Cryptocurrency Market Data source

Discussion in 'Crypto Assets' started by yoyotrader, Aug 12, 2017.

  1. Hi there,

    Anyone knows a most reliable data source or two to download daily or hourly Cryptocurrency data for BTC and many other Altcoins as well, to throw it in Tradestation or multicharts and run some analytics?
    Ideally it could be a live stream to Universal DDE (https://www.multicharts.com/trading-software/index.php/Universal_DDE) Excel or ASCII file that is constantly updated, so could have some monitoring ability as well.
    Many crypto websites have these APIs, that supposadly would do a job, but I can't find anyone knowledgable (even to pay) to actually piece it together and make an end product that works.
    Any advice would be appreciated....

    I think every bitcoin exchange has a realtime data api.
     
  5. Am looking for sources of historical cryptocurrency price data for coins that failed / were discontinued.

    Anyone know where to get this?

    Thanks.
     
  6. f you are looking for trading data, you can also take a look at the website of Kaiko, they sell Order Book data (outstanding orders snapshots) and Trade Data (all executed trades, tick by tick), for all major cryptocurrencies exchanges and all covered currency pairs. Or simply by googling it...
