Shrimpy has been rocking the cryptocurrency data scene lately and we aren’t slowing down. Our team is excited to announce we now support free charting data across the 16 exchanges we currently support. This OHLCV data can be accessed through our Universal Crypto Exchange APIs here:

Once again — this data is free. That means you don’t need to register an account, you don’t need to subscribe to our newsletter, and you don’t even need an API key. It’s public for all to access.

We have more releases coming soon, so stay up to date with everything Shrimpy has to offer by joining our Developer Telegram.
