Frequently Asked Questions

What is special about the Crypto Data API offered by CoinGecko?

While you may be able to get crypto price data directly from a free API offered by an exchange, CoinGecko price & market data is aggregated through 700+ centralized and decentralized exchanges. The data is exclusively provided by CoinGecko.

Crypto exchanges show different prices and sometimes provide very inaccurate odd prices. Crypto communities and projects love to use CoinGecko to get the most accurate and unbiased crypto price! Visit our methodologies page to learn how we calculate and evaluate metrics.
