CoinGecko
Query CoinGecko (crypto prices, market data, historical, exchanges, NFT floor prices) from any AI agent. 8 tools, optional API-key auth.
Setup
This connector wraps the CoinGecko REST API.
Setup:
- The PUBLIC API (api.coingecko.com/api/v3) requires NO API key but is harshly rate-limited (~10-30 calls/min) and missing some endpoints.
- For higher throughput, sign up for the free DEMO plan at https://www.coingecko.com/en/developers/dashboard → create an
x-cg-demo-api-key. This raises the limit to 30 calls/min and stays free. - Paid PRO plans use a different host (pro-api.coingecko.com) and header
x-cg-pro-api-key— switch baseUrl + auth header accordingly. - Set
COINGECKO_API_KEYif you have one; leave unset for anonymous public access.
