Title: Free Cryptocurrency Trading Data API's: Legit or Scams?

Just saw an ad popup in this very forum about a "free" API that claims to provide real-time crypto market data. Sounds too good to be true, anyone else seen these types of offers popping up lately? Thinking of taking a closer look but wanna hear from you guys first.

"Been using CryptoCompare's API for a while now, and it's legit as far as I can tell. They offer free tier plans that are pretty decent for small-scale projects or personal use. Just be aware of the usage limits."

"yup, been there, done that. I used to use Alpha Vantage for free API, was pretty legit but had usage limits. Now I'm using CoinGecko, they offer a free tier with some decent limits"

"Dude, I've looked into a few of these APIs and to be honest, most of them have some sort of catch or require a subscription for decent data. Alpaca and Coinbase Pro offer some legit free APIs, but they're not super comprehensive. Proceed with caution, fam."
