GraphQL AccessALPHA

Access Ethereum Price through GraphQL to combine it with other API calls in a single request. Query only the ethereum price data you need with precise field selection, and orchestrate complex data fetching workflows.

Test Ethereum Price in the GraphQL Explorer to confirm availability and experiment with queries.

Credit Cost: Each API called in your GraphQL query consumes its standard credit cost.

GraphQL Endpoint
POST https://api.apiverve.com/v1/graphql
GraphQL Query Example
query {
  ethereum(
    input: {
      currency: "USD"
    }
  ) {
    currency
    price
    marketCap
    volume24h
    change24h
    lastUpdated
    high24h
    low24h
    changeDirection
    formatted {
      price
      marketCap
      volume
      priceWords
    }
  }
}

Note: Authentication is handled via the x-api-key header in your GraphQL request, not as a query parameter.

CORS Support

The Ethereum Price API accepts cross-origin requests from any origin, so it can be called directly from browser-based applications without a proxy. See CORS support →

Rate Limiting

Ethereum Price requests are throttled per minute on the Free plan and unthrottled on paid plans. Exceeding the limit returns 429 Too Many Requests; rate-limit usage is reported in the X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset response headers. See per-plan limits and best practices →

Error Codes

The Ethereum Price API uses standard HTTP status codes — 200 on success, 400 for invalid parameters, 401 for missing or invalid keys, 403 for insufficient credits, 429 for rate-limit exhaustion, and 500/503 for server-side issues. Each error response includes an X-Request-ID header you can quote when contacting support. See full error handling guide →

SDKs for Ethereum Price

Official Ethereum Price packages on npm, PyPI, NuGet, and JitPack — plus a Postman collection and an OpenAPI spec. See the SDK guide →

No-Code Integrations

Ethereum Price works with Zapier, Make, Pipedream, n8n, and Power Automate using the same API key. See setup guides →

How many credits does Ethereum Price cost?

Each successful Ethereum Price API call consumes credits based on plan tier. Check the pricing section above for the exact credit cost. Failed requests and errors don't consume credits, so you only pay for successful ethereum price lookups.

Can I use Ethereum Price in production?

The free plan is for testing and development only. For production use of Ethereum Price, upgrade to a paid plan (Starter, Pro, or Mega) which includes commercial use rights, no attribution requirements, and guaranteed uptime SLAs. All paid plans are production-ready.

Can I use Ethereum Price from a browser?
Yes! The Ethereum Price API supports CORS with wildcard configuration, so you can call it directly from browser-based JavaScript without needing a proxy server. See the CORS section above for details.
What happens if I exceed my Ethereum Price credit limit?

When you reach your monthly credit limit, Ethereum Price API requests will return an error until you upgrade your plan or wait for the next billing cycle. You'll receive notifications at 80% and 95% usage to give you time to upgrade if needed.
