How to import Coin metrics data to Google Sheets
Follow the steps given below to learn how to import Coin metrics data to Google Sheets.
Step 1: Choose the API endpoint
Go to this website to find the API documentation. You will find a variety of API endpoints that can be used to import Coin metrics data to Google Sheets.

For the purpose of this tutorial, we will be using the API endpoint titled Available Asset Metrics.
To access the endpoint, click Catalog→ Available Asset Metrics. This endpoint will provide you with a list of metrics along with their description, categories and assets for which the metric will be available.

The query parameters list the queries that can be used to filter the data imported and its description.

Click on the arrow beside /catalog/asset-metrics in the top right corner.

You will see two links listed in the drop-down that appears. Click and copy the second link.
Coin metrics provides its users with two endpoint URLs: a paid URL that requires a key, and a community URL which is free and doesn’t require a key. The tradeoff with using the community URL is that this version comes with a limit of 1000 requests per IP address.

Step 2: Get Amigo Data Google Sheets extension
The Amigo Data Add-on is an extension in Google Sheets that allows you to import data from various sources without coding.
You can either install the extension directly from the Google Workspace Marketplace or follow the steps below:
