API reference
The Token Terminal API allows you to access all of the data that powers the Token Terminal web application.
Users on the Token Terminal Pro plan can query the data with their designated API key, which can be found on their account page. The API key should be kept a secret, so make sure to not share it or store it in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, and so forth.
The API is read-only, supports REST calls, uses predictable resource-oriented URLs, and returns JSON-encoded responses and error messages.
| We use standard HTTP response codes | |
|---|---|
| 200 | for success |
| 308 | for redirects when e.g. project_id has been renamed (only when projects make a significant rebranding) |
| 400 | for when query parameters are invalid, see included JSON formatted error message for advice |
| 402 | for when subscription isn't valid |
| 403 | for invalid access |
| 500 | if we ever mess up |
Authentication
The API uses HTTP Token Auth to authenticate requests. This means each request must have an Authorization header (your API key).
When logged in, each example automatically includes your personal API key. You can find the API key on your personal account page.

Get historical metrics for a project
API endpointUse this endpoint to retrieve historical data for a project. Fill in the required fields on the modal to the right.
Click the button on the modal to the right to retrieve live data from the API.
| Request | Description |
|---|---|
| project_id(required) | Allows you to select one of the projects available. The full list is available on the projects endpoint (see above). |
| metric_ids | Allows you to select one or more of the metrics available for a specific project. When including multiple metrics, separate each one with a comma. Example: fees, volume. If no metric_id is selected, the query defaults to returning all available metrics for the project. |
| aggregate_by | Allows you to query specific metrics in a more granular way. For example, it allows you to query a project's revenue per chain. Note that it is only applicable to certain metrics. For example, it is not possible to aggregate the price metric by chain, whereas the fees metric can be split by chain. The currently supported aggregations are chain, version, and business line. |
| start | Allows you to select the start date for the query. If no start is selected, the query defaults to launch date or the first date for which there is data available for the chosen metric(s). |
| end | Allows you to select the end date for the query. If no end is selected, the query defaults to the latest date for which there is data available for the chosen metric(s). |
| order_direction | Allows you to define how the response is sorted. The response is always sorted by timestamp, and by selecting desc the response starts from the most recent entry, and vice versa for asc. If no order_direction is selected, the response defaults to desc. |
| Response | Description |
|---|---|
| timestamp | Returns the historical date for a given metric(s). |
| project_name | Returns the project name used on the web application. |
| chain | Returns the chosen metric(s) per chain. Has to be selected from the aggregate_by parameter.
|
| business_line | Returns the chosen metric(s) per business line. Has to be selected from the aggregate_by parameter.
|
| version | Returns the chosen metric(s) per version. Has to be selected from the aggregate_by parameter.
|
| metric_id(s) | Returns the chosen metric(s) for the project. The full list of available metrics can be retrieved from the projects/:project_id endpoint (see above). The metric_id(s) have to be selected from the metric_ids parameter.

Use the API in Google Sheets (no code)
Step by step guide for retrieving data from the API into your Google Sheets in under 5min.
Step 1: Create a new Google spreadsheet
Open a new spreadsheet at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets
Step 2: Add extension (API Connector)
Click on Extensions > Add-ons > Get add-ons:
Step 3: Download "API Connector" from the Google Workspace Marketplace
We recommend using a popular extension, such as API Connector by Mixed Analytics.
Once downloaded, you will find the new add-on under the "Extensions" tab.
Step 4: Open the API Connector extension and fill in the required fields
See steps 1-4 in the picture below.
- Paste the full API query here. Please note that you can fetch the full query by copying it (See “Request URL” below the API modal)
- Type in “Authorization” in the first box (Key), and type in “Bearer [insert your API key here]” in the second box (Value)
- Click on “Set current” to choose Sheet 1, or type in another sheet number
- Save the query if you want to save this query (reuse it later). Then click “Run”. Results will appear in the sheet. Enjoy!
Note The integration to Google Sheets can also be done programatically (by using Google Apps Script). This allows you to automate the process of retrieving and updating the data.
