Information

In order to use the CoinMarketCap API, you will need an API key which you can sign up for one here.

Data from the API will be cached for 5 minutes at a time (that is how long it takes CoinMarketCap to refresh their data) this way you will not get rate limited.

The class has only 2 main functions, one for global data and one for ticker data.

Example

from coinmarketcap import CoinMarketCap

CMC  = CoinMarketCap('API_KEY_HERE')

global_data = CMC._global() # Global data example
print('Cryptocurrencies : ' + str(global_data['cryptocurrencies']))
print('Exchanges        : ' + str(global_data['exchanges']))
print('BTC Dominance    : ' + str(global_data['btc_dominance']))
print('ETH Dominance    : ' + str(global_data['eth_dominance']))
print('Market Cap       : ' + str(global_data['market_cap']))
print('Volume           : ' + str(global_data['volume']))

ticker_data = CMC._ticker() # Ticker data example
for item in ticker_data:
    print('ID          : ' + item)
    print('Name        : ' + ticker_data[item]['name'])
    print('Symbol      : ' + ticker_data[item]['symbol'])
    print('Slug        : ' + ticker_data[item]['slug'])
    print('Rank        : ' + str(ticker_data[item]['rank']))
