CoinGecko API wrapper

Python3 wrapper around the CoinGecko API (V3)

Installation

PyPI

pip install pycoingecko

or from source

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

Usage

from pycoingecko import CoinGeckoAPI
cg = CoinGeckoAPI()

Examples

The required parameters for each endpoint are defined as required (mandatory) parameters for the coresponding functions. Any optional parameters can be also passed using same names, as defined in CoinGecko API doc (https://www.coingecko.com/api/docs/v3)

Besides comma-separated strings for multiple-valued arguments (see /simple/price endpoint), lists can be also used directly.

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 parameteres 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}}
