🐝 Introducing the PeakeCoin Market API — Trade Smarter with Custom JSON

As PeakeCoin continues to evolve on the Hive blockchain, we're proud to unveil a powerful new utility: the PeakeCoin Market API. Designed for developers, bots, and blockchain automation tools, this API enables seamless integration with Hive Engine trading pairs — all revolving around PeakeCoin (PEK).

This blog post walks you through what the API does, what endpoints are available, and includes the full source code — open for community review and contribution.
