One of the biggest challenges for builders in the cryptocurrency community is the vast inconsistency in function and quality of exchange APIs. Every exchange has its own quirks which present an impossible challenge for developers who want to integrate support for a range of exchanges. The impulsive whims of each exchange’s technical team means things can change without notice, assets can unexpectedly become unavailable or unlisted, rate limits can be burdensome, and the API calls you were comfortable using may disappear. There are no standards or best practices that have been established, so dealing with exchanges becomes exhausting.

After months of development, the Shrimpy team is releasing the solution to this colossal problem. We are tired of watching amazing development teams struggle due to arrangements that are out of their control. The crypto community deserves better. Bringing crypto to the masses requires a unified interface under which we can access and manage every exchange. Providing development teams the tools that are necessary to create incredible products.

Shrimpy is pleased to announce the release of our Universal Crypto Exchange APIs.
