Crypto DAOs need both market data and on-chain insights to make informed decisions. However, most APIs focus on either price feeds or pure on-chain events. DropsTab API bridges this gap by offering a unified source of crypto data – combining real-time prices, charts, and unique tokenomics in one API. For example, it provides endpoints for traditional market data (via /coins and /coins/history/...) alongside endpoints for token-specific events (like vesting and funding).

Market Data and Charts

The API’s coins endpoints allow DAOs to fetch current and historical price data. You can get a coin’s latest market stats or full price history by calling /api/v1/coins and /coins/history/chart-by-timeframe/{slug}.

For instance, a DAO dashboard can retrieve hourly OHLCV data for Bitcoin (“slug=bitcoin”) over a date range and plot it. This data is pre-aggregated, so you don’t need to scrape exchanges yourself. DropsTab even documents sample calls (curl/Python) to build these charts easily.\

Example: Calling /coins/history/chart-by-interval/bitcoin?interval=hour&from=2025-06-01T00:00:00&to=2025-06-20T00:00:00 returns Bitcoin’s hourly price in June, ready for charting.

Tokenomics Insights (Unlocks & Vesting)

Beyond price charts, DropsTab exposes tokenomics endpoints. The /tokenUnlocks routes deliver vesting schedules for project tokens.

• /api/v1/tokenUnlocks: gives an overview of all tracked tokens’ unlock data (how many coins are locked/unlocked, upcoming and past releases).

• /api/v1/tokenUnlocks/{coinSlug}: returns a detailed vesting timeline for one token – each cliff date and amount.

• /api/v1/tokenUnlocks/chart/{coinSlug}: provides time-series data (cumulative unlocked supply) for graphing vesting curves.

This is powerful for DAOs with vested tokens. For example, a DAO treasury might call /tokenUnlocks/{tokenSlug} and then chart the “unlockSchedule” array to anticipate supply changes. (Placeholder for visual: [insert token unlock schedule chart]) On the backend, DropsTab compiles vesting data from team announcements and whitepapers, so you don’t have to manually track each release. This solves a common pain point in token governance: knowing exactly when large token inflations will occur.

Funding Rounds and Investors

DropsTab also tracks project funding and investor data. The /fundingRounds endpoints list all known crypto fundraising events. Each entry includes date, amount, round type, and participating VCs. For example, you can query all recent funding rounds involving a specific project or investor. There’s also an /investors endpoint profiling top VCs (total investments, ROI, etc.). This allows DAOs to see who’s backing projects of interest. (Placeholder: [insert funding rounds infographic]) The data comes from public announcements (press releases, news) and is continuously updated.

Integration and Workflow

Integrating the DropsTab API is straightforward. All endpoints are HTTP GET and require only a header with your API key. For example, in Python:

import requests

headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY"}

res = requests.get("https://public-api.dropstab.com/api/v1/coins/history/chart-by-timeframe/ethereum", headers=headers)

data = res.json()  # Ethereum's price history

Similarly, fetching unlocks:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \

"https://public-api.dropstab.com/api/v1/tokenUnlocks/BLOCK"

returns a JSON with the token “BLOCK”’s vesting schedule and locked vs unlocked supply. Each endpoint supports query parameters for filtering and pagination, so you can narrow down by coin, date, or sort order. The JSON schemas are documented on DropsTab’s API docs, and sample snippets (shell, Python, etc.) are provided to help developers.

Use Cases and DAO Utility

With DropsTab, a DAO can unify disparate data into one dashboard or tool. For example, you might build a treasury analytics panel that shows a token’s live price chart, its upcoming unlock dates, and latest funding news side-by-side. The blog notes several use cases: portfolio dashboards alerting on big unlock events, bots reacting to listing news, and research tools profiling projects’ funding history. Indeed, the API serves as a “one-stop” for combining on-chain and off-chain signals. This means your DAO can make data-driven decisions (e.g. when to sell or hold a token) without juggling multiple data sources.

By using DropsTab’s integrated endpoints, DAOs and builders save time on data collection and gain richer analytics. The API brings together CoinGecko-like pricing data and Nansen-like tokenomics under one roof.
