Crypto Coin Price, Rank and Market Cap (Alternative.me)

alternativeme/coin-ticker

Price, market cap, 24 hour volume, rank, supply and 1h/24h/7d percentage change for one cryptocurrency, in USD and optionally a second currency. Identify the coin by its website slug (bitcoin, ethereum, solana) or numeric id (1, 1027). An unknown coin is a validation error.
