Welcome & Product Overview

Crypto intelligence for the future of finance

Welcome to the Coin Metrics Product Documentation. At Coin Metrics, we organize the world's crypto data and make it transparent and accessible. We offer network data, market data, indexes, and a holistic risk management offering.

Network Data

Network Data Pro (NDP)

• Network Data Pro is a data feed of insightful, aggregate network data metrics for all of the top cryptoassets. These metrics are available with an API key through our API via the /timeseries/asset-metrics endpoint or through our Data Visualization tools or CM Pro Charts. All Network Data metrics are described in Network Data Overview.

Blockchain Explorer (Atlas)

• Atlas is a complete blockchain search engine that enables users to look up information on transactions, addresses, and blocks through a high-performance API. An API key is required to query the /blockchain-v2/ endpoint via our API. Specifics on the format of the API output are described below in the Atlas section of this Encyclopedia.

Market Data

Market Data Feed (MDF)

This data is available through our API (timeseries/asset-metrics endpoint) and also in our Data Visualization and CM Pro Charts.
