Step 1: Setup Moralis

Read the article Setting Up Moralis: Getting Started and make sure to finish all the steps. Only after that you can go ahead to complete this guide.

Step 2: Get the price of an ERC20 token

In order to get the historical price of an ERC20 token, Moralis provides you with an getTokenPrice endpoint.

Here you'll need two parameters: address and chain.

Once you have obtained the address and chain, you can copy the following code:

index.js (JavaScript)

const Moralis = require("moralis").default;
const { EvmChain } = require("@moralisweb3/common-evm-utils");

const runApp = async () => {
  await Moralis.start({
    apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
    // ...and any other configuration
  });

  const historicalPrice = [];

  const address = "0x7d1afa7b718fb893db30a3abc0cfc608aacfebb0";

  const chain = EvmChain.ETHEREUM;

  for (let toBlock = 16323500; toBlock < 16323550; toBlock += 10) {
    const response = await Moralis.EvmApi.token.getTokenPrice({
      address,
      chain,
      toBlock,
    });

    historicalPrice.push(response?.toJSON());
  }

  console.log(historicalPrice);
};

runApp();

index.ts (TypeScript)

import Moralis from "moralis";
import { EvmChain } from "@moralisweb3/common-evm-utils";

const runApp = async () => {
  await Moralis.start({
    apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
    // ...and any other configuration
  });

  const historicalPrice = [];

  const address = "0x7d1afa7b718fb893db30a3abc0cfc608aacfebb0";

  const chain = EvmChain.ETHEREUM;

  for (let toBlock = 16323500; toBlock < 16323550; toBlock += 10) {
    const response = await Moralis.EvmApi.token.getTokenPrice({
      address,
      chain,
      toBlock,
    });

    historicalPrice.push(response?.toJSON());
  }

  console.log(historicalPrice);
};

runApp();

index.py (Python)

from moralis import evm_api

api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
historicalPrice = []

for to_block in range(16323500, 16323550, 10):
  params = {
    "address": "0x2260fac5e5542a773aa44fbcfedf7c193bc2c599",
    "chain": "eth",
    "to_block": to_block
  }
  result = evm_api.token.get_token_price(
    api_key=api_key,
    params=params,
  )

  historicalPrice.append(result)

print(historicalPrice)

Step 3: Run the script

To run the script, enter the following command:

Shell (JavaScript)

node index.js

Shell (TypeScript)

ts-node index.ts

Shell (Python)

python index.py

In your terminal, you should see the following JSON response:
