Quickstart

Before you start, visit coingecko to obtain a demo/paid API key. After that, you can start using the API by:

import coingecko

# Demo API key
client = coingecko.CoinGeckoDemoClient(api_key=<insert_your_demo_api_key>)

# Paid API key
client = coingecko.CoinGeckoProClient(api_key=<insert_your_paid_api_key>)

# Test your API key with ping
response = client.ping.get()

Documentation

For the list of endpoints and information, visit CoinGecko API Documentation

Examples

The default values and parameter namings for each endpoints follows the official documentation.

Making your first API Call, PING!

response = client.ping.get()
# -> {'gecko_says': '(V3) To the Moon!'}

Just want to get price? Simple!

# /simple/price - one coin_id/currency
response = client.simple.get_price(ids='bitcoin', vs_currencies='usd')
# -> {'bitcoin': {'usd': 40067}}

Use List from Python instead of comma separated strings!

# /simple/price - multiple coin_ids (pass in a list of strings)
response = client.simple.get_price(ids=['bitcoin', 'ethereum'], vs_currencies=['usd', 'myr'])
# -> {'bitcoin': {'usd': 40067, 'myr': 189478}, 'ethereum': {'usd': 2223.37, 'myr': 10514.34}}

Use booleans instead of string for "true"/"false"

# /simple/price - pass in booleans instead of string
response = client.simple.get_price(ids='bitcoin', vs_currencies='usd', include_24hr_vol=True)
# -> {'bitcoin': {'usd': 40067, 'usd_24h_vol': 16742608673.077057}}

For precisions, use Integer/Strings

# simple/price - precision accepts integer/string
response = client.simple.get_price(ids='bitcoin', vs_currencies='usd', precision=2)
# -> {'bitcoin': {'usd': 40066.81}}

response = client.simple.get_price(ids='bitcoin', vs_currencies='usd', precision="2")
# {'bitcoin': {'usd': 40066.81}}
