Bitcoin price API and historical market data tied to the chain

A Bitcoin price API should give you more than a spot number. BitcoinDatabase serves daily and intraday OHLCV back through Bitcoin's history, plus the on-chain market data that a price feed alone can not: realized price, aggregate cost basis, the price coins last moved at, and market cap versus realized cap. Because we index every block, each price figure can be joined to what the chain was actually doing that day, which is the context quantitative desks and researchers need.

Pull a historical daily close for backtesting, stream a recent candle for a dashboard, or query realized price to see the network's average acquisition cost over time. The same data is available in SQL and dashboards, so analysts and apps read from one indexed dataset. This is informational market and on-chain data only, not financial, investment or trading advice.

Why it works

What you get with price api

Deep historical prices

Daily and intraday OHLCV reaching back through Bitcoin history, ready for backtests, charts and models, delivered as clean typed JSON over REST or SQL.

On-chain market context

Go beyond spot with realized price, aggregate cost basis and market cap versus realized cap, metrics computed from the indexed UTXO set, not just an exchange feed.

Joined to the chain

Every price point can be tied to on-chain activity for the same day, so you analyze price and behavior together instead of stitching two vendors.

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 price api

Daily and intraday OHLCV candles and closes across Bitcoin history, plus on-chain market metrics like realized price, aggregate cost basis and realized cap. Because the chain is fully indexed, each price figure can be joined to on-chain activity for the same day. It is informational market data, not trading advice.

Most price APIs return exchange quotes only. BitcoinDatabase pairs prices with on-chain measures computed from the indexed UTXO set, such as realized price and cost basis, so you can study what holders paid and how coins moved, not just the last trade. This is informational data, not financial advice.
