How do you normalize crypto exchange APIs in Python?

Grab bulk endpoints where possible, parallelize stragglers like OKX with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=8). Cache intervals, assume defaults.

Which crypto exchange has the best funding rate API?

Bitget: two bulk calls, clear fields. MEXC close second. Avoid OKX's per-symbol hell.

Yes—no auth needed. Unify schema for rates/volume/mark/nextTime, filter liquidity >$1M, compute spreads.

Crypto exchange APIs? A zoo of inconsistencies. One dev wrangled seven into a single schema with clever Python plumbing.

Bitget and MEXC offer the cleanest bulk APIs for funding data—no excuses. 𝕏
OKX forces 285 parallel calls; use ThreadPoolExecutor to survive. 𝕏
AI agents will soon auto-generate this normalization, obsoleting manual plumbing. 𝕏
