CoinGecko Data Parser & API

CoinGecko is the largest independent cryptocurrency data aggregator, tracking prices, market cap, volume and supply for 17,000+ coins across 1,000+ exchanges, and StockAPIS extracts its market data — live prices, market cap, OHLCV history, supply figures and trending coins — through a single REST API. CoinGecko offers an official public REST API, and StockAPIS normalizes it to the same schema you use for every other source, so you query CoinGecko, exchanges and on-chain feeds the same way without maintaining separate integrations.

Platform Overview

Market Position

• The #1 independent crypto data aggregator, valued for breadth over any single exchange’s view
• Tracks 17,000+ cryptocurrencies and tokens across more than 1,000 centralized and decentralized exchanges
• Aggregated, exchange-weighted pricing makes it a reference for fair-value and market-cap data
• Official public REST API (free and paid tiers), complemented by StockAPIS’s unified normalization

Data Coverage

StockAPIS exposes the full CoinGecko data surface:

• Market data — real-time prices, market cap, market-cap rank, 24h volume and percentage changes per coin
• Supply data — circulating, total and max supply, plus all-time high (ATH) and all-time low (ATL) with dates
• Historical / OHLCV — candlestick and market-chart data over customizable timeframes for backtesting and analysis
• Exchanges & tickers — exchange listings, trading pairs, per-venue volume and liquidity
• Trending & global — trending coins, top gainers/losers, global market cap and BTC/ETH dominance
• NFT data — collection floor prices and trading volume

Quick Start

import stockapis
 
client = stockapis.Client(api_key="your-api-key")
 
# Aggregated market data for a coin
btc = client.coingecko.get_market_data(asset="bitcoin", vs_currency="usd")
print(f"Bitcoin: ${btc['current_price']:,.2f}  ·  rank #{btc['market_cap_rank']}")

const { StockAPIS } = require("stockapis");
const client = new StockAPIS({ apiKey: "your-api-key" });
 
// Market data for the top coins by market cap
const coins = await client.coingecko.getMarketData({
  ids: "bitcoin,ethereum,solana",
  vsCurrency: "usd",
  order: "market_cap_desc",
});
console.log(coins[0].current_price, coins[0].market_cap);
