How CoinAPI’s SLA Applies to External Data Sources

CoinAPI operates and monitors the infrastructure used to collect, process, and deliver market data. The SLA covers the availability of CoinAPI services within the agreed service scope.

Since market data originates from independent exchanges, exchange outages, maintenance, API changes, or source-side data issues are outside the scope of the SLA.

For this reason, the SLA does not cover exchange-side events such as:

  • Exchange outages
  • Exchange maintenance
  • Exchange API failures
  • Exchange-side delayed or missing market data
  • Exchange schema or symbol changes
  • Incorrect data published by an exchange

If exchange-side data gaps are identified, CoinAPI may perform historical backfilling where technically possible. However, because this data originates from third-party exchanges, its completeness and continuity are not covered by the SLA.

The SLA also does not cover issues outside CoinAPI's direct control, including:

  • Customer-side infrastructure problems
  • Incorrect API implementation
  • Invalid authentication or configuration
  • Usage limit or quota exhaustion
  • Public Internet routing or ISP issues
  • Third-party cloud or networking failures outside the agreed deployment scope

Customers receive technical assistance during incidents according to their service plan, agreed support scope, and applicable SLA terms.

Enterprise Service Level Agreements

Organizations with business-critical workloads often require service commitments beyond the standard SLA. CoinAPI Enterprise offers customized Service Level Agreements designed around the customer's technical, operational, and legal requirements.

Depending on the deployment, Enterprise SLA terms may include:

  • Higher service availability commitments
  • Dedicated infrastructure
  • Private networking
  • AWS VPC Peering
  • AWS Direct Connect
  • Regional deployments
  • Latency commitments where agreed
  • Dedicated support channels
  • Incident response and escalation targets
  • Custom legal agreements
  • Dedicated account management
  • Custom data delivery workflows
  • Third-party SLA measurement or verification, where applicable

Enterprise SLAs are tailored individually and should be discussed with our Sales team.

Historical Service Availability

High availability is fundamental to how CoinAPI is designed and operated. Our infrastructure is continuously monitored to provide reliable access to production services across all supported APIs.

Customers can review historical uptime, incidents, scheduled maintenance, and current service status through the public CoinAPI Status Page.

Monitoring historical availability helps organizations evaluate operational reliability and provides transparency into how incidents are communicated and resolved.

Getting the Most from Your SLA

A few operational practices can reduce avoidable interruptions and make incident investigation faster and more accurate. We recommend that customers:

  • Use the correct API endpoints and authentication methods.
  • Monitor API usage and subscription limits.
  • Configure Auto Recharge or Spend Management when uninterrupted access is required.
  • Implement retry and reconnect logic, particularly for WebSocket applications.
  • Subscribe to the CoinAPI Status Page for operational updates.
  • Submit support tickets for production issues.
  • Maintain accurate logs and UTC timestamps to assist with troubleshooting.

These practices make it easier to identify the source of an issue and reduce the time needed to investigate it.
