Price Endpoints

Real-time and historical asset price data

Price Endpoints

Prices. The only fact the market agrees on, and only for an instant. Four endpoints, each with a different tradeoff between freshness and speed.

Get Latest Prices (Bulk Map)

Same data as /prices, but keyed by ticker for direct lookup. Use this when you know what you are looking for.

cURL

curl "https://generalmarket.io/api/latest-prices"

{
  "BTC": 97432.15,
  "ETH": 3245.80,
  "SOL": 187.42,
  "AVAX": 38.15,
  "LINK": 19.22
}

Keys are tickers. Values are USD prices.

Get Fast Prices

Cached. Possibly a few seconds stale. Faster to serve. Use this for UI display and order previews — not for final execution pricing.

curl "https://generalmarket.io/api/fast-prices"

{
  "BTC": 97432.15,
  "ETH": 3245.80,
  "SOL": 187.42,
  "AVAX": 38.15
}

Fast prices are cached and may lag behind real-time prices by a few seconds. Use /price?asset=X when the most current price for a specific asset is needed.
