> DefiLlama Historical Token Prices is a paid API for AI agents from defillama.use.x402atlas.com, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-12).

Returns USD price(s) for one or many tokens at a specific historical unix timestamp, identified by chain:address or coingecko:id.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability defillama-historical-token-prices-7676a5a3
```

Example prompt: What was the price of ETH (ethereum:0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2) and LINK (coingecko:chainlink) at unix timestamp 1672531200? Use a 4h search window.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need token prices at a specific point in the past, rather than current prices. Prefer it over current-price endpoints for historical PnL calculations, backtesting, or auditing DeFi positions at a given block time. Supports both on-chain contract addresses (chain:address format) and CoinGecko IDs.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized coin identifier returns empty or partial results
- Unix timestamp out of supported historical range returns no price data
- Malformed coins parameter (wrong format) results in an error response
- searchWidth too narrow with no price data in range returns empty result
- Payment not processed results in 402 response before data is returned

## How this service works

Historical token prices by DefiLlama — token price(s) at a given unix timestamp by chain:address or coingecko:id.

## Output

A JSON object mapping each requested coin identifier to its historical USD price, symbol, and decimals at or near the requested unix timestamp.
