Overview

The ?expand= parameter allows you to include additional related data in your asset responses, primarily used to reduce API calls. To include more than one option, use a comma-separated list, such as ?expand=price,market_cap.
This behavior applies to both the /v1/assets (Get Multiple Assets) and /v1/assets/{idOrSlug} (Get Single Asset) endpoints.
When fetching a single asset, the price and market_cap data are included by default.

curl -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
