How about a https://coinbin.org/lbc,btc,eth -type query? (similar to a few stock market apis I've used)

Is the data from coinmarketcap.com?

Just compared a few coins from coinbin to http://coincap.io/front/ and the prices seem to differ, so my initial instinct is to say no, but dev feedback would be great :)

EDIT: Just looked through the source of the project, and they source their info from https://coinmarketcap-nexuist.rhcloud.com/api/all, which is indeed built on top of the coinmarketcap API.

The data was stale, it turns out, for some coins — issue fixed now.
