Pricing & displays

5 recipes
Direct data

Asset price pages

A price page with identity, market context and freshness.

Showing this data to your customers needs an Enterprise licence. Licensing

Your implementation

Resolve the asset ID, retrieve a ticker and attach metadata.

What to account for

Display the source timestamp and missing-value state; prices are not executable quotes.

Direct data

Multi-currency price displays

USD, EUR or other supported quote displays.

Showing this data to your customers needs an Enterprise licence. Licensing

Your implementation

Select a supported quote and retain that currency with every displayed value.

What to account for

Current-price and historical quote options differ; inspect the endpoint contract.

Direct data

Market overview dashboards

A market-wide overview alongside individual asset performance.

Showing this data to your customers needs an Enterprise licence. Licensing

Your implementation

Combine global context with a clearly defined asset universe.

What to account for

Do not add an arbitrary subset of assets and label it the entire market.

Embeddable price widgets

Price components for websites, media and applications.

Your implementation

Cache observations on your backend and render a small accessible component.

What to account for

Confirm redistribution rights, refresh cadence and attribution for your plan.

Oracle data inputs

A market-data input for your oracle infrastructure.

Showing this data to your customers needs an Enterprise licence. Licensing

Your implementation

Feed retrieved observations into your own validation, aggregation and publication pipeline.

What to account for

The API alone is not an on-chain oracle. Delivery guarantees and oracle usage rights need agreement.

Trading & monitoring

5 recipes
Direct data

Venue and pair discovery

A list of venues and trading pairs for an asset.

Your implementation

Join market rows to exchange identities and expose pair-level context.

What to account for

A listing is not proof of account eligibility or executable liquidity.

Link to this recipe
Build with data

Cross-venue price comparisons

A screen showing differences between reported venue prices.

Your implementation

Normalize quote currencies and compare observations with aligned timestamps.

What to account for

Price differences are not executable arbitrage; fees, depth and latency require other inputs.

EnterpriseBuild with data

Price and activity alerts

Your own threshold notifications.

Your implementation

Evaluate your rules against retrieved observations and deliver notifications through your own service.

What to account for

CoinPaprika supplies observations; scheduling, deduplication and delivery belong to your app.

Build with data

Stablecoin deviation monitoring

A monitor for departures from a specified reference value.

Your implementation

Define the reference currency and threshold, then track observed deviations over time.

What to account for

A price deviation is not proof of reserve impairment or issuer insolvency.

Wallets & valuation

5 recipes
Needs your data

Portfolio valuation

Indicative values for users’ holdings.

Your implementation

Multiply your balance records by matching asset prices and show the quote currency.

What to account for

Wallet balances, custody and transaction records are separate integrations.

Link to this recipe
Needs your data

Portfolio performance

A portfolio return view that accounts for cash flows.

Your implementation

Join historical prices with your dated trades, transfers and positions.

What to account for

Deposits, fees and withdrawals must be accounted for; price change alone is not portfolio return.

Link to this recipe
Needs your data

Treasury monitoring

A treasury exposure and valuation dashboard.

Your implementation

Join your treasury inventory with prices and your own accounting policy.

What to account for

Accounting treatment and asset ownership must be established independently.

Needs your data

Indicative payment conversion

A price estimate before a user chooses how to pay.

Your implementation

Combine the conversion with your quote expiry and payment-provider flow.

What to account for

Conversion data does not settle payments, lock a rate or guarantee execution.

Needs your data

Collateral exposure monitoring

An indicative collateral valuation and exposure view.

Your implementation

Combine prices with your positions, loan terms, haircuts and risk policies.

What to account for

These are reference prices, not a liquidation engine or guaranteed realizable collateral value.

Research & models

5 recipes
Build with data

Candlestick and indicator charts

OHLC charts with your own indicators.

Your implementation

Calculate moving averages or other indicators over a documented interval.

What to account for

Mark incomplete current-day bars; history depth depends on plan.

Needs your data

Backtesting datasets

Historical inputs for a repeatable strategy study.

Your implementation

Store asset IDs, date boundaries, missing points and strategy assumptions.

What to account for

Avoid survivorship and look-ahead bias; execution, fees and slippage need separate modeling.

Volatility and correlation studies

Derived risk and co-movement measures.

Your implementation

Align price observations, calculate returns and state the estimator and window.

What to account for

These are your calculations, not API-provided risk scores.

Custom baskets and indices

An indicative index for a defined set of assets.

Your implementation

Specify selection rules, weights, rebalancing and missing-data behavior.

What to account for

Current membership is not historical membership; avoid presenting research baskets as licensed benchmarks.

Needs your data

Accounting and tax valuation inputs

Price observations to support your reconciliation process.

Your implementation

Match your transaction records to asset IDs, dates, currencies and the valuation method you choose.

What to account for

Sectors & discovery

4 recipes
Build with data

Category rotation dashboards

Comparisons between sector baskets over time.

Your implementation

Record membership snapshots and calculate returns with consistent weights.

