My tables has been limited to 100 lines since yesterday. Yesterday it was more than 1200. Did Coinmarketcap changed its API ?

You are right, i had that this morning. Coinmarketcap sees a lot of traffic nowadays so they made it at default 100 coins.

But if you change the api to this:
Code:
https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/?limit=0
You are good to go

Thanks, it worked !

any chance to do the same in Google Sheets?
Heard, they have request limitations - is there any way to do that?

The API has a limit of 10 times per minute, don't think you are going to refresh the sheet more than 10 times or are you. In regards to google spreadsheet i will look onto it and will update OP if i find it.

Thank you, I was looking for something like that. Can you also do this for the top 100 coins only?

Thanks for the reply, please change the api URL in:
Code:
https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/?limit=100

You can change the ticker limit how you want it, for example top 10 coins =
Code:
https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/?limit=10

Hi all,

Searched the forum but couldn't find a tutorial how to add coinmarketcap in excel, so here i go.

What you need
MS Excel 2007/2013
MS Power Query https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39379

Set up excel
When you finished setting up power query in excel you should see this icon:


If the new tab is in excel we can start with setting up the coinmarket API in excel:

Start with going to the new power query tab and click on from web


In the next screen copy and paste this link:
Code:
https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/?limit=0

you'll get something like this and press ok:


After pressing ok, you'll get the following screen:


Now that the API has loaded in press the button "to table"


now press "ok" and than press the left filter button as shown here:



After you press ok you can change colum name like you prefer, or even delete colums you don't need


After you done renaming colums press "Close & Load' and you are good to go:


TIP
If you want your data to refresh every X minute set the mouse on a cel -> go to Design and press connection properties


Now you can change how fast/slow you want the coinmarketcap data to be refresh as seen below:
