Connect CoinAPI to clariBI with your API key to sync daily crypto OHLCV history for the symbol ids you type, read-only, with auto-generated dashboards next to your business data.
What is CoinAPI?
CoinAPI is a cryptocurrency market-data provider with unified REST APIs covering real-time and historical OHLCV, trades, and order-book data from 370+ exchanges under one consistent symbol scheme.
clariBI reads CoinAPI through its Market Data REST API using your own API key: daily open, high, low, close, and volume for the symbol ids you choose (for example BITSTAMP_SPOT_BTC_USD). Access is read-only, and clariBI never places a trade or changes anything in your account.
How to connect CoinAPI
- Open Data Sources in clariBI. In clariBI, go to Data Sources → Add Data Source, find CoinAPI, and paste your CoinAPI API key (free starter credits from coinapi.io). The key is Fernet-encrypted at rest.
- Type the symbol ids and history. Type the CoinAPI symbol ids to track (for example BITSTAMP_SPOT_BTC_USD), pick the period, and choose how many days of history to pull. clariBI reads prices read-only.
- Sync, then get dashboards. clariBI syncs the daily OHLCV, preprocesses it, and builds an insights dashboard. Ask "How did our crypto holdings move this quarter?" and the AI engine queries the synced prices alongside your revenue.
What you can analyze
- Daily open, high, low, close, and traded volume per symbol id
- Price trend and volatility over your chosen window
- Candlestick view with a close-price trend line
- Relative performance across the symbol ids you track
- Volume shifts around market or product events
- Cross-source: crypto price moves → treasury value → revenue
What gets synced
clariBI pulls daily OHLCV history for the symbol ids you type through the CoinAPI Market Data REST API, lands it as a preprocessed dataset, and refreshes it on your schedule. Access is read-only.
For each symbol id, clariBI syncs daily open, high, low, close, and traded volume, then builds an insights dashboard you can query, extend, or pull into reports.
clariBI only ever reads. It never places a trade or changes anything in your CoinAPI account.
Questions across your other data
Once your records are synced, the AI engine can join them to the rest of your business data. A few examples:
| Pairing | Question | How clariBI answers |
|---|---|---|
| CoinAPI × Treasury | "How did our crypto treasury value track the market this quarter?" | Planner: read daily closes from CoinAPI, multiply by your held balances, and report the treasury value over the same window. |
| CoinAPI × Revenue | "Do our crypto-paid sales rise and fall with the coin price?" | Planner: read daily closes from CoinAPI, align to your daily revenue, and report the correlation over the same window. |
