Metadata is the static part of our data, i.e. the data that does not automatically changes. This includes data such as names, symbols and identifiers, but not volatile data such as prices or ranks. These endpoints are meant for when you need to quickly fetch all our data, for instance when bootstrapping your own new application and start out with a fresh set of data. No query parameters to fine-tune the set of results are supported, nor is CORS. It is meant to get all the data once, all at once.
The rate limits for the metadata endpoints are more limited then other endpoints. Check the response headers for more information about your limits. The limits might change in the future.
One request to fetch static data of all coins currently available on coinranking. This includes data such as names and symbols of a coin, but not volatile data such as prices or ranks. You need the regular coin endpoints for volatile data.
