historical price/volume data for all altcoins?

[eamanj]

Hello,

I am working on a research project studying trader movements from one altcoin to another. I have been looking for historical price/volume data for all altcoins (per day). Something like coinmarketcap would be amazing, but coinmarketcap API only provides recent data. There are many other websites like quandl, cryptocoinchart.info and worldcoinindex, but they either don't go back far enough in time, don't provide an API for historical data or don't include all altcoins.

I tried to understand how coinmarketcap tooltip data is extracted from svg, but no luck there.

anybody has a good suggestion where I could get daily price/volume for all (or majority) of altcoins going back far enough in time?

thanks

Try http://alt19.com if you need Cryptsy historical trade data on a large number of altcoins in CSV format (data at 15 minute, 1 hour, and 1 day).

e.g. 1 day, BQC/BTC, Cryptsy:

If you need a tool to see trader movements from one altcoin to another:

Thanks alt19. This is great!

One question: does the data go back all the way to the first trading day on cryptsy for each altcoin? or you started collecting the data for each altcoin as soon as you learned about the new altcoin?

I realized that coins that were added after September 29, 2014 have an extra column. Not exactly sure what you mean by high low volume.
You might want to add csv header for coins after that date.
Great tool!

A service really interesting. Maybe in future they can to include more coins adding more exchanges.

Hi alt19,
I have been looking at your data. It has proved to be very useful. But I have a question: it looks like the data does not go back far enough to the first trading day. For example,
Franko coin (FRK) first trading date on cryptsy is in June 2013:
https://www.cryptsy.com/markets/view/FRK_BTC

but FRK_BTC in your data starts out on April 2014. In fact, it looks like April 2014 is the earliest date for which there is data available for any pair.
Do you have historical data that goes earlier than April 2014?

thanks

[gjhiggins]

I tried to understand how coinmarketcap tooltip data is extracted from svg, but no luck there.

Browsing with Chrome/Chromium, navigate to an altcoin page, e.g. Franko and check the developer console messages.

Might need to hit “reload”.

Cheers

Graham

Edit: added reload suggestion
