Prerequisites

Before getting started, make sure you have the following ready:

Node v.14+ or Python
NPM/Yarn or Pip

Step 1 : Setup Moralis

First register your Moralis account and get your Moralis API Key. Once you have your Moralis API Key, install the Moralis SDK in your project.

npm

npm install moralis @moralisweb3/common-evm-utils

yarn

yarn add moralis @moralisweb3/common-evm-utils

pnpm

pnpm add moralis @moralisweb3/common-evm-utils

pip

pip install moralis

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(response.toJSON());
};

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(response.toJSON());
};

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

Step 4 : Response
