"Hey fellow devs! I'm building a crypto tracker app and I'm on the hunt for reliable free API keys and historical data sources. Has anyone got any solid recommendations? Coindesk's API is decent, but I'm looking for some alternatives."

"Hey guys, I've been using CoinGecko and CryptoCompare for API keys. Their free tiers have been reliable for my project so far, and they offer a good amount of historical data. Anyone else using them, or got other faves to share?"
"Hey guys, just wanted to throw in a shoutout for CryptoCompare - their API is free for hobby projects and they've got a solid dataset of crypto pair prices going back years. Also, CoinMarketCap has a decent API for fetching coin data, although the free tier has some limits. Worth checking out, esp if you're building a personal project"
"CryptoCompare's free API is solid for getting some real-time data, but for historical data, I've been using CoinGecko's API lately, which has been reliable. Their free tier has a 5,000 requests per minute cap, but that's usually enough for my testing needs. Anyone else have any other free API sources to share?"
