Getting started with Note API Connector

You can get started in just a few clicks:

• Web App: Access directly Note API Connector Web App.
• Chrome Extension: Install the Note API Connector Chrome Extension to use Note API Connector in Notion.

Simply authenticate your Notion account, grant the necessary permissions, and start creating API requests effortlessly.

👉 Follow the official setup guide for step-by-step instructions.

Create a Notion Database for Tracking Crypto Prices

We need to have a database where we import real-time coins prices. In this database, we need columns:

• Symbol as text
• Name as text
• Current Price as number, you can also set your preferred currency

If you are interested in other coins data, you can add 24h and 24h %.

Use the CoinGecko API

There are plenty of APIs we can use to obtain real-time crypto data. In this tutorial we will use CoinGecko, but alternatively you can CoinMarketCap, Binance, Coinbase and others.

The CoinGecko API is perfect for fetching crypto prices, as it:

• Offers a free tier with 50 requests per minute.
• Requires no API key.

Before fetching data, you'll need to identify the CoinGecko API IDs for the cryptocurrencies you want to track. Visit the CoinGecko page of your desired coin and locate its API ID.

coins/markets endpoint allows getting various coins data , including the current price. For example if you want to get usd price for Bitcoin and Ethereum, you just need to call

https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/coins/markets?vs_currency=usd&ids=bitcoin,ethereum

Integrate CoinGecko API with Notion

Return to Note API Connector and create a new request by clicking Create request. Select the page where you want to import data. In this case, select Coins.

Paste the URL

https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/coins/markets?vs_currency=usd&ids=bitcoin,ethereum

from previous step into the URL field and click the Run button.

At this stage, your Notion Crypto Portfolio Tracker is ready to display real-time crypto data. Map fields:

• symbol → Symbol
• name → Name
• current_price → Current Price
• price_change_24h → 24h
• price_change_percentage_24h → 24h %

Then, click Save & Import and data are imported in Notion database.

Track Crypto Trades

Now, you can track individual trades in the Trades database. In the previous guide, you can check how to build this database and link it to Coins database.

When you link to a coin, then you just need to add the Buy Price, Amount and Date of Purchase for your trade and the rest data is divided by using formulas and relations.

Expanding Coins Database

If you need to expand Coins Database, you just need to update your request to add/remove coins ids api parameter.

You can create custom charts and dashboards by using Notion charts to visualize your portfolio.

You can easily visualize the current value of your portfolio if you create a donut chart for each coin, where each slice represents the Current Value.

Automate Your Portfolio Updates with Scheduled Runs

With scheduled runs in the Note API Connector, you can automate portfolio updates effortlessly. Instead of manually refreshing stock and crypto prices, simply set up a schedule once, and let the system handle the rest. This ensures that your Notion Investment Tracker stays accurate with live financial data, allowing you to focus on making informed investment decisions.

Expand Your Crypto Tracker

Take your Notion Crypto Portfolio Tracker to the next level by leveraging the CoinGecko API for advanced insights. Dive deeper into crypto trends with historical data, discover trending altcoins, and track metrics like volume and market supply for a comprehensive overview.

• Historical Data: Use the /coins/{id}/market_chart endpoint to fetch historical prices. More info here .
• Trending Coins: Leverage the /search/trending endpoint to track trending cryptocurrencies. More info here .
• Altcoin-Specific Metrics: Add properties like Volume or Supply to gain deeper insights into altcoins.
