Welcome! Follow the steps below to get started with using Coin Metrics data.

1. Set up Your API Key

Most of our data requires an API Key. If you want an API key, get in touch with us on our contact page:

We offer some data for free under our Community Data. For more information, go to: Coin Metrics Community Data

Data coverage can be seen by plugging in your API key at

2. Learn How to Use Coin Metrics Tools

Coin Metrics offers several ways to access our data.

For Business Users

You can use our to create charts dynamically using a point-and-click interface without any code. To learn how to use the charting tool, see our data visualization guide.

Data Visualization

You can directly download files from your browser by adding a "format=csv" in your HTTP request, i.e. https://api.coinmetrics.io/v4/timeseries/asset-metrics?assets=btc&metrics=PriceUSD,FlowInGEMUSD&frequency=1d&pretty=true&api_key=<your_key>&format=csv

On Google Sheets, you can use the IMPORTDATA function on the formula tab:

=IMPORTDATA("<API_KEY>&assets=usdc&frequency=1d&limit_per_asset=1&format=csv")

For more information on exporting data, see the guide: How To Export Data

For Developers
