Access Free Crypto APIs in Google Sheets
There are a huge number of crypto APIs, and virtually all of them offer market data for free through their public endpoints.
This article lists the top crypto APIs accessed by users of the API Connector extension for Sheets, along with the type of authentication they require. For Open APIs (those with no authorization requirements) a sample URL is provided so you can click the URL and see the results in your browser.
Two very popular crypto APIs are NOT listed below: Binance and CoinGecko. The reason is that both APIs rate limit users of Google Sheets, resulting in a lot of errors. The APIs listed below are a lot more reliable and largely provide the same market data.

You may wish to add that Binance is no longer supported?
OK, I removed it, but Binance is still supported if you use a different base domain, e.g.

That sounds like the list of metrics sent back by Binance's ticker endpoint, is that right? If so, I don't think they really define them in their documentation but they're pretty standard metrics so you can Google them for more info. Or, here's a quick list of definitions if it helps:
