CoinAPI November update: New documentation, Open API and Metrics API

As 2023 wraps up, we’re excited to highlight the CoinAPI November update. We’ve rolled out some enhancements to elevate your experience. Curious about what’s in this update?

CoinAPI November update: revamped documentation

Our documentation has seen a significant transformation. We’ve transitioned to an entirely new framework to simplify our template and correct all identified glitches from the previous version.

Enhanced search method

Our updated documentation features an advanced search method, guaranteeing you can locate information effortlessly.

Improved link experience

We recognized that previously, sharing a documentation section link often misdirected users. We’ve rectified this, ensuring accurate navigation every time.

Better request presentation

The former documentation was predominantly text-focused. But now, by integrating directly with Open API, our documentation mirrors our actual API, eliminating prior issues of lost context in request presentation.

Code comments for developers

Our new approach ensures that any updates or modifications made by developers in the code comments are instantly reflected in our documentation, streamlining updates and maintaining accuracy.

Speedy documentation site

We’ve amped up our site’s speed, delivering a more seamless user experience.

Open API Publication

By publishing our Open API, we’re further bridging the gap between documentation and implementation. This transition guarantees that developers can smoothly integrate and experiment with our offerings. By publishing our Open API, we aim to promote a more open and collaborative environment for developers.

Easy import to Postman

No need to sift through our documentation minutely. Directly implement our API into Postman and understand our documentation more easily using AI tools for a more intuitive grasp of our API. For a detailed guide, browse our how-to tutorial.
