Chain history

GET https://open-api.coinworldcap.com/openapi/v1/chains/history

One chain's total market cap and 24-hour volume over time, by day or by hour — the history of /chains' market figures.

Fields

Field Type Notes
id, interval number, string What you asked for
points[].time string RFC3339 UTC: the start of the hour, or midnight for a day
points[].market_cap, points[].volume_24h string USD, never null

Each point is the last figure we recorded in its hour or day, from the same records as /chains. /chains' coins_count and market_cap_share have no history. New points arrive every hour, and the newest ones can still be revised for a while after; today's daily point appears once the day is over. How far back a chain goes depends on when we started recording it (Data methodology).

Examples

bash
# A chain's daily market cap and volume since 1 October
