  description: >-
    The Blockworks Data API is a unified, read-only REST interface to
    Blockworks' warehouse-modeled crypto dataset, powered by Messari's research
    and data infrastructure. It serves two kinds of models: tabular models,
    which return current, filterable, sortable rows for entities such as assets,
    networks, protocols, exchanges, stablecoins, and ETFs; and timeseries
    models, which return historical metric series at a chosen granularity for
    one or many entities. Every endpoint shares the same query grammar (column
    projection, per-column filters, sorting, and pagination) and returns the
    standard `{ "error": ..., "data": ... }` envelope. Authenticate by sending
    your API key in the `X-Blockworks-API-Key` header.
