CoinMarketCap Expands Its Pro API With Real-World Asset Data Endpoints
The RWA endpoints resolve each asset through a stable identifier and span the full data lifecycle. An ID map and a metadata endpoint
CoinMarketCap has recently added real-world asset (RWA) endpoints to its Pro API, providing developers with a unified source of data on tokenized versions of traditional financial instruments. These seven RWA endpoints cover a range of assets including equities, commodities, currencies, government securities, ETFs, and real estate.
The endpoints utilize stable identifiers and cover the entire data lifecycle, offering developers access to descriptive and company information, aggregate tokenized prices, market capitalization, and 24-hour volume through various endpoints. Core endpoints are included in CoinMarketCap's free Basic plan and higher tiers. This expansion comes at a time when SpaceX completed its public listing, and CoinMarketCap published an RWA developer guide demonstrating how to retrieve data on the company's tokenized stock through the same endpoints.
The RWA endpoints complement CoinMarketCap's existing comprehensive API offering, which includes real-time and historical crypto prices, exchange data, proprietary indexes, and real-time WebSocket streaming. CoinMarketCap CEO Rush emphasized the importance of providing developers with a single dependable source of truth for building crypto products.
This update follows CoinMarketCap's recent ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 certifications, ensuring information security and privacy management across its platform and API. CoinMarketCap, known as the Home Of Crypto, boasts over 1 billion monthly page views and serves as a trusted source for crypto data for major media outlets.
