Get price history of an asset
Discover how to retrieve the historical price data of any cryptocurrency using the Mobula API. This guide offers a step-by-step walkthrough for accessing past price records, providing valuable insights into cryptocurrency market trends.
What You’ll Need:
- An idea of what you want to build.
- An API key from the Dashboard (only for production use, you can use the API without an API key in development mode).
- The name of the cryptocurrency asset or its smart-contract address for querying.
Walkthrough:
1
Prepare Your Query
Choose the cryptocurrency asset for your query. If using a smart-contract address, also specify the blockchain.
2
Execute the API Call
Perform the API request using cURL, Axios, or the Mobula SDK (Beta):
Using cURL:
curl --request GET \
--url 'https://api.mobula.io/api/1/market/history?asset=Floki&from=1697648158'
Using Axios:
import axios from "axios";
axios.get('https://api.mobula.io/api/1/market/history?asset=Floki&from=1697648158')
.then(response => console.log(response.data))
.catch(error => console.log(error));
Using Mobula SDK (Beta):
import { Mobula } from "mobula-sdk";
const mobula = new Mobula("YOUR_API_KEY_HERE");
mobula.fetchAssetMarketHistory({
asset: "Floki",
from: 1697648158,
// Optional parameters:
blockchain: "BLOCKCHAIN_NAME",
to: "JS_TIMESTAMP"
})
.then(response => console.log(response))
.catch(error => console.log(error));
3
Review the Response
The API will return a detailed history of the asset’s price, including timestamps and price values:
{
"data": {
"price_history": [
[1624623325000, 1.113340820039224e-9],
[1624626986000, 2.2957561345049817e-10],
// Additional data points...

]
}
}
