For Agents
Look up cryptocurrency assets, exchanges, market cap, and OHLCV price history for portfolio dashboards and price alerts via BraveNewCoin's nine RapidAPI endpoints.

List supported crypto assets via GET /asset and resolve a single asset's metadata via GET /asset/{assetId}
Retrieve OHLCV (open/high/low/close/volume) candles for an asset and market through GET /ohlcv
Pull current market-capitalization snapshots across the universe via GET /market-cap
Look up specific markets and the assets quoted on them via GET /market and GET /market/{marketId}
GET STARTED
Use for: I want to fetch the current price of bitcoin, Get the OHLCV candles for ethereum on a specific exchange, List all crypto assets BraveNewCoin tracks, Retrieve market-cap data for the top 100 cryptocurrencies
Not supported: Does not handle order execution, custody, or wallet transfers — use for read-only crypto asset, market, exchange, and OHLCV market-data lookups only.
Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI document for BraveNewCoin API, keeping it validated and agent-ready.
Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for BraveNewCoin API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. BraveNewCoin is a cryptocurrency market data provider distributed via RapidAPI, exposing nine endpoints for asset metadata, exchange directories, market lookups, market-cap snapshots, and OHLCV time series. Authentication is the standard RapidAPI pair of X-RapidAPI-Key plus X-RapidAPI-Host headers, with a separate JWT obtained from /oauth/token used as a bearer for protected endpoints. The data set covers thousands of crypto assets and the exchanges that trade them, suitable for portfolio dashboards, alerting bots, and quantitative research feeds.
Enumerate exchanges that trade tracked assets via GET /exchange and GET /exchange/{exchangeId}
Mint a JWT for protected endpoints via POST /oauth/token using the RapidAPI subscription key
Patterns agents use BraveNewCoin API API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Crypto portfolio dashboard pricing
Power a portfolio dashboard that shows live values and 24-hour changes by mapping each holding to a BraveNewCoin assetId and pulling the latest market-cap and OHLCV data. Use GET /asset/{assetId} for the symbol and metadata, then GET /ohlcv for the latest close to compute current value, all through one RapidAPI subscription.
For each holding, call GET /asset/{assetId} to confirm the symbol, then GET /ohlcv with that assetId and timeframe='1d' and return the latest close price.
Price-alert bot for retail crypto traders
Build a Telegram or Discord bot that pings users when an asset crosses a threshold. Poll GET /ohlcv for the recent candle, compare close to the user's target, and notify when crossed. The /market and /exchange endpoints let users pin alerts to a specific venue rather than a global aggregate price.
Every 60 seconds, GET /ohlcv with assetId='BTC' and marketId='BTC-USD-Coinbase', take the last candle close, and if close >= 70000 send a message to the user.
Quantitative research data feed
Feed historical candles into a backtesting or signal-research pipeline by paging GET /ohlcv across asset and market combinations. Combine with GET /exchange for venue metadata and GET /market-cap for market-cap-weighted universe construction. Suitable for Jupyter-based research before committing to a paid tick-data provider.
Iterate the asset list from GET /asset, then for each asset call GET /ohlcv with timeframe='1h' to assemble a panel of hourly candles for the last 30 days.
AI agent integration via Jentic
An agent that needs to answer 'what is the price of X?' or build a quick portfolio summary can discover BraveNewCoin through Jentic, load the right asset or OHLCV operation, and execute it without holding the RapidAPI key in its prompt context. Jentic keeps the X-RapidAPI-Key and X-RapidAPI-Host headers in the vault and attaches them at execution time.
Through Jentic, search 'get the current price of a cryptocurrency', load the operation that targets GET /ohlcv, and execute with assetId and timeframe supplied by the user query.
9 endpoints — jentic publishes the only available openapi specification for bravenewcoin api, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
BraveNewCoin uses RapidAPI auth (X-RapidAPI-Key + X-RapidAPI-Host) and an optional JWT. Jentic stores all three encrypted in the vault and injects them into outgoing requests at execution time so the agent never sees the raw RapidAPI subscription key.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic for intents like 'get the current price of a cryptocurrency' or 'list crypto exchanges' and Jentic returns the matching BraveNewCoin operation (GET /ohlcv, GET /exchange) with input parameters typed and the RapidAPI host pre-wired.
Time to first call
Direct BraveNewCoin integration: half a day to wire the RapidAPI headers, JWT refresh, and pagination across nine endpoints. Through Jentic: under 15 minutes — search, load, execute.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Braintree GraphQL API
Use Braintree to handle fiat payment processing alongside BraveNewCoin's crypto market data
Choose Braintree when the agent needs to charge a customer in fiat; use BraveNewCoin to look up a current crypto reference price.
Breadcrumbs API
Score crypto-product leads in Breadcrumbs based on market signals retrieved from BraveNewCoin
Use Breadcrumbs to update lead scores; use BraveNewCoin for the underlying crypto market data input.
Braze API
Send price-movement notifications via Braze using thresholds computed from BraveNewCoin data
Use Braze when the agent needs to deliver an alert to end users; use BraveNewCoin to compute the trigger condition.
Specific to using BraveNewCoin API API through Jentic.
Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for BraveNewCoin API?
BraveNewCoin distributes the API through RapidAPI and does not publish a standalone OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call BraveNewCoin API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.
What authentication does the BraveNewCoin API use?
Most endpoints require the standard RapidAPI headers: X-RapidAPI-Key (your subscription key) and X-RapidAPI-Host set to bravenewcoin.p.rapidapi.com. Protected endpoints additionally require a JWT bearer minted at POST /oauth/token. Through Jentic, all three credentials live in the encrypted vault.
Can I get historical OHLCV candles from the BraveNewCoin API?
Yes. GET /ohlcv returns open/high/low/close/volume candles for a given assetId and optional marketId and timeframe. Use it for both recent live pricing and historical lookback for backtests; pagination parameters limit how many candles are returned per call.
What are the rate limits for the BraveNewCoin API?
Rate limits are set by the RapidAPI subscription tier you purchase, not the OpenAPI spec — check your plan in the RapidAPI dashboard for monthly request quotas and burst limits before scaling polling jobs against /ohlcv or /market-cap.
How do I fetch a current crypto price with the BraveNewCoin API through Jentic?
Install the SDK with pip install jentic, then await client.search('get the current price of a cryptocurrency'), await client.load on the GET /ohlcv operation, and await client.execute with assetId and timeframe='1d'. Read the latest candle's close field as the price.
Does the BraveNewCoin API cover all major exchanges?
GET /exchange enumerates the exchanges BraveNewCoin tracks and GET /market lists the trading pairs available across them. Coverage varies by venue — call /exchange first to confirm the venue you need is supported before pinning OHLCV calls to a specific marketId.
/exchange
List exchanges tracked by BraveNewCoin
/oauth/token
