Metadata

Assets

GET https://api.glassnode.com/v1/metadata/assets

Lists all assets and relevant metadata.

The base request returns the complete list of all known assets. With the query parameter, filter, the data can also be queried via Common Expression Language (CEL). See Assets Metadata Usage for usage examples and cel.dev for more details.

Assets Metadata Usage

Examples

Filter asset by id

GET https://api.glassnode.com/v1/metadata/assets?filter=asset.id=='USDT'

Filter asset with CoinGecko id

GET https://api.glassnode.com/v1/metadata/assets?filter=asset.external_ids.coingecko=='tether'

Filter assets listed on ETH blockchain

GET https://api.glassnode.com/v1/metadata/assets?filter=asset.blockchains.exists(b,b.blockchain=='ETH')

Find all supported assets

GET https://api.glassnode.com/v1/metadata/assets?filter=asset.blockchains.exists(b,b.on_chain_support==true)

Metrics

GET https://api.glassnode.com/v1/metadata/metrics

Lists all available metric paths. This should be used as the base list which can then be used to retrieve metadata from the detail view Metric Metadata.

Note: the paths only include the metric portion of the path, and not the full path containing /v1/metrics.

[
    "/addresses/accumulation_balance",
    "/addresses/accumulation_balance_pit",
    "/addresses/accumulation_count",
    "/addresses/accumulation_count_pit",
    "/addresses/active_count",
    "/addresses/count",
    ...
]

Metric

GET https://api.glassnode.com/v1/metadata/metric

Retrieves metadata describing the available parameters and potential drill-down options for a metric.

The base request, where only path is queried, returns the union of all possible parameters and their values.

It is possible that certain parameter combinations support different values. The exact set of supported values can be queried by passing them to the metadata request.

See Metric Metadata Usage for a complete example.

Add the asset a parameter to the query with a value from the response to refine the query further. Adding additional parameters to the query will further narrow down supported parameter values.
