How to request the data of only one cryptocurrency using CoinMarketCap api

Question

I know how to request data of many cryptocurrencies using CoinMarketCap API by setting start and limit params but, it is possible to request the data of only one cryptocurrency? for example bitcoin. I can do it iterating the list of the result that I obtain by making a request with start and limit params but I wouldn't like to do it for obvious performance reasons. I just don't find the endpoint to do it in coinmarketcap´s API documentation

Answer 1

If you want to get the price data:

url = 'https://pro-api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/tools/price-conversion' 

parameters = {
'Amount':'1',
'symbol':'BTC', 
'convert':'USD' } 

headers = { 
'Accepts': 'application/json', 
'X-CMC_PRO_API_KEY': CMC_KEY, 

}

Get your API key: https://pro.coinmarketcap.com/
