# Get a Token Price History from First Block
> Understanding the full price history of a cryptocurrency token can provide invaluable insights into its market behavior, investor interest, and overall volatility.
Mobula API provides comprehensive historical price data from the first block a token was transacted on, offering a crucial tool for in-depth financial analysis and historical performance review.
### What you’ll need
1. Basic knowledge of RESTful APIs and JavaScript.
2. Optional: Preferences for specific token(s), cache settings, and stale data handling.
3. An API key from the [Dashboard](https://admin.mobula.io) (required for production; optional in development mode).
### Walkthrough
You can call Mobula API directly from your terminal using cURL or any HTTP client.
**Using cURL**:
```bash theme={null}
curl --request GET \
--url 'https://api.mobula.io/api/1/market/history?asset=base&blockchain=base'
```
**Using Axios**:
```javascript theme={null}
fetch('https://api.mobula.io/api/1/market/history?asset=base&blockchain=base').then(response => response.json())
.then(function (response) {
console.log(response);
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.log(error);
})
```
You will get a response with the following format:
```json theme={null}
{
"data": {
"price_history": [
[
1690848000000,
6.591077336435656e-7
