Crypto Asset APIs to Power Blockchain Finance

Brave New Coin (BNC) has been providing data for the cryptographic asset marketplace since April 2014. BNC makes this data available through its API's. The V3 platform is the latest iteration, currently presenting market data but expanding to include indices, taxonomy and newsfeeds through a single interface. Access is either via REST or Websockets. In both cases authentication is by OAuth token. Contact [email protected] to obtain the API credentials.