What to account for

The API’s current tags alone do not establish historical constituent membership.

Link to this recipe
Direct data

Asset search and autocomplete

Search across assets and related entities.

Your implementation

Show the entity type and full identity before allowing selection.

What to account for

Symbols may be ambiguous; never identify an asset by its symbol alone.

Link to this recipe
Starter+Build with data

Listing and coverage change tracking

A change log for assets in your supported universe.

Your implementation

Persist snapshots and compare active status, identifiers and coverage.

What to account for

A new entry in your snapshots is not necessarily a newly launched token.

Exchanges & markets

4 recipes
Direct data

Exchange directories and profiles

Exchange profiles with reported market activity.

Your implementation

Use the directory for discovery and fetch details for the selected exchange.

What to account for

Reported volume or a data score is not a solvency, custody or regulatory assessment.

Link to this recipe
Build with data

Pair concentration analysis

Concentration of reported volume across an exchange’s pairs.

Your implementation

Calculate shares with a stated denominator and handle excluded/outlier rows consistently.

What to account for

Use the same snapshot and scope; pair counts do not measure liquidity.

Link to this recipe
Build with data

Exchange activity history

A time series assembled from recorded exchange snapshots.

Your implementation

Collect and persist observations at a chosen cadence before computing changes.

What to account for

These referenced endpoints provide snapshots; historical coverage requires your collection or an agreed dataset.

Metadata & identity

5 recipes
Business+Direct data

Cross-provider ID migration

A maintained mapping between supported provider identifiers.

Your implementation

Use documented mappings, store provenance and process ID changes.

What to account for

Mapping access is plan-dependent; validate unresolved or changed assets.

Link to this recipe
Direct data

Asset research profiles

Profiles with project information and linked people.

Your implementation

Present available metadata with links and retrieval dates.

What to account for

Metadata and team associations are not independent due diligence or identity verification.

Link to this recipe
Direct data

Event calendars and watchlists

Project-event views with available dates and source links.

Your implementation

Associate each event with the resolved asset and expose the linked evidence.

What to account for

Coverage may be incomplete; event schedules can change.

Link to this recipe
Direct data

Contract-based historical research

Historical market context for a tracked contract.

Your implementation

Resolve the contract on its platform and use the supported historical ticker redirect.

What to account for

This is aggregated asset history, not wallet transactions or per-pool execution history.

AI & developer tools

4 recipes
Direct data

Market questions through MCP

Market-data tools in a compatible assistant.

Your implementation

Connect the hosted MCP service using the documented client configuration.

What to account for

Build with data

Custom research agents

An agent that retrieves evidence for market analysis.

Your implementation

Allowlist tools and preserve IDs, query parameters, units and timestamps in the answer.

What to account for

Fail explicitly on missing data; do not let a model manufacture observations.

Terminal and scheduled research jobs

Repeatable data collection from scripts or notebooks.

Your implementation

Use documented CLI or SDK operations and your own scheduler.

What to account for

Pin dependencies, handle request limits and keep credentials outside logs.

Streaming & operations

4 recipes
Build with data

Subscription lifecycle management

A backend that adjusts its market-data subscriptions.

Your implementation

Use subscribe/unsubscribe operations, heartbeat handling and reconnect policies.

What to account for

Do not assume automatic replay of missed observations; define gap recovery for your product.

Link to this recipe
EnterpriseBuild with data

Data freshness monitoring

Stale-data indicators for your own downstream systems.

Your implementation

Compare observation age against thresholds appropriate to your delivery contract.

What to account for

A successful request does not prove freshness; retain the source timestamp.

Link to this recipe
Starter+Direct data

API consumption dashboards

A view of your own API plan and usage.

Your implementation

Read key information on the documented paid API host and reconcile it with your request logs.

What to account for

DEX & on-chain

3 recipes
DexPaprika

Pool and token discovery

A DEX-oriented research interface.

Your implementation

Explore DexPaprika’s separate pool and token coverage.

Link to this recipe
DexPaprika

Pool liquidity research

Pool-level inputs for on-chain liquidity analysis.

Your implementation

Use DexPaprika documentation to select chains, pools and available measures.

What to account for

Liquidity data is not an executable trade quote; verify chain and pool coverage.

Link to this recipe
DexPaprika

CEX and DEX comparison

A combined view across centralized and decentralized markets.

Your implementation

Join CoinPaprika markets to DexPaprika assets using validated chain/contract identity.

What to account for

A REQUIREMENT YOU DON’T SEE?

Scope it with our data team.

Bring your data fields, asset universe, history and delivery requirements.

Know the boundaries.

These recipes are patterns you can build. They do not imply that CoinPaprika provides custody, order execution, wallet transaction indexing, payment settlement, tax calculations, compliance screening, full order books or derivatives funding, open interest and liquidations through the referenced endpoints.

Follow the documented contract of the service you use and confirm coverage and access. Legacy deprecated ticker and Twitter endpoints are intentionally excluded.
