Response fields

Property Description
status String

Allowed values:
success
data Object
data.tag Object

A tag object. Read more about what a tag is in the introduction.
data.tag.slug String

Slug identifier for the tag. This is a short url-friendly name, so for example the tag with the name "Layer-2 coins" has layer-2 as slug. These slugs can also be used as a filter in the coins endpoint (Look for the tags query parameter).

data.tag.shortname String

As the name implies, it is a shorter version of the name. It mostly omits the tokens or coins part of the name, so instead of the "Layer-2 coins" you get just "Layer-2". In contrast to the slug, these short names are not url-friendly perse and cannot be used for filtering.

data.tag.name String

Full name of the tag. It is the name we use on our categories page.
data.tag.description String

A short description in one or two sentences of what this tag is about. We use it on our category pages, see for example our DeFi coins page.

data.tag.iconUrl String

URL of the tag's icon. Every tag has it's own icon, and you can find it through this url. The images might change over time.
data.tag.hasContent Boolean

Indicates if the tag has any coins associated with it. This should be the case in almost all cases, but new categories can be made before there are any coins related to them.

data.tag.numberOfCoins Number

Number of coins associated with the tag. Should you use the filter on the coins endpoint to get the coins related to a specific tag, numberOfCoins is the amount of coins that you can expect to get back (with pagination, that is).
