Quick Start on using CoinGecko Pro API

After subscribing to CoinGecko API paid plans, you can follow this guide below to start using our Pro version API:

1. API Usage Report

• Go to Developer's Dashboard
• You can check your month-to-date API usage report and the timestamp when you last used your Pro API

 

2. Create a new API Key

• Go to Developer's Dashboard
• Navigate to the API Keys tab. 
• Click on “Add New Key”, and a new API Key will be created

 

 

3. Making an API request

• Root URL for PRO Api: https://pro-api.coingecko.com/api/v3
  
  You will be using the newly created API Key as a query parameter (please refer to the request example below for better understanding)
• Request Example:
  
  curl https://pro-api.coingecko.com/api/v3/ping?x_cg_pro_api_key=YOUR_API_KEY
• You can check the list of all available endpoints here in our official documentation: https://docs.coingecko.com

Tips: 

• Remember to add &x_cg_pro_api_key= and replace YOUR_API_KEY with your own API Key.
• Here's an example of calling Bitcoin's market data with your Pro API key: https://pro-api.coingecko.com/api/v3/coins/markets?vs_currency=usd&ids=bitcoin&x_cg_pro_api_key=YOUR_API_KEY
• You can also supply your API key via a custom header named: x-cg-pro-api-key
