Ethereum Price API Reference

Overview

Ethereum Price works by fetching the latest market data for Ethereum from multiple reliable sources. It returns the current price and movement direction, and paid plans add market capitalization, 24-hour trading volume, and 24-hour percentage change. Paid plans also get 1-hour, 7-day, 30-day and 1-year changes, market-cap rank, circulating and maximum supply, fully diluted valuation, and the all-time high and low with their dates and the distance from the high. The data is refreshed hourly and, on paid plans, can be returned in any supported currency. The last 30 daily closes are stored too: paid plans get the 30-day high, low, average and volatility, and daily=true returns the closes themselves, each converted at that day's exchange rate.

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.

GEThttps://api.apiverve.com/v1/ethereum

1
2

curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/ethereum?currency=USD&hourly=true&daily=true" \
  -H "x-api-key: your_api_key_here"

const res = await fetch('https://api.apiverve.com/v1/ethereum?currency=USD&hourly=true&daily=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&daily=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&daily=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.

401 is the only auth verdict

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
`currency`OptionalPremium	string	The currency to get the price in default USD
`hourly`OptionalPremium	boolean	Include hourly price data for the past 24 hours
`daily`OptionalPremium	boolean	Include the daily closing price, market cap and volume for the last 30 days

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.

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.

Use cases

NFT Mint Quoting: When collectors initiate an NFT purchase, minting engines pull the latest ETH rate to display fiat-equivalent costs before transaction confirmation.
DeFi Collateral Monitoring: Lending protocols evaluate borrower health against liquidation thresholds by verifying real-time price changes and movement direction across active loan positions.
Web3 Paywall Processing: Digital media paywalls compute the exact fractional ETH owed for access passes using real-time price quotes during checkout.
Smart Contract Escrow: To safeguard milestone payouts, freelance escrow platforms record the ETH price and movement direction when an agreement begins.
