Methodology
Coin Metrics collects data from major mining pools through the Stratum protocol, a popular software used by individual miners to connect to mining pools. That enables Coin Metrics to access all data a mining pool constituent would normally see. In order to compute this metric, the coinbase transactions of all blocks currently being worked on by major mining pools are aggregated and assessed. The statistical mean is then calculated.

Sample Query
metrics can be accessed using these endpoints:
timeseries/asset-metrics
and by passing in the metric ID's mining_reward*
in the metrics
parameter.
Returns requested metrics for specified assets. Results for block by block metrics (1b
frequency) are ordered by tuple (asset, height, block_hash)
, all other metrics are ordered by tuple (asset, time)
. You can change the sorting using sort
query parameter. Supported output formats are json
(default) and csv
, use format
query parameter to override it. To fetch the next page of results use next_page_url
JSON response field or x-next-page-url
CSV HTTP header if present. If multiple metrics are requested in the same time the strict policy for partially available metrics among requested ones is applied:
Time series of metrics for an asset.
Token of the next page results for a given request.
URL of the next page results for a given request.
