Fungible Token Price Data, Now Embedded in Metadata Responses 🧠💸

Arsenii

Until now, token prices in Insight were only available through dedicated /price endpoints — useful, but disconnected from the broader token experience.

Starting today, latest price data is embedded directly into all routes that can return fungible token metadata — including /v1/tokens/balances & v1/tokens/transfers with metadata flag set to true . That means you’ll now see up-to-date pricing info (like price_usd, percent_change_24h, volume_24h_usd, and more) inline with your token balances and other metadata-rich responses.

This change makes it drastically easier to surface value and context in a single call — whether you're showing wallet assets, building dashboards, or triggering logic based on price.

💡
Heads up if you're still using /tokens/erc20 endpoints
That family of routes is being deprecated in favour of the new generalised /tokens API. As part of this transition, those older endpoints will not receive price data enrichment — so if you're relying on token value context, now's the time to switch. /tokens is faster, more complete, and future-proof.

A few more notes:

  • This works for both ERC-20 and native tokens.
  • Currently this is powered by the offchain aggregated price feeds, but we'll work expending the strategies further.
  • Some niche tokens might not have price data (yet) — but future updates will improve coverage and enable better filtering of spammy or scammy assets based on this info.

Price data just got a lot more accessible — and this is only the beginning!

Let us know what you think!
We're always looking to improve how we serve token data — if you're using this in your app, tooling, or analytics pipeline and have thoughts, feature requests, or sharp criticism: we want to hear it. Just drop us a line in Discord or open a discussion on GitHub.
