Luzia is a cryptocurrency pricing and market data aggregation platform that provides developers with reliable, fast, and affordable access to real-time exchange data through a single, unified REST API.
The Problem
Developers building crypto applications face a fragmented landscape. Each exchange, Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, Bybit, OKX ships its own API with different authentication schemes, rate limits, data formats, and symbol conventions. Maintaining connectors across five or more platforms is expensive, error-prone, and diverts engineering time from building actual products. Existing aggregation solutions like CoinGecko Pro and CoinMarketCap charge enterprise-grade prices that put them out of reach for indie developers, startups, and small teams.
The Solution
Luzia solves this by providing one API, one format, and one authentication method for all supported exchanges. Developers make a single request to get normalized ticker data — consistent symbol formatting
(BTC/USDT), standardized response structures, and reliable uptime backed by circuit breaker fault tolerance. What previously took days of integration work now takes minutes.
Key Features
- Real-time price data from Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, Bybit, and OKX via persistent WebSocket connections
- Unified REST API with consistent JSON responses across all exchanges
- API key authentication with secure, revocable keys and tiered rate limiting
- Developer portal for key management, usage monitoring, and subscription billing
- AI-native integration via a built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, enabling AI agents and assistants to query live market data directly
- TypeScript SDK for seamless integration in JavaScript/TypeScript projects
- Multi-level caching (in-memory + Redis) for sub-100ms response times and high availability
Who It's For
Luzia targets developers and small teams building crypto-adjacent products: algorithmic trading bots, portfolio trackers, analytics dashboards, DeFi applications, price alert systems, and research tools. It's designed for the indie developer tired of maintaining five exchange connectors and the startup that needs reliable market data without enterprise pricing. It provides a free crypto API tier for the builders to experiment.
