Hourly data on alt coins historically?

[lestat2k7]

Hi all,

I am writing a program where I simulate some investment ideas but I need a database with at least top 100 altcoins for a couple months to a year with hourly prices.

Anyone knows where I can find this info?


Thanks in advance.

I guess coinmarketcap.com gives you a detailed information about all of the coins in the market. Try to look the website and see if you can find it there.

Coinmarketcap have the price for all the exchange even just 1 coin.

Yes coinmarketcap has a lot of data but I need to be able to query this in my program. Only one I can parse from their site is daily prices.

Do you want to do high-frequency trading strategies? So why not just connect to the exchange's API.

No I just need past data for simulations, not real time.

It is already answered 
Coinmarketcap is only the place you can find this information. Most of the application and website takes th datas they use from coinmarketcap.

I read somewhere that CMC will soon announce API access to their DB with historical data, but it will be paid.
The other option is to make a DB with current 5 min ticks from CMC and make your own historical DB over time.

coinmarketcap.com can give you a lot of information it includes the historical graph of the coins from the start of the coin in the exchange and into the current period of time.

use Poloniex API although i think they don't have hourly price! instead they have 2 hour, half hour, daily, even 5 minute!

https://poloniex.com/public?command=returnChartData&currencyPair=BTC_XMR&start=1405699200&end=9999999999&period=14400

change currencyPair for any pair that Poloniex has. and the start and end times are obviously UNIX timestamps so change them according to your need.

I think coinmarket cap has all the info you need. The data is live there so you can check in whenever you want.

Is it possible to use tradingview? U can write on their base. They have all required info from almost all exchanges. Or u need use API of exchanges. U can also look QT trader it is open source and uses APIs of a lot of exchanges.
