🚀Getting Started

After subscribing to a CoinGecko API paid plan, you can follow this guide below to start using our Pro version API.

Reminder: Pro API is accessible by any user who is subscribed to a paid API plan, it is different from our Public API. To call Pro API with a key, you should always use this root URL: https://pro-api.coingecko.com/api/v3

1. Create a new API Key

• Once you're logged to your CoinGecko account, go to Developer's Dashboard.

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

2. 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. Request Example:

curl https://pro-api.coingecko.com/api/v3/ping?x_cg_pro_api_key=API_KEY

• You can check list of all available endpoints here in our official documentation: https://www.coingecko.com/en/api/documentation

• Exclusive endpoints for paid plan users are listed here.

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 custom header named: x-cg-pro-api-key

3. Editing or Deleting API Key

• Go to Developer's Dashboard and click “Edit” on a specific API Key

• Click “Delete Key” to delete this API key

• You can also update the “Label” and click “Confirm” to confirm your update

4. 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.
