Import CoinMarketCap Data to Notion
Let's create Notion database Coin Prices.
Open Note API Connector and click Create request.
Select your Notion workspace and choose the database where you want crypto data.
Name your request, e.g. Import Coin Prices.
You can check CoinMarketCap API documentation what data you want to import. Let’s select Cryptocurrency section.
I opt for /v2/cryptocurrency/quotes/latest API to get market quote for 1 or more cryptocurrencies.
You can see in quotes api documentation that it’s possible to use query parameters in various ways to get crypto market prices.
Copy the following API URL into Note API Connector URL field to get Bitcoin price in USD. You need to replace API_KEY with your api key:
https://pro-api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/cryptocurrency/quotes/latest?symbol=BTC&convert=USD&CMC_PRO_API_KEY=API_KEY
Then, you should see the API request with it’s parameters.
You just need to add one more header parameter: Accept application/json.
Then you can hit Run and you will see data in Response Field Mapping view. Let’s select data.BTC.name and map it into the existing Notion database field Name.
Then, we can select data.BTC.symbol and create a new Notion database property Symbol.
Then, the map the last field data.BTC.quote.USD.price into a new field Price.
You can hit Save & Import to populate Notion with live crypto prices.
Automate Multiple Coins Import into Notion
You can import multiple coins data. You just need to use different API parameters where you can add comma-separated cryptocurrency symbols. For example if you want pull data for Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana, you need to use URL:
https://pro-api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/cryptocurrency/quotes/latest?symbol=BTC,ETH,SOL&convert=USD&CoinMarketCap_PRO_API_KEY=API_KEY
Let’s create a new request with new URL.
When you run the request, you will see only one row with all coins data, but we need each coin in a separate row.
Let’s check the API response in Advanced Settings.
By default, CoinMarketCap returns an object instead of an array. You can fix this by using JMESPath query, to enter there:
data.* | [*]
data.*→ Extracts all values from the data object (BTC, ETH, etc.).| [*]→ Ensures the output is in array format.
After entering a JMESPath expression, you can see the coin data, with each coin displayed in a separate row. Now you can map fields based on your needs.
