Is there a way to do this for altcoins? And how? I know coinmarketcap you can check the history and what the high, low and closing price is for each coin for many years ago but what if you want to know the price of that coin at say 8am West Coast USA time? Or say 5pm West Coast USA time? Is there a way to do that or not before it is too long ago? Now if it is recent, obviously you can check this.
CoinMarketCap is not an exchange, right? So, where does the price come from?
You will get the most precise data from the source itself. Find the exchange with the highest volume for each particular coin and check the price there for any specific date and time. Many large exchanges also offer an API that allows you to automate the process with a little bit of scripting. Here's an example:
How do I get all the prices history with binance API for a crypto using Python?Can someone who has an account post a screenshot of how it looks? Example you want to know the price of dash on January 3, 2022 at say 8am and 5pm USA West coast time.
Here is an excerpt from an example of the DASH-USDT trading pair on January 1, 2022. You can view the entire CSV on pastebin.

No. It gives you a price per minute. The timestamp is in UNIX format.
