CoinMarketCap API / Price conversion

CoinMarketCap tool coinmarketcap-tools-price-conversion on looot: input fields, $0.000193 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

Converts an amount of one cryptocurrency or fiat into one or more other currencies using the latest rate. 1 credit per call, multiplied by number of convert currencies beyond the first.

Tool id: coinmarketcap-tools-price-conversion
Provider: CoinMarketCap
Job: Price conversion tools (tools.price-conversion)
Price: $0.000193 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

Inputs

Name	Type	Required	Description
`amount`	number	yes
`convert`	string	no
`convert_id`	string	no
`id`	string	no	Source currency CMC ID.
`symbol`	string	no	Source currency symbol.
`time`	string	no	Historical timestamp/date (requires a paid plan for lookback).

Output

Shape of the run’s result, checked against 10 real answers:

{ data: { id, name, quote: { USD: { ... } }, amount, symbol, last_updated }, status: { notice, elapsed, timestamp, error_code, credit_count, error_message } }

Every call needs your API token in LOOOT_TOKEN; Sign in shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With wait: 30 the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll GET /v1/runs/<runId>.

Example input with placeholder values:

curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"coinmarketcap-tools-price-conversion","input":{"amount":1},"wait":30}'

const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LOOOT_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "coinmarketcap-tools-price-conversion",
    input: {
      amount: 1,
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);

print(run["status"], run.get("result"))

To let looot pick among every provider of this job instead, send job:tools.price-conversion as endpointId; see the job page.
