The CoinPaprika API gives prices, market caps and volumes for cryptocurrencies, for example to show a coin's price in a portfolio app. Requests are GET calls with JSON answers. Free, no key needed, for personal use, up to 20,000 calls a month per IP address. Every plan must show a "Powered by CoinPaprika" credit; commercial use needs a paid plan. An official MCP server at https://mcp.coinpaprika.com lets AI agents read the market data.
