Credit card payment (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover & JCB) is the default payment for Analyst, Lite and Pro plans.

However, we also accept USD Bank Transfer and selected crypto payment if you're committing to an Annual subscription. Please drop us an email at api@coingecko.com for payment arrangement.

You will be charged $250 for every 500,000 calls made.

1 call = 1 credit. Calling any endpoint will only count as 1 call.

Regardless of your billing cycle, your requests are counted from the first day of the month to the last.

If you start your subscription sometime after the first day of the month, you'll still receive your full quota of requests for that partial month. Then on the first day of the following month, your request will reset again.

All payments must be made in advance prior to the commencement/start date of your usage plan and each recurring billing cycle thereafter) and are non-refundable (whether in whole or in part).

The Analyst plan is well suited for those who are looking for personal use that requires a higher rate limit and exclusive access to more features.

Meanwhile, the Lite or Pro plan will be a better option to support small to medium size projects.

For large-scale enterprise or startups with large usage volume and would require a customisation plan to fit their business needs, the Enterprise plan will be the right fit.

For Pro and Enterprise plans, we are able to provide up to two weeks trial (on a case by case basis) for users who are interested in making the switch. Should you find the plan to be sufficient to meet your needs, drop us an email at api@coingecko.com, and we will be in touch with you shortly. Do note that we do not support overage billing for trial plans.

For users who subscribe month to month subscription plans, it would expire at the end of each calendar month which begins on your date of activation. As for annual subscription, the subscription plan would expire within 365 days of purchase. Do note that auto renewal is turned on by default to ensure uninterrupted services for our users.

We do not offer such feature to roll over unused requests to the following month for the time being. When your subscription renews, the requests are being reset.

Your API Key would only reveal once you have generated the API key in the Developers Dashboard. Do note that if the API key is compromised, you will need to delete this key and generate a new API key.

You can supply your Pro API key in one of two ways:
1. Header: x-cg-pro-api-key
2. Query string parameter: x_cg_pro_api_key

Note: Pro API key is currently only available for CoinGecko API paid plan subscribers, all API key request should target this domain https://pro-api.coingecko.com. You are recommended to store the API key securely in your own backend and use a proxy to insert the key into the request URL.

This depends - but endpoints are all cached to around 1 to 5 minutes and you can expect most data to be updated at similar intervals unless otherwise specified. Pro API (paid plans) generally have faster update frequency, i.e. 30 sec for simple/price endpoint.

This also means that as a user, you should try to throttle your response to ensure that you are not wasting bandwidth by making calls too frequently.

You can access up to 9+ years worth of historical data using our API, starting from 2014.

This is subject to availability, as certain cryptocurrencies may not have full range of data points if the exchange is not supported at time of trading commencement.

For historical data, granularity is automatically determined and cannot be adjusted with the following rules :
• 1 day from query time = 5 minute interval data
• 1 - 90 days from query time = hourly data
• above 90 days from query time = daily data (00:00 UTC)

You would have to identify the ID for the chain you are looking for using the asset platform endpoint. Once you have identified the ID, replace the correct ID in this link https://tokens.coingecko.com/<ID>/all.json

In this case, it would be https://tokens.coingecko.com/arbitrum-one/all.json

Due to a large number of incoming queries, please note that our support team will reach out to you within 48 hours.

Yes! Just head over to the developer’s dashboard and click on the Call Consumption Alerts tab to enable it. Note that users will receive an email once the threshold value of 50% and 90% is hit respectively.

It is your responsibility to review and monitor the plan's usage limitation by keeping track of your monthly quota usage to prevent overages. You can do this by tracking the number of API calls via the Developer Dashboard for up-to-date usage statistics.

Once you have reached 100% monthly calls consumption, we will be adding more requests to your account. You will be billed overages as an additional charge and added to the following month's invoice.

Feel free to reach out to our team to discuss the options available in upgrading to a higher tier plan to accommodate your increasing usage.

Yes. Overage billing is enabled by default. However, users with a paid subscription plan have the option to disable overage billing through the developer dashboard.

We do not have this endpoint at the moment, however we are looking into implementing this in our roadmap.

The server responds to a user’s request by issuing status codes when the request is made to the server. Kindly refer to the table below to further understand the status codes when indicating the success or failure of an API call.
