Get global market cap history

Growth This endpoint requires the growth plan or higher. Free, Basic and Startup plans can use preview access.

With the global market caps history endpoint, you can retrieve historical cryptocurrency market capitalization data, enabling you to analyze trends and track market performance over time.

On Coinranking, we use this endpoint on our global market cap chart.

Preview access

Free, Basic and Startup plans can test this endpoint with five successful requests per account per UTC day. Use the documented endpoint URL with your existing API key. Preview access is applied automatically. The allowance resets at 00:00 UTC.

All API keys, resource IDs, query parameters and pagination requests share this endpoint's allowance for your account. Failed requests do not consume the preview allowance. Successful previews also count toward your normal API usage, and your plan's result, historical-window and rate limits still apply. See endpoint previews for limits, response headers and quota errors.
