The industry leader in aggregated cryptocurrency data and one of the most popular price tracking sites on the internet, CoinMarketCap, has announced that it updated its API with enhanced premium features for professionals.

CoinMarketCap already provides a public API for free, however, the new “more robust” professional API will bring new features and be available across a number of different price tiers.

Free users can continue to use limited service under the free “trial” option. At each new price tier the amount of call credits, access to historical data, and market data end points increases. Paid tiers start at $79, $299, and $699 per month billed annually, and larger scale enterprise options are available à la carte through CoinMarketCap.

New Professional API features include "additional endpoints, more calls, higher rate limits, exchange and market and historical data,” according to statement provided by Carylyne Chan, Vice President of Marketing at CoinMarketCap in an email response to Coindesk.

CoinMarketCap Founder Brandon Chez added:

"Our API comes with a best-in-class developer dashboard that will help every developer – from hobbyist to large-scale cryptocurrency product teams – make the most of our data.”

CoinMarketCap says the update is in response to "a lot of inbound requests” from developers and funds. Other “highly requested” new features include a daily CMC newsletter, derivatives market data, an update to its recently launched iOS app, and an all-new exchange ranking system.

CoinMarketCap recently responded to claims of fake volume data by removing the volume limit requirement for new exchanges, and offering new tools for users to filter volume data and detect fluctuations in fee models and other important factors to allow for greater overall analysis.

Earlier this year, the data aggregator celebrated its 5th anniversary, updated its look, and launched an iOS app and redesigned website.
