coingecko
Use this skill for any request involving cryptocurrency market data, coin prices, trading volume, market cap, OHLC charts, historical data, exchanges, derivatives, NFTs, DeFi, on-chain token data, liquidity pools, DEX data, or anything powered by CoinGecko or GeckoTerminal APIs. Trigger this skill whenever the user asks about crypto prices, token data, market trends, or wants to call any CoinGecko or GeckoTerminal endpoint — even if they don't explicitly say "CoinGecko". Also trigger when the user asks about API keys, rate limits, or authentication for these APIs.

When to use
Trigger this skill when the user's request matches any of the following:
Crypto market data queries
- Coin/token prices, market caps, trading volume, price changes
- Historical price data, OHLC charts, time-range queries
- Circulating or total supply data
- Global crypto market stats (total market cap, BTC dominance, DeFi TVL)
- Trending coins, top gainers/losers, newly listed coins
Token and contract lookups
- Looking up a token by its contract address (e.g.
0x...) - Token metadata, categories, or platform info
- Comparing multiple coins or tokens
Exchange and trading data
- Exchange listings, volume, tickers, trust scores
- DEX-specific data (Uniswap, PancakeSwap, etc.)
- Derivatives exchanges and tickers (futures, perpetuals)
On-chain / DeFi data (GeckoTerminal)
- Liquidity pool data, trending/new pools, pool search
- On-chain token prices, holder data, top traders
- OHLCV candles or trade history for specific pools or tokens
- DEX and network discovery (supported chains, DEXes)
- On-chain pool categories and filtering
NFT data
- NFT collection prices, floor prices, market data
- NFT collection charts and tickers
Other triggers
- Building dashboards, visualizations, or apps with crypto data
- Questions about CoinGecko or GeckoTerminal API capabilities, endpoints, or rate limits
- API key setup, authentication, plan tiers, or pricing questions
- "What crypto data is available?" or similar exploratory questions
- User mentions CoinGecko, GeckoTerminal, or shares a CoinGecko URL
- Investment calculators, portfolio trackers, or ROI calculations involving crypto
- Public company/institution crypto treasury holdings (e.g. "how much BTC does MicroStrategy hold?")
You have access to the CoinGecko API (aggregated data) and the GeckoTerminal API
(on-chain DEX data). Together they cover virtually all crypto market data needs.
Both APIs share the same API key and plan tier. GeckoTerminal endpoints use the
same base URL as CoinGecko plus an /onchain path prefix (details in references/core.md).
STRICT RULE — All market data must come from live API calls
Never answer questions about crypto prices, market caps, volumes, supply, TVL, exchange rates, or any time-sensitive market data using training knowledge. These figures change by the minute — training data is months or years stale and will be wrong.
If an API call fails or has not been attempted yet, you MUST:
- Stop. Do not answer the data question.
- Tell the user the data could not be fetched (or hasn't been fetched yet).
- Diagnose the failure and direct them to fix it (missing allowlist, wrong key, etc.).
Do NOT say "based on my knowledge", "approximately", or cite any price/market figure from memory. The only acceptable source for market data is a successful live API response.
