CoinGecko server uses remote SSE transport and doesn’t require authentication for public data access.

​
Best Practices

​
Performance Optimization

  1. Use jq_filter: Always include jq_filter parameter to reduce response size and improve performance
  2. Pagination: Use page and per_page parameters for large datasets
  3. Specific Queries: Use coin IDs or symbols instead of fetching all coins when possible
  4. Cache Results: Cache frequently accessed data to reduce API calls
  1. JQ Filters: Learn basic jq syntax for efficient data extraction
    • .[] | {name, symbol, current_price} - Extract specific fields
    • .[:10] - Limit to first 10 results
    • .[] | select(.market_cap_rank <= 100) - Filter by criteria
  2. Currency Selection: Use appropriate vs_currency for your target audience
  3. Precision Settings: Use precision parameter for price display accuracy

​
Market Analysis Workflows

  1. Market Overview: Start with get_coins_markets for general market conditions
  2. Specific Analysis: Use get_id_coins for detailed single-coin research
  3. Historical Context: Add get_range_coins_market_chart for price history
  4. Trend Analysis: Use get_coins_top_gainers_losers for market movers
  5. Discovery: Use get_search_trending and get_new_coins_list for opportunities

​
DeFi Research Strategy

  1. Network Discovery: Start with get_onchain_networks to understand available chains
  2. Pool Analysis: Use get_networks_onchain_trending_pools for popular protocols
  3. Token Research: Combine get_tokens_networks_onchain_info with holder analysis
  4. Cross-Reference: Compare on-chain data with market data tools
CoinGecko API has rate limits. For high-frequency access or commercial use, consider CoinGecko’s paid API plans.
Pro Tip: Use get_search to find exact coin IDs before using other tools. Many tools require specific CoinGecko coin IDs rather than symbols.
