Probably best free crypto API for prices, wallet data, and DeFi. 120+ blockchains, 200+ exchanges, 10,000+ DeFi protocols, and MCP server. If you’re building anything that touches crypto data, whether that’s a portfolio tracker, a trading bot, a tax tool, a wallet explorer, or an AI assistant, CoinStats API covers most of what you need in a single integration. One API key gets you wallet balances, transaction histories, DeFi positions, market prices, exchange tickers, and portfolio analytics across every major blockchain. Most projects start by stitching together a chain-specific RPC node, a market data provider, a DeFi aggregator, and a transaction parser. CoinStats API replaces that entire stack. The platform behind this API powers the CoinStats app with over 1M monthly users, and the same data infrastructure is available to any developer through this API. It also includes a dedicated MCP Server for AI agents and LLM-powered applications, so both your code and your AI tools can query the same crypto data through one provider.

Data You Get Through a Single Integration

Most crypto projects need data from multiple sources: an RPC node for on-chain balances, a market data provider for prices, a DeFi aggregator for protocol positions, and yet another service for transaction parsing. CoinStats API consolidates all of these into a single endpoint, which is why it fits most crypto use cases out of the box.

Real-time prices, market caps, volumes, and OHLCV charts for 100,000+ coins.

Token holdings and transaction histories for any address across 120+ blockchains.

DeFi Positions

Staking, lending, and LP positions across 10,000+ protocols. Auto-detected per wallet.

Portfolio Analytics

Unified portfolio view with profit/loss, performance charts, and risk scores.

News & Market Sentiment

Aggregated crypto news, trending topics, and sentiment data from trusted sources.

Built for Developers and AI Agents

CoinStats API is a REST API with JSON responses, standard HTTP status codes, and API key authentication. If you’ve integrated any REST API before, you already know how this works. For AI-native applications, the CoinStats MCP Server exposes the same data through the Model Context Protocol, allowing LLMs and AI agents to query crypto data directly. This works with Claude, Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code (via Cline or Continue), and N8N, among other MCP clients.

REST API

JSON responses, API key auth, standard HTTP status codes. Works with any language.

MCP Server

20+ crypto data tools for AI assistants via npx. Prices, wallets, DeFi, and more.

What You Can Build

CoinStats API fits a wide range of crypto applications. Below are the most common use cases developers build with it, along with the endpoints and data types involved.

Portfolio Trackers

A portfolio tracker needs to pull holdings from multiple wallets and exchanges, calculate current values, and show profit/loss over time. With CoinStats API, you can query wallet balances across 120+ blockchains through the Wallet endpoints, get real-time pricing for every token from the Market Data endpoints, and aggregate everything into a single portfolio view using the Portfolio endpoints. The API handles the hard parts: normalizing token balances across different chains, detecting DeFi positions automatically across 10,000+ protocols, and calculating PnL with average buy/sell prices. You get a unified response whether the user holds SOL on Solana, ETH on Arbitrum, or BTC via an xpub key.

Trading Bots and Signal Engines

Trading systems need fast, reliable market data across multiple exchanges. CoinStats API aggregates pricing from 200+ centralized and decentralized exchanges, including Binance, Coinbase, and Hyperliquid. You can pull real-time tickers, compare prices across exchanges for arbitrage detection, and access historical OHLCV chart data for backtesting. The credit-based pricing model works well here: basic market data calls cost 1-2 credits each, so high-frequency polling stays cost-effective. Combine price endpoints with wallet balance checks to build systems that monitor positions and execute based on market conditions.

Tax and Accounting Tools

Crypto tax reporting requires complete transaction histories across every chain a user has touched. CoinStats API provides full transaction data for any wallet address, including token transfers, DeFi interactions, staking rewards, and LP activity. The Bitcoin endpoint supports xpub/ypub/zpub keys to capture all derived addresses from HD wallets. Each transaction includes timestamps, amounts, token identifiers, and USD values at the time of the transaction. This gives tax tools the raw data needed for cost-basis calculations (FIFO, LIFO, specific identification) without requiring users to manually export CSVs from each chain.

Multi-Chain Wallet Explorers

Building a wallet explorer that works across multiple blockchains normally requires integrating a separate data source for each chain. CoinStats API gives you a single endpoint that accepts any wallet address and returns balances, token holdings, transaction history, and DeFi positions regardless of the underlying chain. The API supports Solana, Ethereum and all EVM chains (Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, BSC, Avalanche, Fantom, and more), Bitcoin (including Lightning Network), and dozens of other networks: Cardano, Tron, Cosmos, Polkadot, Kusama, Near, Algorand, Stellar, Ripple, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Hedera, VeChain, StarkNet, zkSync, Polygon zkEVM, Immutable X, Monero, Zcash, and Dash, among others. One integration covers them all.

AI Crypto Assistants

The CoinStats MCP Server lets AI agents query crypto data the same way a developer would use the REST API. Instead of writing custom API calls, your AI assistant connects to the MCP Server and gets access to 20+ tools for looking up prices, checking wallet balances, analyzing portfolios, fetching news, and more. This works with Claude, Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code (via Cline or Continue), and N8N. Any application that supports the Model Context Protocol can connect to CoinStats data. The MCP Server is useful for building chatbots, copilot features, automated research agents, and any product where an LLM needs structured crypto data.

Embedded Widgets and Dashboards

If you’re embedding crypto data into an existing application (a fintech dashboard, a mobile wallet, a news platform), CoinStats API provides the data layer. Pull live price tickers for any coin, display portfolio summaries for connected wallets, show trending news, or build chain-specific analytics views. The API returns clean JSON that maps directly to UI components. Market data endpoints cover 100,000+ coins with real-time prices, market caps, volumes, and historical charts. All data comes from a single API key with consistent response formatting, so you don’t need to normalize data from multiple providers before rendering.

Who Uses CoinStats API

CoinStats API is built on the same data infrastructure that powers the CoinStats app, used by over 1M people every month. Developers integrate the API into portfolio apps, trading platforms, DeFi dashboards, tax tools, research products, and AI agents. The free tier lets you start building immediately, and credit-based pricing scales with actual usage rather than locking you into a fixed plan. Whether you’re a solo developer shipping a side project, a startup building a crypto product, or an enterprise team adding crypto data to an existing platform, the API covers the same data in the same way. No separate enterprise tier, no feature gates. The data you get on the free plan is the same data available on paid plans, just with higher credit limits.
