Access Our Data
There are several ways to get Coin Metrics real-time and historical network, market, and index data. They differ in how much code you write, how much data moves at once, and how soon you see a new observation. Most customers use more than one. An API suits interactive and real-time work. Cloud Delivery or the Data Downloader suit volumes that make repeated API calls impractical.
Choose an access method
Python API Client
You work in Python and want results as pandas or polars DataFrames, with paging, typing, and parallel fetching handled for you
An API key and pip install coinmetrics-api-client
REST / HTTP API
You work in another language, or you are building a service that queries a specific slice on demand
An API key
WebSocket API
You want observations pushed as they happen rather than polling for them
An API key
Cloud Delivery
You want whole datasets, multi-year, landed in your own object storage or warehouse
An Amazon S3 or Snowflake account, plus provisioning by your account manager
Charting Tool
You are exploring visually and want the data behind a chart as CSV or Excel
An account login
Google Sheets
You want a spreadsheet that refreshes itself from a saved query
An API key
The Python client, the Data Downloader, and the Google Sheets integration are all built on the API, so they inherit its rules. The API Reference documents every endpoint from the OpenAPI specification, alongside API Conventions, Authentication, Rate limits, and the Backward Compatibility Policy.
