CryptoCompare Data Parser & API

CryptoCompare (now CCData) is an institutional-grade cryptocurrency market data provider aggregating prices, volume and analytics across 5,000+ coins and 250+ exchanges, and StockAPIS extracts its data — real-time prices, market cap, OHLCV history, supply and exchange rates — through a single REST API. CryptoCompare offers an official public API, and StockAPIS normalizes it to the same schema you use for every other source, so you query CryptoCompare, CoinGecko and on-exchange feeds the same way without maintaining separate integrations.

Quick Start

import stockapis
 
client = stockapis.Client(api_key="your-api-key")
 
# Real-time price and market data for a coin
btc = client.cryptocompare.get_price(symbol="BTC", currency="USD")
print(f"Bitcoin: ${btc['price']}  ·  market cap ${btc['marketCap']:,.0f}")

const { StockAPIS } = require("stockapis");
const client = new StockAPIS({ apiKey: "your-api-key" });
 
// Daily OHLCV history for technical analysis
const ohlcv = await client.cryptocompare.getOHLCV({
  symbol: "ETH",
  currency: "USD",
  interval: "1d",
  limit: 365,
});
console.log(ohlcv[0]);
