Tickers

View as Markdown

The {ticker} parameter is a crucial part of many BlockBee API requests. It's a unique identifier that specifies the cryptocurrency or token you want to interact with.

Structure

A ticker is typically a short code that represents a specific cryptocurrency or a token on a particular network.

  • For cryptocurrencies: The ticker is usually the standard abbreviation, like btc for Bitcoin or eth for Ethereum.
  • For tokens: The ticker is composed of the network/blockchain followed by the token's symbol, separated by a slash. For example, trc20/usdt represents USDT on the TRC-20 (Tron) network.

Examples

Here are a few examples of how tickers are used in an API path:
