Improved Endpoints - Support Token Lookup by Symbol and Name
The following endpoints now support token lookup by symbol and name, in addition to the existing API ID support:
Previously, these endpoints only supported token lookup by API IDs. This enhancement streamlines token data retrieval and eliminates the need for manual coin ID mapping.
Example Mapping:
API Ids | Symbol | Name |
---|---|---|
bitcoin | btc | Bitcoin |
tether | usdt | Tether |
usd-coin | usdc | USDC |
Lookup Priority: When multiple lookup parameters are provided, the system applies the following priority order: id (highest) > name > symbol (lowest).
Filtering by Symbol withinclude_tokens
The include_tokens
parameter has been added to provide flexibility when filtering by symbol:
include_tokens=top
: Returns only the top market cap token for the specified symbol.include_tokens=all
: Returns all tokens that share the specified symbol.
Example Request & Data:
Request Example | Token Data Returned | Remarks |
