/price - Lookup token prices

Endpoint

Method: POST URL: https://api.swapkit.dev/price

---

Request parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
tokens	array	List of token identifiers to fetch price for. Each item is an object with an identifier field (e.g., { "identifier": "ETH.ETH" }).
metadata	boolean	If true, includes extended CoinGecko metadata (currently always included, even if set to false).

Identifiers follow the format Chain.Asset, such as ETH.ETH, BTC.BTC or SOL.SOL, with the contract address added at the end when necessary, such as ARB.PENDLE-0x0c880f6761F1af8d9Aa9C466984b80DAb9a8c9e8. This is the same formatting used in our /quote endpoint.

Response format

The endpoint returns an array of token price objects.

[
  {
    "identifier": "ETH.ETH",
    "provider": "",
    "cg": {
      "id": "ethereum",
      "name": "Ethereum",
      "market_cap": 197138665861,
      "total_volume": 12560864823,
      "price_change_24h_usd": -39.89,
      "price_change_percentage_24h_usd": -2.38,
      "sparkline_in_7d": [...],
      "timestamp": "2025-04-15T12:30:44.643Z"
    },
    "price_usd": 1653.61,
    "timestamp": 1744720254562
  }
]

For each token, it includes the following fields:

Field	Type	Description
identifier	string	The token identifier you queried (e.g., ETH.ETH).
price_usd	number	The current price of the token in USD.
timestamp	number	Millisecond timestamp of the price fetch.
cg	object	(If metadata: true — currently always present) CoinGecko metadata.
└─ id	string	CoinGecko’s internal ID.
└─ name	string	Full name of the token.
└─ market_cap	number	Total market capitalization in USD.
└─ total_volume	number	24-hour trading volume in USD.
└─ price_change_24h_usd	number	Price change in absolute USD over the last 24 hours.
└─ price_change_percentage_24h_usd	number	Percentage price change over the last 24 hours.
└─ sparkline_in_7d	array	7-day price history (useful for drawing sparkline charts).
└─ timestamp	string	Timestamp of the CoinGecko data.

When a token's price is not found, or the token name is not correctly specified, the endpoint will return a price of 0 USD for that token. Not how ETH.HTE is not a correct identifier so the example response here fails to return a correct price:

[
  {
    "identifier": "ETH.EHT",
    "provider": "",
    "price_usd": 0,
    "timestamp": 0
  }
]
