What's the best site to get historic Bitcoin prices (since inception ) via API? 👨💻
Discussion
🤔
Unfortunately not since inception but would be interesting to play with: https://utxo.live/oracle/UTXOracle.py
https://bitcoincharts.com/about/markets-api/
MtGox data would go back to when there was early , significant price discovery.
At inception, there was no price.
I love that site as they also allow you to download their entire database as a zipped CSV. That way you can be your own historical price API within minutes.
Consider using the raw data from my repo https://github.com/jlopp/bitcoin-exchange-rates-block-height
Perfect thank you!!!
Coinbase doesn’t require authentication: https://docs.cloud.coinbase.com/sign-in-with-coinbase/docs/api-prices#get-spot-price
CoinGecko also: https://docs.coingecko.com/reference/simple-price
CoinGecko seems to rate limit more aggressively than Coinbase.
Sorry, I linked to the wrong CoinGecko API reference. That one was for the Pro API. The Public API is here: https://docs.coingecko.com/v3.0.1/reference/simple-price
Perfect thanks Terry I'll check it!!
