CoinGecko API Skill
Query the CoinGecko API for comprehensive crypto market data — prices, historical charts, exchange volumes, trending tokens, global stats, and category breakdowns. The free tier requires no API key and supports 30 calls/min.
When to Use This Skill
- Macro analysis: Global market cap, BTC dominance, total volume trends
- Historical data: Daily/hourly OHLCV going back years (not minutes-level)
- Cross-exchange comparisons: Exchange volume rankings and trust scores
- Trending/discovery: What tokens are trending on CoinGecko in the last 24h
- Category analysis: Compare DeFi vs L1 vs meme coin market caps
- Token research: Full metadata including links, description, community stats
Use Birdeye or DexScreener instead for real-time Solana DEX data, new token launches, or sub-daily granularity on Solana tokens.

Finding CoinGecko Token IDs
CoinGecko uses slug-style IDs (e.g., solana, bitcoin, usd-coin). To find an ID from a contract address or name, see references/id_mapping.md.
Quick lookup by contract address (useful for Solana tokens):
Key Limitations
- No real-time data: Prices update every 1-2 minutes on free tier
- Limited Solana coverage: Many newer Solana tokens are not listed
- OHLC granularity: Only 1/7/14/30/90/180/365 day windows, candle size
depends on the window (see references/endpoints.md)
- Historical gaps: Some tokens have missing data for early periods
- Free tier throttling: 30 req/min means batch operations need careful pacing
See references/data_quality.md for detailed notes on data gaps and tier differences.
