public HTML structures.
WebSocket Feeds
Necessary if your application requires sub-millisecond updates for high-frequency trading strategies that cannot rely on REST polling.
Before you integrate
What it does not do.
The boundaries are as useful as the features. These are the ones worth knowing up front.
No Exchange Orderbooks
This endpoint provides global market data rather than the specific depth or bids and asks of a single trading pair on one exchange.
No Trading Execution
This is a data-only endpoint and cannot place buy or sell orders on any platform or exchange account.
Snapshot Latency
Prices are snapshots and may lag slightly behind the raw websocket feeds used by high-frequency trading venues.
