## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a point-in-time historical price, market cap, or volume snapshot for a specific cryptocurrency on a specific date. Prefer this over real-time price endpoints when the user asks about past prices, historical performance, or wants to know what a coin was worth on a particular day.

- Date formatted incorrectly (not DD-MM-YYYY) causes a bad request error
- Date too far in the past or future may return no data
