API Key

How to get API access

Please note that API access is not included in the Professional Plan by default. It is available as an optional add-on that Professional Plan subscribers can purchase. If you would like to explore purchasing the API add-on or upgrading your account, please contact our Institutional team.

Once you've upgraded to receive API accessyou can generate an API key by clicking on the user icon in the top right corner of Glassnode Studio. In the dropdown, you'll find the API option.

For a detailed overview of the metrics included in your plan, please refer to our metrics catalogue and the pricing page.
