Usage

This library provides convenient way to use coinpaprika.com API in PHP.

Coinpaprika delivers full market data to the world of crypto: coin prices, volumes, market caps, ATHs, return rates and more.

Requirements

• PHP >= 8.0
• (optional) PHPUnit to run tests.

Install

Via Composer:

$ composer require coinpaprika/coinpaprika-api-php-client

Getting started

<?php

// This file is generated by Composer
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$client = new \Coinpaprika\Client();
$coins = $client->getCoins();

From $client object, you can access all the endpoints.

Cache usage

For deserialization process it is advised to initiate the $client with $cacheDir argument.

<?php

// This file is generated by Composer
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$client = new \Coinpaprika\Client(cacheDir: 'my/cache/directory');
$coins = $client->getTickers();

Paid API

Pass the API key as the first constructor argument (or use setApiKey() after construction). The client will automatically route requests to api-pro.coinpaprika.com.

<?php

// This file is generated by Composer
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$client = new \Coinpaprika\Client('PROVIDED_API_KEY');
$coins = $client->getCoins();

API Coverage

$client = new \Coinpaprika\Client();

Market Data

$client->getGlobalStats();                    // Global market overview
$client->getCoins();                          // List all coins
$client->getTokenMeta('btc-bitcoin');         // Coin details
$client->getTickers();                        // All tickers
$client->getTickerByCoinId('btc-bitcoin');    // Ticker for coin
$client->getHistoricalTickerByCoinId('btc-bitcoin', '2024-01-01', '24h'); // Historical

OHLCV

$client->getOHLCV('btc-bitcoin', '24h');                         // Latest OHLCV
$client->getTodayOHLCV('btc-bitcoin');                           // Today's OHLCV
$client->getHistoricalOHLCV('btc-bitcoin', '2024-01-01');        // Historical OHLCV

Exchanges

$client->getExchanges();                             // ExchangeDetail[]
$client->getExchangeById('binance');                 // ExchangeDetail
$client->getExchangeMarkets('binance');              // array (raw)

Coins

$client->getCoinTwitter('btc-bitcoin');              // array (raw)
$client->getCoinEvents('btc-bitcoin');               // array (raw)
$client->getCoinExchanges('btc-bitcoin');            // array (raw)
$client->getCoinMarkets('btc-bitcoin');              // Market[]
$client->getCoinsMappings();                         // array (raw, Pro)

Contracts

$client->getPlatforms();                                          // List platforms
$client->getContracts('eth-ethereum');                            // Contracts on Ethereum
$client->getTickerByContract('eth-ethereum', '0xdac1...');        // Ticker by contract
$client->getHistoricalByContract('eth-ethereum', '0xdac1...', ['start' => '2024-01-01']);

Other

$client->search('bitcoin');                          // Search
$client->priceConverter(['base_currency_id' => 'btc-bitcoin', 'quote_currency_id' => 'usd-us-dollars', 'amount' => 1]);
$client->getPersonById('vitalik-buterin');            // array (raw)
$client->getTags();                                   // array (raw)
$client->getTagById('blockchain-service');             // array (raw)
$client->getKeyInfo();                                // KeyInfo (requires API key)
$client->getCoinsMappings();                          // CoinMapping[] (Business+)
$client->getChangelogIds();                           // ChangelogEntry[] (paid plans)
$client->getIcos();                                   // Ico[]

Return types

Endpoints come in two flavors:

• Typed: returned as JMS-deserialized model classes under Coinpaprika\Model\*. Covers the bulk of the surface: GlobalStats, Ticker, HistoricalTicker, Coin, CoinMeta, OHLCV, Ico, Search, Market, ExchangeDetail, KeyInfo, CoinMapping, ChangelogEntry.
• Raw array: auxiliary endpoints whose shape is easier to work with as a plain decoded-JSON blob (Twitter timelines, events, tags, contracts, price converter, etc.). The Coinpaprika API reference is the source of truth for those shapes.

Examples

Check out the ./examples directory. For a quick end-to-end sanity run against the live API:

php examples/smokeTest.php                 # free API
API_KEY=xxx php examples/smokeTest.php     # Pro API

Load/latency profiling:

STRESS_ITERATIONS=100 php examples/stressTest.php              # ~10s at default 100ms delay
STRESS_ITERATIONS=500 STRESS_DELAY_MS=50 php examples/stressTest.php
API_KEY=xxx STRESS_ITERATIONS=1000 php examples/stressTest.php # Pro plans raise the rate limit
