Getting started

Quickstart

Create a key and make your first request in under five minutes.

1. Create a key

Sign in with your Coinmico account and open the developer dashboard. Click Create API key, name it after the app that will use it, and copy the key — it is shown once and stored hashed.

2. Make a request

Send the key as the x-api-key header on any /v1 endpoint.

curl "https://api.coinmico.com/v1/prices?ids=bitcoin,ethereum" \
  -H "x-api-key: $COINMICO_API_KEY"

3. Read the response

Every price field comes with a measured flag. true means the number was computed from trades on the exchanges we track; false means it was taken from a reference source because we did not see enough trades. The headers tell you how much of the hour's 600 requests you have left.

Next

Browse the API reference, add the attribution to your app, and cache according to the freshness guide.
