Overview
Ethereum Price works by fetching the latest market data for Ethereum from multiple reliable sources. It returns the current price, market capitalization, 24-hour trading volume, and 24-hour percentage change. The data is refreshed hourly and can be returned in any supported currency.
Endpoint
One host, one path per API. The block below shows this call in four languages; every one of them is the same HTTP request. Making requests covers the timeouts, retries and parameter rules that apply to all of them. The SDKs wrap the same call in a typed client.
curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/ethereum?currency=USD&hourly=true" \
-H "x-api-key: your_api_key_here"const res = await fetch('https://api.apiverve.com/v1/ethereum?currency=USD&hourly=true', {
headers: { 'x-api-key': 'your_api_key_here' },
});
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const { data } = await res.json();
console.log(data);import requests
res = requests.get(
"https://api.apiverve.com/v1/ethereum?currency=USD&hourly=true",
headers={"x-api-key": "your_api_key_here"},
timeout=15,
)
res.raise_for_status()
print(res.json()["data"])package main
import (
"fmt"
"io"
"net/http"
)
func main() {
req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/ethereum?currency=USD&hourly=true", nil)
req.Header.Set("x-api-key", "your_api_key_here")
res, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer res.Body.Close()
out, _ := io.ReadAll(res.Body)
fmt.Println(string(out))
}Replace your_api_key_here with the key from your dashboard. When the inputs arrive as a list rather than one at a time, batch requests run up to 200 of them through this same API in a single call.
Authentication
Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — there is no token exchange and no per-endpoint scope to configure. Authentication covers creating, rotating and revoking keys.
A 401 means the key is missing, invalid or expired. A 403 means the key is valid but not permitted here — blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Running out of credits is a 429.
Parameters
Sent in the query string. Premium parameters are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
currencyOptionalPremium | string | The currency to get the price in default USD |
hourlyOptionalPremium | boolean | Include hourly price data for the past 24 hours |
Response
Every API returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape. Response format covers the envelope, the other output formats and how premium fields are withheld.

}Response fields
Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.
| Field | Type | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
currency | string | "USD" | Currency code for the returned price (e.g., USD) |
price | number | 2685.12 | Current Ethereum price in the specified currency |
marketCapPremium | number | 323000000000 | Total market capitalization of Ethereum |
volume24hPremium | number | 14850000000 | Trading volume in the last 24 hours |
change24hPremium | number | 2.34 | Price percentage change over the last 24 hours |
lastUpdatedPremium | string | "2026-02-07T12:00:00.000Z" | ISO timestamp of when data was last updated |
high24hPremium | number | 2742.5 | Highest price in the last 24 hours |
low24hPremium | number | 2618.75 | Lowest price in the last 24 hours |
changeDirection | string | "up" | Price movement direction: up, down, or unchanged |

volumePremium | string | "$14.85B" | Formatted trading volume with billions/millions notation |
priceWordsPremium | string | "two thousand six hundred eighty-five dollars" | Price expressed in English words for accessibility |
Errors
Read the HTTP status first, then error for the specific reason. The body names the parameter that has to change. Error handling covers the full status list and which of them are worth retrying.
| Status | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
400 | Input was rejected | Read error; it names the parameter. |
401 | Key missing or invalid | Check the header name and the key value. |
403 | Key valid, but not permitted | A key restriction or IP allow-list; see key scoping. |
429 | Rate limited, or out of credits | Read error to tell them apart; see rate limits. |
Other ways to use Ethereum Price
Set up Ethereum Price on APIVerve, or reach the same source a different way. Your APIVerve account and credits work on all of them — one key, one balance.
