During beta closed - Coinranking API 2

  • feat(feedback): rename query parameter to the search parameter which explains its use better.
  • feat: remove Coinranking index from API:
    the ‘Coinranking’ index is the same as the market cap index, at least to the outside world (internally it is used in Redis as a concatenation of the three tiers of market-cap indexes, to easily determine the rank of each coin). Making it available in the API is confusing and unnecessary though, so it is removed.
  • fix: when no coins are found when using a filter the server won’t throw an error.
  • fix: filter on symbols also finds symbols with asterisks, e.g. searching for BTT also finds BTT*.
  • feat: replace asterisks in symbols now we have UUIDs everywhere. So BTT* will be shown as BTT.
  • feat: markets don’t have a pair property anymore, but a separate base and quote symbols.
  • feat: added baseUuid, quoteUuid, and exchangeUuid to markets to make finding the relations more easily.
  • feat: move supply info to its own object in the coins endpoint. Also take away confirmed/approved supply confusion by always using confirmed.
  • feat: penalty was a confusing property. Will be replaced by tier in the future.
  • feat: make adding array validation more clear.

During beta closed - Coinranking API 2

  • fix(change-percentage) the percentages are now calculated based on rates, instead of averages.
    This has a couple of advantages:
    • Changes percentages are consistent throughout our API.
    • The change used for ordering coins on change is no longer calculated just based on Bitcoin, but reflects the change towards the selected reference currency.
    • Calculating the change is (for now only in the backend) no longer restricted to the defined timeperiods, e.g. 24h, 7d. etc. in preparation for variable timeperiods in the future.

  • fix(change-percentages) prevent requests with both a filter and orderBy.
    The backend does not support this, and users now get a validation error when they try to use both parameters.

  • feat: remove first seen since it is no longer used.

  • docs: change :coin_uuid in just :UUID for consistency.

  • docs: change the UUID type to UUID instead of Number.

  • docs: use the correct icon for Dollar and the correct UUIDs.

  • fix: standardized timestamps throughout api, which means no longer accepting milliseconds but just UNIX epoch in seconds.

  • fix: responses with lists that contain multiple values, such as coin history, now return objects again with ‘timestamp’ and ‘price’ keys.

  • feat(naming): use coinrankingUrl instead of pageOnCoinranking. Because all external links are called …Url we changed pageOnCoinranking to coinrankingUrl as well to be more consistent.

  • fix(validation) UUIDs in the path are now validated. Path parameter validation was lacking for subendpoints (e.g. /coin/:UUID/exchanges).

  • feat(naming): Source is an external codename. In practice, these are only exchanges. So instead of source we changed all mentions of ‘source’ to ‘exchange’.

  • chore(docs): the documentation now has examples about how to use each query parameter.

And expect more soon! More feedback from our beta testers is still on our backlog, and we’ll continuously make improvements to the new API.
