Overview
pycgapi is an unofficial Python wrapper for the CoinGecko API (V3). It's designed to process API endpoint
responses into easy-to-use pandas DataFrames wherever possible. From simple price checks to complex historical data
analysis, pycgapi facilitates seamless integration with the CoinGecko API. For more information on the
official CoinGecko API, please refer to the official documentation.
Features
pycgapi provides a user-friendly and efficient way to interact with
the CoinGecko API. It simplifies the process of retrieving cryptocurrency data, offering the following features:

Simplified Endpoints: Access to CoinGecko's extensive cryptocurrency data through easy-to-use Python methods.
Comprehensive Data Access: Fetch latest prices, market caps, trading volumes, historical data, and more for over
thousands of cryptocurrencies.
Enhanced Functionality for Pro Users: Special endpoints for Pro API users, including faster data updates and
access to exclusive data sets.
Multi-Category Support: Access to various categories, including coins, exchanges, derivatives,
decentralized finance (DeFi), and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Historical Data Retrieval: Obtain historical market data with customizable granularity, providing valuable
insights into cryptocurrency trends and movements.
Global Cryptocurrency Statistics: Overview of global cryptocurrency statistics, including market caps, trading
volumes, and dominance percentages.
Rate Limit Management: Handles API rate limits efficiently, ensuring seamless data retrieval without hitting
rate limits.
Error Handling and Reporting: Comprehensive error handling to report and manage API request issues effectively.
Real-time Data Updates: Offers real-time updates on cryptocurrency prices and market changes, crucial for timely
analysis and decision-making.
Easy Integration: Designed for easy integration into financial analysis tools, trading bots, and cryptocurrency
applications.

pycgapi is ideal for cryptocurrency enthusiasts, financial analysts, data scientists, and developers seeking a
robust and comprehensive solution for accessing CoinGecko's extensive cryptocurrency data.
Installation
To install pycgapi, simply run:
pip install pycgapi

Or, clone from GitHub and install:
git clone https://github.com/nathanramoscfa/pycgapi.git
cd pycgapi
python setup.py install

API Key
You do not need an API key to use the Public API. You will need an API key to use the Pro API. To obtain an API key,
please visit the CoinGecko API page and follow the instructions. This package comes
bundled with keyring to save and retrieve your API key securely
without having to hardcode it. To save your API key, simply run the following code in a Python console or Jupyter
Notebook:
import keyring
keyring.set_password('coingecko', 'api_key', 'MY_API_KEY') # replace MY_API_KEY with your API key
print(keyring.get_password('coingecko', 'api_key'))

Output:
'MY_API_KEY'

CoinGecko API Plans and Rate Limits
CoinGecko offers various API plans tailored to different user needs. Below

Quick Start
To initialize the pycgapi client, simply run the following code based on your API plan:
Demo (Beta) API:
from pycgapi import CoinGeckoAPI
api = CoinGeckoAPI() # no API key required for public API

Paid Plan API:
import keyring
from pycgapi import CoinGeckoAPI
api_key = keyring.get_password('coingecko', 'api_key') # gets your API key
api = CoinGeckoAPI(api_key, pro_api=True) # must provide api_key and set pro_api=True

Ping the CoinGecko API server:
api.status_check()

Output:
API Server Status: {'gecko_says': '(V3) To the Moon!'}

The output above confirms a successful connection to the CoinGecko API server.
Usage Examples
For detailed examples of all endpoints, see the
examples directory. Here are a few examples of pycgapi:

Running on Docker
You can run pycgapi inside a Docker container. Below are the steps to build and run the Docker image:


Build the Docker Image:
First, navigate to the root directory of the project in the command prompt and build the Docker image using the
following command:
docker build --no-cache -t pycgapi .



Running the Docker Container:
Once the Docker image is built, you can run the Docker container using the following command:
docker run -it pycgapi



Testing
To run the test suite with coverage analysis, navigate to the root directory of the project and use the following command:
coverage run -m unittest discover -s tests

This command uses coverage to run all tests in the tests directory and collect coverage data as specified in the
.coveragerc file. After running the tests, you can generate a report to see the coverage percentage with:
coverage report

Or, to generate an HTML report showing line-by-line coverage:
coverage html

This will create a new directory named htmlcov. Open the index.html file in this directory with a web browser to view
the detailed coverage report.
Roadmap

Add asynchronous functionality to improve performance.
