What Is API Access?
Why API Access Matters
Extend Bitcoin analytics beyond the browser
Build Custom Applications Without Data Infrastructure
Skip the complexity of running Bitcoin nodes, indexing blockchain data, and calculating on-chain metrics. Query BlockHorizon's API and focus on building features, not maintaining data pipelines.

Automate Research and Monitoring
Create automated scripts that monitor specific metrics, trigger alerts when thresholds are crossed, or generate recurring reports without manual data collection or chart screenshots.
Power Algorithmic and Quantitative Strategies
Feed real-time on-chain and market data into quantitative models, backtesting frameworks, or algorithmic trading systems that require programmatic access to Bitcoin intelligence.
How API Access Works
Step 1
Generate Your API Key
Log into your BlockHorizon Pro account, navigate to API settings, and generate a secure API key with appropriate access permissions.
Step 2
Query the Endpoints
Use the API documentation to identify the metrics you need. Make HTTP requests to retrieve historical data, real-time values, or metadata for any chart in the platform.
Step 3
Integrate Into Your Application
Parse the JSON responses and integrate BlockHorizon data into your dashboards, models, alerts, or applications. Use webhooks for real-time updates or scheduled jobs for batch processing.
When to Use API Access
Quantitative Research and Backtesting
Quant teams pull historical on-chain and market data to backtest trading strategies, validate investment theses, and build proprietary signals based on Bitcoin fundamentals.
Internal Dashboards and Business Intelligence
Investment firms and crypto-native companies integrate BlockHorizon data into internal BI tools like Tableau, Looker, or custom dashboards to monitor Bitcoin exposure alongside other portfolio metrics.
Automated Alerts and Monitoring Systems
Developers build monitoring scripts that query specific metrics every hour and send alerts via Slack, email, or SMS when long-term holder behavior, miner stress, or cycle indicators cross critical thresholds.
