Overview
CoinLobster provides cryptocurrency market data feeds — tickers, order books, and trades across exchanges.
⚠️ Breaking change (verified 2026-08): the API now requires authentication — requests return HTTP 401 “Authentication required” (previously keyless). The
auth: Nolisting is outdated; check their developer docs for the current auth model before building on it.
What it used to provide
curl "https://www.coinlobster.com/api/v1/ticker?currency=BTC&fiat=USD"Notes
- The host now redirects (308) to an auth-gated API (verified).
- Register at coinlobster.com/developers for current access details.
- Alternatively, the exchange APIs listed on this site (Bybit, Gate.io, KuCoin…) expose similar keyless market data.
FAQ
Is CoinLobster still free? As of 2026-08 requests require authentication (401, verified) — the keyless tier is gone.
Why 401? The API moved to an auth-gated model (verified).
What are the alternatives? Bybit / Gate.io / KuCoin public market data (all verified keyless).
