## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, lightweight cryptocurrency price lookups (price, 24h change, market cap) by CoinGecko coin ID and don't need deep historical data, order books, or exchange-specific pricing. Ideal for portfolio snapshots, daily briefings, or simple price checks at $0.003 per call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized CoinGecko coin ID returns an error or empty result
- CoinGecko free API rate limits may cause transient failures under heavy load
- Stale or delayed data if CoinGecko upstream is slow
- Coin IDs must match CoinGecko's naming convention (e.g. 'bitcoin' not 'BTC')
