• You may obtain the coin id (API ID) via several ways:

  • refers to respective coin page and find "API ID".
  • refers to /coins/list endpoint.
  • refers to Google Sheets here.
  • You may also flag to include more data such as tickers, market data, community data, developer data and sparkline.
  • You may refer to last_updated in the endpoint response to check whether the price is stale.

• Tickers are limited to 100 items, to get more tickers, please go to /coins/{id}/tickers.

  • Coin descriptions may include newline characters represented as \r\n (escape sequences), which may require processing for proper formatting.
  • When dex_pair_format=symbol, the DEX pair base and target are displayed in symbol format (e.g. WETH, USDC) instead of as contract addresses.

    • Every 60 seconds for all the API plans.
    • Community data for Telegram will be updated on weekly basis (Reddit & Twitter community data are no longer supported).
