TL;DR
Nexchange provides a REST API for discovering cryptocurrency exchange trading pairs, including current rates, minimum/maximum transaction limits, and exchange availability. The API is completely open with no authentication required, returning JSON-formatted data about which coins can be traded across which platforms. Useful for building comparison tools that find the best route for a given crypto trade.
Quick start: https://api.n.exchange/en/api/v1/pair/
No API key needed — just make a request!
How to Use This API
1. List All Available Trading Pairs
Returns all supported cryptocurrency pairs with rates and limits:
https://api.n.exchange/en/api/v1/pair/
The response includes base currency, quote currency, current rate, minimum/maximum amounts, and exchange name.
2. JavaScript — Browse Pairs
fetch('https://api.n.exchange/en/api/v1/pair/')
.then(r => r.json())
.then(pairs => {
pairs.forEach(p => {
console.log(`${p.base}/${p.quote}: ${p.rate} (min: ${p.min_amount_quote})`);
});
});
3. Python — Find Best BTC Rate
import requests
pairs = requests.get(
'https://api.n.exchange/en/api/v1/pair/'
).json()
btc_pairs = [p for p in pairs if p.base == 'BTC']
for p in sorted(btc_pairs, key=lambda x: x['rate']):
print(f"{p.quote}: {p.rate} @ {p.exchange}")
