EMS Trading API

CoinAPI, established in 2017, has evolved from a personal project by CEO Artur Pietrzyk into a leading platform in the cryptocurrency data industry. Initially, Artur used the technology for high-frequency market-making in lesser-known crypto markets. Frustrated by the challenges of interacting with multiple exchanges, he pivoted his focus and launched CoinAPI's first product: the Market Data API. This API provided a unified, reliable, and fast way to access real-time and historical data from various cryptocurrency markets, collecting up to 200GB of compressed data daily.

However, CoinAPI is not just about market data anymore. The company aims to move beyond the perception that it solely offers Market Data API. With the crypto market's rapid growth, CoinAPI aims to create a comprehensive portfolio of dedicated APIs for the cryptocurrency market and potentially for traditional currency markets in the future. One of the newest products is EMS Trading API.

EMS API, or the trading API, allows trading on various exchanges. Unlike Market Data API, which generates data, EMS API enables operations and only generates data about executed operations. It is sold in two models: managed cloud and self-hosted. The managed cloud is easier to use, while self-hosted allows users to run the API on their infrastructure, keeping their trading activities private. EMS API connects to exchange APIs and allows operations like adding orders, providing a unified interface for managing multiple accounts.

In summary, CoinAPI has grown from a hobbyist project into a comprehensive platform for cryptocurrency data. With a diverse product portfolio that now includes Node-as-a-Service and a commitment to innovation, CoinAPI aims to be the go-to solution for all cryptocurrency data needs, whether for trading, analytics, or development.
