Where can I get a time series of (date, bitcoin price in USD)? BitcoinCharts no longer provide historic data, only the last 20,000 samples.

EDIT: These links appear to no longer work
You can get it at Bitcoincharts:
http://bitcoincharts.com/t/trades.csv?symbol=SYMBOL[&start=UNIXTIME][&end=UNIXTIME]
It returns a CSV file with the format:unixtime,price,amount.
For example, you can use this link to get the MtGox prices since August:
http://bitcoincharts.com/t/trades.csv?symbol=mtgoxUSD&start=1312174800
Well, this turned out absolutely meaningless. Here is the ugly conversation script if anyone's interested: https://gist.github.com/1251429

You can download the whole historical data (every single trade) from the various exchanges as a single .csv file here:

You didn't state what format you are looking for. Investing.com has a decent tool for this. I've used it for calculating long term gains/losses.
https://www.investing.com/currencies/btc-usd-historical-data
EDIT: Your updated question asked for JSON. I would use blockchain.info
https://api.blockchain.info/charts/market-price?format=json×pan=all
Other timespan options:
×pan=30days
×pan=60days
×pan=180days
×pan=1year
×pan=2years
Thank you for your answer. Just updated it with the format. – Kare – 2017-04-23T20:21:07.927

You might want to try http://www.cryptodatasets.com/ It has free raw(every trade by trade) data and sampled data from Bitfinex and HitBtc (non from MtGox since its not operating anymore).
P.S. it's my website
1nice site, why not compress the csv with gzip? – xgdgsc – 2018-01-27T13:15:24.803

Bitcoincharts recently retricted the download for latest 20000 trades, it basically represents only two days of tick data.
Guys, if you have downloaded it before the restriction, would you mind sharing those past tick data? It would help me a lot. Thanks!
Update:
As promised, I'm sharing the way how I downloaded all historical trade-by-trade data from MtGox. Firstly, register at BigQuerry cloud database, at this time only download of 16k rows of data is enabled. Secondly go to bitbucket.org/nitrous/bq and download the software which automatize the data download. The whole database took approx one hour to download. Everything is free, no charges. Enjoy!
1Just realised I post a question as an answer - sorry! – Steef Gregor – 2013-07-16T08:30:51.643
1See Meni's comment above. I have unaccepted the accepted answer, because it's, as you say, no longer correct. I personally don't have historic price data, but perhaps you can post on bitcointalk.org and ask there. (please post here if you find it!) – ripper234 – 2013-07-16T08:40:43.483
1Meni has only end-of-day data which is not sufficient. However, I will do as you suggested and ask on bitcointalk. If I find any, surely I will post it here for others! – Steef Gregor – 2013-07-16T09:06:37.083

This explains how to get a dump of past Mt Gox data and the Mt Gox API allows current data. Hope this helps!

Yes, there are websites to do that.
coinmarketcap.com (Most used)
bitinfocharts.com (Most advanced)
