CoinGecko API wrapper

Python3 wrapper around the CoinGecko API (V3)

Installation

PyPI

pip install -U pycoingecko

or from source

git clone https://github.com/man-c/pycoingecko.git
cd pycoingecko
python3 setup.py install

Usage

For free API:

from pycoingecko import CoinGeckoAPI
cg = CoinGeckoAPI()

For users with Pro API Key:

from pycoingecko import CoinGeckoAPI
cg = pycoingecko.CoinGeckoAPI(api_key='YOUR_API_KEY')

Examples

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

For any parameter:

• Lists are supported as input for multiple-valued comma-separated parameters
  (e.g. see /simple/price usage examples).
• Booleans are supported as input for boolean type parameters; they can be str ('true', 'false'') or bool (True, False)
  (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 parameters 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}}
# OR (also booleans can be used for boolean type arguments)
>>> 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}}
