Connect Excel to CoinGecko API for Historical OHLC cryptocurrency data and chart

avatar

Get historical cryptocurrency pricing into Excel using CoinGecko API and learn to create a quick stock chart. The CoinGecko API is (currently) a free API that allows you so much cryptocurrency data from live/current cryptocurrency pricing to historical data. From top coins like Bitcoin to a very large selection of Altcoins and tokens. In this video, we will explore the APIs, find out how to get the URL required to connect to the data, then we will use Excel to connect to the API, and we will clean up the JSON so the data can be used with ease in Excel.

CoinGecko API documentation
https://www.coingecko.com/api/documentations/v3#/

Each API returns data in a different JSON format. To learn more about working with JSON in Excel check out this post

a lot of devs would use the API, but you don't need dev skills, just an Excel spreadsheet and you can create some awesome apps and reports.

Very useful, thank you very much for sharing with us your advanced knowledge in Excel. I am sure that I use Excel only at most 10% of its capacity.
