## Responses

### `200` — Latest price observation for the asset

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `data` | `array` | Yes | The snapshot, as a one-element array: `data` is always an array (`docs/api_standards.md`). |
| `data[].circulating_supply` | `string` | Yes | Circulating supply (decimal string). |
| `data[].created_at` | `string` | Yes | When this point entered the series (ISO 8601). |
| `data[].fully_diluted_market_cap` | `string` | Yes | Fully diluted market capitalisation in USD (decimal string). |
| `data[].last_updated` | `string` | Yes | CoinMarketCap's own last-touched time for the asset (ISO 8601). This is an entry-level stamp, not the quote's; read `created_at` for when we recorded the row. |
| `data[].market_cap` | `string` | Yes | Market capitalisation in USD (decimal string). |
| `data[].market_cap_dominance` | `string` | Yes | Share of total crypto market capitalisation, percent (decimal string). |
| `data[].max_supply` | `string` | Yes | Maximum supply (decimal string). |
| `data[].name` | `string` | Yes | Asset name, e.g. `Bittensor`. |
| `data[].percent_change_1h` | `string` | Yes | 1-hour price change, percent (decimal string). |
| `data[].percent_change_24h` | `string` | Yes | 24-hour price change, percent (decimal string). |
| `data[].percent_change_30d` | `string` | Yes | 30-day price change, percent (decimal string). |
| `data[].percent_change_60d` | `string` | Yes | 60-day price change, percent (decimal string). |
| `data[].percent_change_7d` | `string` | Yes | 7-day price change, percent (decimal string). |
| `data[].percent_change_90d` | `string` | Yes | 90-day price change, percent (decimal string). |
| `data[].price` | `string` | Yes | Price in USD (decimal string). |
| `data[].slug` | `string` | Yes | Asset slug, e.g. `bittensor`. |
| `data[].symbol` | `string` | Yes | Asset symbol, e.g. `TAO`. |
| `data[].total_supply` | `string` | Yes | Total supply (decimal string). |
| `data[].updated_at` | `string` | Yes | Row write time (ISO 8601). Equal to `created_at` for every row. |
| `data[].volume_24h` | `string` | Yes | 24-hour trading volume in USD (decimal string). |
| `pagination` | `object` | Yes | Pagination block. One item on one page, or zero items for an asset the series does not carry. |
| `pagination.current_page` | `integer (int32)` | Yes | 1-indexed page that produced the rows in `data`. |
| `pagination.next_page` | `integer (int32), nullable` | Yes | Next page number, or `null` if this is the last page. |
| `pagination.per_page` | `integer (int32)` | Yes | Number of items requested per page. |
| `pagination.prev_page` | `integer (int32), nullable` | Yes | Previous page number, or `null` if this is the first page. |
| `pagination.total_items` | `integer (int64)` | Yes | Number of items matching the query across all pages. This is the exact count — every matching row, however many there are. It is not bounded by `total_pages`, so a listing can legitimately report far more items than `total_pages × per_page`. |
| `pagination.total_pages` | `integer (int32)` | Yes | Number of pages at the current `per_page` that this API will serve: `ceil(total_items / per_page)`, capped at `ceil(1000000 / per_page)` because the `page` parameter only reaches into the first 1,000,000 rows. When the cap bites, `total_items` is still the true total and this is the last page a request can ask for; reach deeper history with the endpoint's range filters instead of a larger `page`. |

### `400` — Invalid query parameter

| Field | Type | Required | Description |

| `message` | `string` | Yes | Plain-english message describing the failure from the caller's perspective. |
| `status_code` | `integer (int32)` | Yes | HTTP status code (mirrored in the response status line for convenience). |

### `500` — Internal server error
