Cryptocurrency icons from Coinmarketcap

Icon assets for cryptocurrencies

Icons

As GitHub has a limit of 1000 files per folder, this repository contains only the top 100 icons from Coinmarketcap. Run the Python script to download all 9842 icons!

Python3 script

Run the icon scraper to download all cryptocurrency icons from Coinmarketcap.

Clone this project to your local project folder:

  git clone https://github.com/IKTIKN/crypto-icons.git

Run the script

  cd crypto-icons/src
  python3 icon_scraper.py

Output

This script generates an output folder with the following content:

• Folder icons with subfolders id, name and symbol
• Json file named icon_map.json

Icons

Icons are stored as .png images and located in the output/icons folder. The script saves only unique filenames: The first occurence of BTC.png will be saved, skipping all other currencies who share the same name or symbol. The id folder contains all icons listed on Coinmarketcap. While the name and symbol folders contain only the unique filenames.

Folder	Filename	Unique
id	1.png	9842
name	Bitcoin.png	9673
symbol	BTC.png	8262

NOTE: The script downloads the largest pixelsize available: 128px, 64px, 32px or 16px. So not all icons share the same size. In rare cases a currency has no icon at all, these will be skipped.

Icon map

The icon map located at output/icon_map.json contains a list with all downloaded icons. Use this in your application to map unique Coinmarketcap id's to cryptocurrency names or symbols.

[
    {
        "id": "1",
        "name": "Bitcoin",
        "symbol": "BTC"
    }
]

NOTE: The name and symbol values contain upper- and lowercase characters as provided by Coinmarketcap. If a value contains /, it will be replaced with -.
