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
• Click on “Add Key” and a new API Key will be created

3. Making API request

• Root URL for PRO Api: https://pro-api.coingecko.com/api/v3
  You will be using the newly created API Key as query parameter (please refer to 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
