get first historical price #31

Closed Bagongo closed 3 years ago

Bagongo commented 3 years ago

Is there a way to get the first listed price for a coin, without knowing the date it was firstly listed?

Hi!

As I checked you can get the first listed price using the endpoint /coins/{id}/market_chart/range -> cg.get_coin_market_chart_range_by_id(), raging from an extremely past timestamp (e.g. beginning of 2008 -> 1199138400) until a more recent timestamp (e.g. today -> 1618396519). This endpoint returns daily data for duration above 90 days:

Get historical market data include price, market cap, and 24h volume within a range of timestamp (granularity auto) Minutely data will be used for duration within 1 day, Hourly data will be used for duration between 1 day and 90 days, Daily data will be used for duration above 90 days.

and it seems to return the Open price for each date.

For example:

Cheers

For example:

Getting first historical price for Bitcoin (BTC):

L=cg.get_coin_market_chart_range_by_id(id='bitcoin', vs_currency='usd', from_timestamp=1199138400, to_timestamp=1618396519) L['prices'][0] # first historical price available, 1367107200000 -> 28 Apr 2013 [1367107200000, 135.3] L['prices'][-1] #last historical price available, 1618358400000 -> 14 Apr 2021 [1618358400000, 63576.676041048275] Similar for Ethereum (ETH): L=cg.get_coin_market_chart_range_by_id(id='ethereum', vs_currency='usd', from_timestamp=1199138400, to_timestamp=1618396519) L['prices'][0] # first historical price available, 1438905600000 -> 07 Aug 2015 [1438905600000, 2.83162] L['prices'][-1] # last historical price, 1618358400000 -> 14 Apr 2021 [1618358400000, 2304.3435163110134] Cheers
