## CoinPaprika crypto API quickstart — 3 steps, free, no credit card required
You can also make requests directly in our API Playground. Visit [GET Ticker by ID](/api-reference/tickers/get-ticker-for-a-specific-coin) to try it out.
In the next steps, we will make a GET request to the [Ticker](/api-reference/tickers/get-ticker-for-a-specific-coin) endpoint to get the latest price of Bitcoin (BTC). All you need is the Coin ID.
* Coin ID: `btc-bitcoin`
Simply make a GET request to the following endpoint to fetch the latest ticker data for any coin. We'll use the Bitcoin ID to populate the endpoint in the format `https://api.coinpaprika.com/v1/tickers/{coin_id}`.
```bash bash theme={"dark"}
curl -X GET "https://api.coinpaprika.com/v1/tickers/btc-bitcoin"
```
```python python theme={"dark"}
import requests
response = requests.get("https://api.coinpaprika.com/v1/tickers/btc-bitcoin")
print(response.json())
```
```javascript javascript theme={"dark"}
fetch("https://api.coinpaprika.com/v1/tickers/btc-bitcoin")
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data));
```
This will return a detailed response with the latest data for Bitcoin (BTC), which will look similar to this. In the next step, we will extract just the price of BTC in USD.
```json Response [expandable] theme={"dark"}
{

"name": "Bitcoin",
"symbol": "BTC",

"percent_change_1h": 0.37,
"percent_change_6h": 0.78,
"percent_change_12h": 0.92,

"ath_date": "2025-05-22T18:42:03Z",
"percent_from_price_ath": -4.33
}
}
}
```
The response contains rich data. You can extract the USD price by navigating to the `quotes.USD.price` field. Here is how you can modify the request to get just the price:
```bash bash theme={"dark"}
curl -s "https://api.coinpaprika.com/v1/tickers/btc-bitcoin" | jq '.quotes.USD.price'
```
```python python theme={"dark"}
import requests
response = requests.get("https://api.coinpaprika.com/v1/tickers/btc-bitcoin")
price = response.json()["quotes"]["USD"]["price"]
print(price)
```
```javascript javascript theme={"dark"}
fetch("https://api.coinpaprika.com/v1/tickers/btc-bitcoin")
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
const price = data.quotes.USD.price;
console.log(price);
});
```
And as a result, you will get the price of BTC in USD:
```json quotes.USD.price theme={"dark"}
107077.69661924685
```
Congratulations! You've successfully retrieved the latest price of Bitcoin!
