CoinMarketCap provides a comprehensive cryptocurrency market data API, offering real-time and historical data on cryptocurrencies and exchanges.
Tools
Exchange Listings Historical
Retrieve a list of all cryptocurrency exchanges tracked by CoinMarketCap with their IDs, names, and metadata. Returns exchange IDs needed for other exchange-related API calls. Each exchange includes timestamps indicating how far back historical data is available. Note: This uses the /v1/exchange/map endpoint as the historical listings endpoint is not available in the API.
