CoinWorldCap Developer Support Request a key

People search

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

Search the people we hold from RootData by name. A person is found when they hold or held a role at a project — someone RootData no longer lists on any team is not.

Query parameters

There is no sort: the order is the search's own. id, slug and sort are not parameters here and are ignored.

Response

Item fields

Field Type Notes
id number The person's id — what /people/info takes as id
name string
avatar_url string Empty string when there is none
assets array Every crypto asset the person holds or held a role at, each once, those with a current role first. [] when none of them is an asset we list
assets[].id number The asset id /assets takes
assets[].slug, assets[].name string

Order. Names equal to q first, then names that start with it, then the rest — each ignoring case, and each group by id. So a search for a short name finds the person with exactly that name on the first page.

Examples

bash
# Everyone whose name contains "vitalik"
curl -H "X-Api-Key: <your-api-key>" \
  "https://open-api.coinworldcap.com/openapi/v1/people?q=vitalik"
HTTP status code When
400 40000 q missing, shorter than 2 or longer than 64 characters after trimming, or not valid UTF-8; the paging limits of /assets
