As a practitioner in the field of cryptocurrency and finance, I'm often faced with the task of retrieving historical data for analysis. Given the rise in popularity of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, I'm curious to know if the IEX Cloud API, which is widely used for financial data retrieval, supports fetching historical Bitcoin data in Python. Specifically, I'm interested in whether there are any pre-built libraries or functions that can simplify the process of accessing and manipulating this data in a Python environment. Additionally, I'd like to understand if there are any limitations or considerations to be aware of when using IEX Cloud for cryptocurrency data retrieval.

However, it was soon evident that accessing historical data through this API required a premium subscription.

One such option was the 'Price' endpoint, which provided the functionality to fetch the most recent pricing information for a specific cryptocurrency.

Utilizing this endpoint, I was able to craft a Python script that would connect to the IEX Cloud API and retrieve the latest price of Bitcoin.
