AI-native data access, stronger reliability, and better derivatives coverage.

Reliability is a key focus this month.

For Binance Options (BINANCEOPT), CoinAPI now includes a REST polling fallback when WebSocket connections are unavailable. This ensures continuous data access even during connectivity issues.

The system also introduces:

  • Graceful shutdown handling
  • Healthcheck support for better monitoring

Together, these changes reduce downtime risk and improve stability for real-time trading systems.

A major upgrade has been released for the MCP (Model Context Protocol) API.

Instead of being auto-generated from REST endpoints, the MCP API is now designed specifically for AI agents. This improves how models interact with financial data across:

  • Market Data API
  • Flat Files API
  • Exchange Rates API
  • Indexes API

This shift makes it easier to build AI workflows that rely on structured, consistent, and context-aware data β€” especially useful for analytics and prediction systems like those powered by FinFeedAPI.

There is one important change to be aware of.

The SSE MCP (Server-Sent Events) API is now deprecated and will be removed on:

April 16, 2026

To avoid disruptions, users should migrate:

  • from /sse
  • to /mcp (Streamable HTTP)

Historical data access has been improved with a symbol translation fallback cache.

For metrics older than 7 days:

  • Missing symbol mappings are now automatically resolved
  • Data availability is improved without manual fixes

This makes long-range analysis more reliable, especially when working across changing symbol standards.

Support has been added for Hyperliquid HIP-3 deployer perpetuals (DEPLOYER_PERPETUAL).

This includes:

  • Spot metrics integration
  • Quote asset fixes for better consistency

These updates improve coverage for newer derivatives markets and make cross-exchange analysis easier.

Data quality continues to improve.

OHLCV aggregation now skips trades with zero price or size, which:

  • Removes invalid data points
  • Improves accuracy of candles
  • Reduces noise in analytics

This is especially important for high-frequency strategies and backtesting.

The Flat Files API now includes MCP support, enabling AI-powered data exploration directly on large datasets.

This allows:

  • Easier querying of flat files
  • Better integration with AI agents
  • More efficient handling of large historical datasets

At API BRICKS, the goal is to make financial data usable in real-world systems β€” from trading infrastructure to AI models.

CoinAPI provides reliable market data across exchanges, with flexible delivery through REST, WebSocket, and flat files.

FinFeedAPI extends this into structured financial datasets, including prediction markets data designed for analytics, forecasting, and AI workflows.
