About the Bitcoin Price API

Bitcoin Price works by fetching the latest market data for Bitcoin 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.

Ways to call it

One endpoint, many ways in — REST with JSON, XML, YAML and CSV, plus GraphQL and an MCP interface for AI agents.

JSON: Default REST response
XML: Markup format
YAML: Human-readable
CSV: Tabular export
GraphQL: Query language
MCP: For AI agents

Common questions about the Bitcoin Price API.

Read the docs →

What does the Bitcoin Price API do?

Bitcoin Price is a simple tool for getting the current price of Bitcoin. It returns the current price, market cap, 24-hour trading volume, and 24-hour price change in any currency.

How do I authenticate Bitcoin Price API requests?

Pass your API key in the x-api-key header over HTTPS. One key works across all 300+ APIVerve APIs — there are no per-endpoint credentials.

How much does the Bitcoin Price API cost?

Each call spends 2 credits from your shared pool. The free tier includes 200 credits every month, and paid plans add more headroom.

How fast is the Bitcoin Price API?

Response time depends on the endpoint — the p50 through p99 latency for this API is published on this page. Requests are served over HTTPS through a global edge network.

What response formats does the Bitcoin Price API support?

JSON by default, plus XML and YAML via the format parameter. GraphQL and an MCP interface for AI agents are available across the catalog.

What HTTP method does the Bitcoin Price API use?

GET over HTTPS, following standard REST conventions with a consistent { status, error, data } response envelope.

Request parameters — GET /v1/bitcoin

Sent in the query string. Premium parameters are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them. Anything not listed here is dropped rather than passed through.

Optional

Parameter	Type	Example	Description
`currency`OptionalPremium	string	`USD`	The currency to get the price in default USD
`hourly`OptionalPremium	boolean	`true`	Include hourly price data for the past 24 hours default false

Example request

1
2

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

Authentication

Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — no token exchange, and no per-endpoint scope to configure.

Header	When	Value
`x-api-key`Required	Every request	Your API key. Header names are case-insensitive, so `X-API-Key` is the same header.
`Authorization`Alternate	Instead of the above	`Bearer <key>` — for clients that only expose bearer auth. Resolves to the same account and the same billing.

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.

Response — GET /v1/bitcoin

Every APIVerve endpoint returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape.

Sample response

{
  "status": "ok",
  "error": null,
  "data": {
    "currency": "USD",
    "price": 97250.43,
    "marketCap": 1928000000000,
    "volume24h": 35420000000,
    "change24h": -1.52,
    "lastUpdated": "2026-02-07T12:00:00.000Z",
    "high24h": 98750.21,
    "low24h": 96125.88,
    "changeDirection": "down",
    "formatted": {
      "price": "$97,250.43",
      "marketCap": "$1.93T",
      "volume": "$35.42B",
      "priceWords": "ninety-seven thousand two hundred fifty dollars"
    }
  }
}

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 in which price is quoted
`price`	number	`97250.43`	Current Bitcoin price in specified currency
`marketCap`Premium	number	`1928000000000`	Total market capitalization in specified currency
`volume24h`Premium	number	`35420000000`	24-hour trading volume in specified currency
`change24h`Premium	number	`-1.52`	Percentage price change over the last 24 hours
`lastUpdated`	string	`"2026-02-07T12:00:00.000Z"`	ISO 8601 timestamp of the last price update
`high24h`Premium	number	`98750.21`	Highest price in the last 24 hours
`low24h`Premium	number	`96125.88`	Lowest price in the last 24 hours
`changeDirection`	string	`"down"`	Price movement direction: up, down, or unchanged
`formatted`	object	`{...}`
`price`Premium	string	`"$97,250.43"`	Formatted price with currency symbol and thousands separator
`marketCap`Premium	string	`"$1.93T"`	Formatted market cap in human-readable units (T, B, M)
`volume`Premium	string	`"$35.42B"`	Formatted 24-hour volume in human-readable units
`priceWords`Premium	string	`"ninety-seven thousand two hundred fifty dollars"`	Price written out in English words for accessibility

Response headers

Every response carries your balance, so your own code always knows where it stands without polling anything. All four are exposed to browsers through CORS.

Header	What it carries
`x-api-remaining-credits`	Credits left in the current cycle
`x-api-credits-used`	Credits spent in the current cycle
`x-api-max-credits`	The cycle's allowance
`x-api-version`	Version of the endpoint that answered

Errors

Read the HTTP status first, then error for the specific reason. The body names the parameter that has to change.

Status	Meaning	What to do
`400`	Input was rejected	Read `error`; it names the parameter that has to change.
`401`	Key missing or invalid	Check the header name and the key value.
`403`	Key valid, but not permitted here	A key restriction or an IP allow-list — never a bad key.
`429`	Rate limited, or out of credits	Read `error` to tell them apart, then back off or top up.

What a call costs — 2 credits per call

Credits are shared across every APIVerve API — one balance, one key, one bill. Failed requests never count against it, so a rejected input costs nothing.

Plan	Per month	Credits	Bitcoin Price calls	Per 1,000 calls
Free	Free	200	100	Free
Starter	$29.99	200,000	100,000	$0.30
Pro	$99.99	1,000,000	500,000	$0.20
Mega	$299.99	4,000,000	2,000,000	$0.15

Calls are what the credits buy at this API's rate — spend them here, on any of the other APIs, or across both. Nothing is reserved per endpoint.
