Glassnode Data Parser & API

Glassnode is a leading institutional on-chain analytics provider that turns raw blockchain data into market metrics, and StockAPIS extracts its on-chain indicators — active addresses, hash rate, exchange flows, MVRV, SOPR and realized cap for Bitcoin, Ethereum and 20+ chains — through a single REST API. Glassnode offers an official API, and StockAPIS normalizes it to the same schema you use for every other data source, so you query on-chain metrics, exchange prices and market news the same way without maintaining separate integrations.

Platform Overview

Market Position

• A leading institutional-grade on-chain analytics platform, used by funds, desks and researchers
• Coverage spanning Bitcoin, Ethereum and 20+ major proof-of-work and proof-of-stake chains
• Derived market indicators (MVRV, SOPR, realized cap, HODL waves) alongside raw network metrics
• Official REST API, complemented by StockAPIS’s unified normalization across all sources

Data Coverage

StockAPIS exposes the full Glassnode metric surface:

• Address metrics — active addresses, new addresses, sending/receiving addresses, balance cohorts
• Network metrics — hash rate, mining difficulty, block size, block interval, fees
• Transaction metrics — transaction count, transfer volume, mean/median transfer size, mempool
• Supply metrics — circulating supply, illiquid supply, staked ETH, supply held by long-term holders
• Exchange flows — inflow, outflow and net position change across tracked exchange wallets
• Market indicators — realized cap, MVRV ratio, SOPR, NUPL, realized price and HODL waves

Quick Start

import stockapis
 
client = stockapis.Client(api_key="your-api-key")
 
# Bitcoin active addresses (daily resolution)
metric = client.glassnode.get_metric(
    asset="BTC",
    metric="active_addresses",
    interval="24h",
)
print(f"Active addresses: {metric[-1]['v']}  ·  ts {metric[-1]['t']}")

const { StockAPIS } = require("stockapis");
const client = new StockAPIS({ apiKey: "your-api-key" });
 
// Ethereum exchange net flows (daily resolution)
const flows = await client.glassnode.getMetric({
  asset: "ETH",
  metric: "exchange_net_flow",
  interval: "24h",
});
console.log(flows[flows.length - 1]);

Use Cases

• On-chain research — track active addresses, exchange flows and supply dynamics to gauge network health
• Quant signals — feed MVRV, SOPR and NUPL into models for cycle timing and valuation overlays
• Risk & treasury — monitor exchange inflows and whale movements for liquidity and risk signals
• Market intelligence — combine on-chain metrics with price data on one schema for richer dashboards

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Glassnode have an official API? Yes — Glassnode provides an official REST API covering hundreds of on-chain and market metrics. StockAPIS wraps it in a unified schema so Glassnode data matches every other source you pull.

What data can I get from Glassnode through StockAPIS? Address, network, transaction and supply metrics plus exchange flows and derived market indicators (MVRV, SOPR, NUPL, realized cap) for Bitcoin, Ethereum and 20+ chains.

At what resolution is Glassnode data available? Most metrics are available at daily (24h) resolution, with higher-frequency (1h or 10m) resolutions for select metrics and tiers, normalized to a consistent timestamp/value schema by StockAPIS.
