Don't Just Ask for the Price
Imagine you're building a trading bot.
Your API returns:
BTC = $X
Looks simple.
But then ask:
Which exchanges?
Which pairs?
Which trades?
Which aggregation method?
What timestamp?
Were outliers removed?
Suddenly, the number has a story.
DIA's free crypto API is built around that idea.
It currently covers 3,000+ tokens using direct trade data from 100+ CEX and DEX sources. �
DIA
DIA describes its pipeline as:
Raw Trades
↓
Transparent Methodology
↓
Computed Feed
↓
API / Onchain Oracle
And developers can access the data through REST or GraphQL. �
$DIA
That's useful because financial data shouldn't have to be a black box.
When you're building an application around a number, understanding how that number was produced can be just as important as the number itself.
That's the difference between simply consuming data and actually being able to inspect it.
Don't just ask: “What's the price?”
Ask:
“Can I trace it?”
