Messari provides a free API for crypto prices, market data metrics, on-chain metrics, and qualitative information (asset profiles).
This documentation will provide the basic steps to start using messari’s python library.
To install the messari package remotely:
$> pip install git+https://github.com/messari/messari-python-api.git
To install the messari package from the source:
$> git clone https://github.com/messari/messari-python-api.git
$> cd messari-python-api
messari-python-api$> python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

For a quick demo, you can try the following:
$> python
>>> from messari.messari import Messari
>>> messari = Messari(<optional API_KEY>)
>>> assets = ['btc', 'eth']
>>> metric = 'price'
>>> start = '2020-06-01'
>>> end = '2021-01-01'
>>> timeseries_df = messari.get_metric_timeseries(asset_slugs=assets, asset_metric=metric, start=start, end=end)
>>> print(timeseries_df)
