February 2026 introduces a mix of new features, integrations, and important fixes across CoinAPI and FinFeedAPI. The focus this month is clear: better data precision, stronger infrastructure for high-frequency use cases, and deeper support for AI-driven workflows.

Working with high-resolution data just got easier.

CoinAPI now supports flat files for 1-second OHLCV (1SEC), with intelligent routing between sub-minute and standard data sources. This ensures you always get the most accurate dataset available, without needing to manage sources manually.

To give more flexibility in real-time feeds, a new QUOTES_ONLY parameter is now available for:

  • Binance
  • Coinbase

This allows you to subscribe only to quote updates, reducing noise and bandwidth when trades aren’t needed.

Several improvements focus on making data more reliable and easier to work with.

Sub-minute OHLCV queries now automatically fill missing time boundaries, which removes the need for manual adjustments when querying precise time ranges.

On the infrastructure side:

  • 1-second OHLCV data loss has been resolved using a per-symbol last-write-wins buffer
  • Data is now flushed with a slight delay to ensure completeness

Additional fixes include:

  • Correct handling of empty fields in OKEx spot data
  • Proper parsing of scientific notation for Coinbase and MEXC
  • More accurate contract size handling across exchanges

New integrations bring more markets into a single unified API.

Full market data support is now available for:

  • ARKHAM
  • STANDX

At the same time, existing integrations have been extended:

  • MEXC and Gate.io now include index price, mark price, and funding rates
  • Bitstamp adds support for perpetuals
  • BYBITINVERSE now includes additional market metrics

These updates make it easier to track derivatives and pricing signals across exchanges without stitching data together.

A major theme this month is AI-ready data access.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) support is now available across:

  • Prediction Markets API
  • Stock API
  • Indexes API
  • Exchange Rates API

This enables direct integration with AI systems, making it easier to query, analyze, and build models on top of structured financial and prediction market data.

For performance and stability, proactive rate limiting has also been introduced. This prevents overload during high-traffic periods and keeps queries consistent.

FinFeedAPI expands its capabilities with new historical endpoints.

You can now query:

  • Trades
  • Quotes
  • Order books

All with flexible time ranges and S3 flat file integration for larger datasets.

Time-based filtering has also been improved by aligning queries with the time_coinapi field, ensuring more accurate results across datasets.

Additionally, OHLCV endpoint limits are now consistent with Market Data API standards.

Fixes have been applied to ensure accurate currency data:

  • Corrected inverted exchange rates for AOA, BIF, and TWD

This improves consistency when working with global FX datasets.

At API BRICKS, the goal is simple: make financial data easier to use in real systems.

CoinAPI delivers real-time and historical market data across crypto exchanges, with flexible access through REST, WebSocket, and flat files.

FinFeedAPI extends this into stocks, SEC and prediction markets — including structured datasets designed for analytics, forecasting, and AI workflows.
