FomoAPI vs Fomo Api: two different APIs, explained
FomoAPI (fomoapi.io) and Fomo Api (fomo-api.com) are separate products with similar names. Here's who's who, how each one bills, and which fits what you're building.
Published October 17, 2026 · 4 min read
Search for fomoapi and you'll find two products a hyphen apart: FomoAPI at fomoapi.io, and Fomo Api at fomo-api.com. Both serve data about FOMO (fomo.family) traders, they aren't the same API, and neither one is FOMO's. Here's how to tell them apart.
Who's who
| FOMOAPI.IO | FOMO API (FOMO-API.COM) | |
|---|---|---|
| Billing | Credits; each endpoint costs a set number | Requests; one request is one call, however many rows it returns |
| Free tier | Monthly credit bucket | 1,500 calls a month, no card |
| Leaderboard | Yes | Yes: FOMO's figures as reported, plus our own computed board |
| Trader wallets | Yes, per user lookup | Yes, on every leaderboard row where we've verified a link |
| Realized PnL from on-chain swaps | Not its focus | Yes, FIFO cost basis, with coverage on every row |
| Live streams | WebSocket feeds | No; REST only |

The billing difference matters more than the price
Credit pricing means the cost of a call depends on which call it is. On our own FomoAPI.io account in October 2026, one user profile lookup cost 250 credits, and the free bucket held 250,000: about 1,000 profile lookups a month. That's plenty for occasional lookups and tight if you need a wallet for every trader on a leaderboard.
Fomo Api counts requests. GET /v1/leaderboard returns up to 150 traders, with their linked wallets, as one call. If your app reads leaderboards and trader rows in bulk, compare cost per trader, not just cost per call.
Which one fits
- You need a live stream of FOMO activity: FomoAPI.io's WebSocket feeds are built for that. We don't offer streams.
- You need leaderboards and trader wallets in bulk: Fomo Api's
/v1/leaderboard. See the FOMO leaderboard API guide. - You need PnL you can audit: Fomo Api's
board=solanaand/v1/wallet/:address, computed from on-chain swaps with a coverage figure on every number.
