Examples

The required parameters for each endpoint are defined as required (mandatory) parameters for the coresponding functions. Any optional parameters can be also passed using same names, as defined in CoinGecko API doc (https://www.coingecko.com/api/docs/v3)

Lists are also supported as input for multiple-valued comma-separated parameters (e.g. see /simple/price usage examples).

Usage examples:

# /simple/price endpoint with the required parameters
>>> cg.get_price(ids='bitcoin', vs_currencies='usd')
{'bitcoin': {'usd': 3462.04}}

>>> cg.get_price(ids='bitcoin,litecoin,ethereum', vs_currencies='usd')
# OR (lists can be used for multiple-valued arguments)
>>> cg.get_price(ids=['bitcoin', 'litecoin', 'ethereum'], vs_currencies='usd')
{'bitcoin': {'usd': 3461.27}, 'ethereum': {'usd': 106.92}, 'litecoin': {'usd': 32.72}}

>>> cg.get_price(ids='bitcoin,litecoin,ethereum', vs_currencies='usd,eur')
# OR (lists can be used for multiple-valued arguments)
>>> cg.get_price(ids=['bitcoin', 'litecoin', 'ethereum'], vs_currencies=['usd', 'eur'])
{'bitcoin': {'usd': 3459.39, 'eur': 3019.33}, 'ethereum': {'usd': 106.91, 'eur': 93.31}, 'litecoin': {'usd': 32.72, 'eur': 28.56}}

# optional parameteres can be passed as defined in the API doc (https://www.coingecko.com/api/docs/v3)
>>> cg.get_price(ids='bitcoin', vs_currencies='usd', include_market_cap='true', include_24hr_vol='true', include_24hr_change='true', include_last_updated_at='true')
{'bitcoin': {'usd': 3458.74, 'usd_market_cap': 60574330199.29028, 'usd_24h_vol': 4182664683.6247883, 'usd_24h_change': 1.2295378479069035, 'last_updated_at': 1549071865}}
