Implementation notes

When to use Coinpaprika

Coinpaprika is a strong CoinGecko alternative with a more generous unauthenticated tier: 25,000 calls/month with no key required. It covers 2,000+ coins and includes social metrics, developer stats, and exchange data. It is especially useful as a fallback when CoinGecko is throttling.

Common pitfalls

Coinpaprika uses its own coin ID format: `btc-bitcoin`, `eth-ethereum`, etc. (ticker-name). This format is different from both CoinGecko's IDs and CoinMarketCap's. Call `/v1/coins` to build the mapping once and cache it.
Market data updates every 5 minutes, not in real time. The `last_updated` field in each response confirms the data age. Do not poll faster than every 5 minutes; it wastes calls without gaining fresher data.
The `/v1/tickers/{coin_id}/historical` endpoint requires a date range and only returns 365 days at maximum resolution. Requests for longer periods return 400 errors.
Coinpaprika's exchange data (`/v1/exchanges/{exchange_id}`) includes markets but the response format differs between exchanges — some return bid/ask spreads, others do not. Parse defensively.

Quick start (bash)
