Query the chain · Historical data API

Bitcoin historical data API back to the 2009 genesis block

Backtests and research need depth, not just the last few weeks. The Bitcoin historical data API serves the full chain since the 2009 genesis block: every block and transaction, point-in-time address balances, daily on-chain metrics like active addresses and exchange flows, plus historical price and market data aligned to the same timeline.

Pull a date range over the API, write SQL for a custom series, or bulk-export entire datasets for offline analysis. The history is indexed and reconciled block by block, so your numbers tie out. This is informational data for research, not financial or investment advice.

Why it works

What you get with historical data api

Full depth since 2009

Every block and transaction from the genesis block onward is indexed, so you can study any address, cohort or metric across the entire history of the chain.

Metrics and price aligned

Daily on-chain metrics and historical market price share one timeline, so you can join on-chain activity to price without stitching vendors together.

Bulk export for research

Pull date ranges over the API, query custom series in SQL, or export whole datasets, so heavy historical work runs offline at scale.

What it handles

The indexed Bitcoin chain, queryable your way

Look up an address, a transaction, a UTXO, the rich list or an on-chain metric, by REST API, SQL or dashboard. The same authoritative data, reconciled block-by-block against the canonical chain, without running a node.

Why BitcoinDatabase

One platform, queryable three ways

Not a raw node to sync, not an indexer to build, and not five vendors to stitch together. The fully-indexed Bitcoin blockchain, available as a REST API, as SQL, and as dashboards, on one authoritative dataset.

REST API

Typed JSON for addresses, transactions, balances, UTXOs and metrics. Drop it into apps, wallets, explorers and agents with curl, Python or our SDKs.

SQL access

Run SQL directly against the indexed Bitcoin dataset for ad-hoc analysis, cohorts and exports, the same data the API and dashboards read from.

Compliance-first

Informational on-chain data and analytics only. Entity labels and flow tracing are framed as tooling to support a regulated team's own review, not accusations.

Good questions

Questions about historical data api
