# CoinGecko Coin Metadata & Market Data by ID

> CoinGecko Coin Metadata & Market Data by ID is a paid API for AI agents from coingecko.use.x402atlas.com, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns detailed metadata and market data for a specific crypto coin by its CoinGecko ID slug, including name, symbol, market-cap rank, price, homepage, and categories.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://coingecko.use.x402atlas.com/coin
- Price: $0.005/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability coingecko-coin-metadata-market-data-by-id-e3feaf3d
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the CoinGecko metadata for 'uniswap' — I need its market-cap rank, categories, and official homepage?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need rich, structured metadata for a single known coin — including its categories, homepage, and market-cap rank — and you already know its CoinGecko ID slug. Prefer this over the price endpoint when you need more than just a spot price, and over the market-cap ranking list when you need detail on a specific coin rather than a ranked overview.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown CoinGecko ID slug returns a 4xx error
- Coin ID is misspelled or uses the coin's symbol instead of slug (e.g. 'ETH' instead of 'ethereum')
- Rate limiting or payment failure results in 402 or 429 response
- Newly listed coins may not yet have full metadata populated

## How this service works

Crypto coin metadata and market data by CoinGecko id — name, symbol, market-cap rank, price, homepage and categories for any token.

## Output

A JSON object containing the coin's canonical name, ticker symbol, market-cap rank, current price, official homepage URL, and the CoinGecko category tags associated with the token.
