Quickstart
Get up and running with the portfolIQ API in 5 minutes.
Step 1 — Get your API key
Create a free account on the pricing page. Your API key is generated automatically — no credit card required for the Free tier.
Step 2 — List assets
curl "https://api.portfoliq.io/v1/assets?limit=5" \
-H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"
Example response:
{
"data": [
{
"coingecko_id": "bitcoin",
"ticker": "BTC",
"name": "Bitcoin",
"tier": 1,
"price_usd": 67432.50,
"market_cap_usd": 1325000000000,

}
],

"has_next": true,
"freshness_ts": "2026-05-19T00:00:00Z",

Note: The
{id}path parameter in all routes refers tocoingecko_id(e.g.,bitcoin,ethereum) — not the ticker symbol (BTC). See Asset identifiers.

Pagination
All list endpoints (/v1/assets) support offset and limit query parameters.
Parameters:
limit(default: 20, max: 100) — number of items per pageoffset(default: 0) — number of items to skip
Response fields:
total— total number of matching assetshas_next—trueif there are more items beyond the current pagelimit— the limit applied to this response
Example — fetch all Tier 1 assets:
# First page
curl "https://api.portfoliq.io/v1/assets?limit=20&offset=0&tier=1" \
-H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY"
# Second page
curl "https://api.portfoliq.io/v1/assets?limit=20&offset=20&tier=1" \
-H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY"
Example — Python loop over all assets:
offset = 0
limit = 100
all_assets = []
while True:
resp = client.assets.list_assets(limit=limit, offset=offset)
all_assets.extend(resp.data)
if not resp.meta.get("has_next"):
break
offset += limit
Step 4 — What's next?
- Full API Reference — All endpoints with schemas
- Authentication — Key management
- Rate limits & errors — Quotas and error format
- Asset identifiers — coingecko_id vs ticker
Not financial advice. Not a fatwa. Methodology disclosed.
