Crypto APIs

Overview

This node interacts with a comprehensive Crypto APIs REST API to retrieve detailed market data and prices related to cryptocurrencies. Specifically, the "Get Asset Details By Asset Symbol" operation fetches detailed information about a cryptocurrency asset using its symbol (e.g., BTC for Bitcoin, ETH for Ethereum). This is useful for scenarios where users want to enrich their workflows with up-to-date asset metadata such as descriptions, market status, or other relevant attributes.

Practical examples include:

• Fetching detailed info about a specific crypto asset before making trading decisions.
• Enriching portfolio data with asset metadata for reporting or analytics.
• Integrating asset details into dashboards or alerts based on asset symbols.

Properties

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects containing detailed information about the requested cryptocurrency asset. Each object corresponds to the API response for the asset symbol provided. The exact structure depends on the API but typically includes fields like asset name, symbol, description, market data, and other metadata.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an active connection to the Crypto APIs REST API service.
• Needs an API authentication token configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
• Reads a local OpenAPI specification file (2024-12-12-final.json) bundled with the node to map operations and parameters.

Troubleshooting

• Operation Not Found Error: If the specified operation cannot be found in the API spec, ensure the operation name matches exactly and the node version is up to date.
• Missing Required Parameters: The assetSymbol property is required; omitting it will cause errors.
• API Authentication Errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
• Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the Crypto APIs service will result in request failures.
• Unexpected Response Structure: Changes in the external API might affect the output format; updating the node or API spec may be necessary.
