TL;DR
WazirX, one of India's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, provides a public REST API endpoint that returns 24-hour ticker data for all listed trading pairs. The response includes the last traded price, 24-hour change percentage, high/low, base volume, and quote volume for every pair on the exchange. Particularly useful for tracking INR (Indian Rupee) crypto pairs that are less commonly available on global exchanges.
