## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-request access to CoinGecko trending coin data without managing a CoinGecko API key or subscription. Ideal for agents that only occasionally need trending crypto data and want to pay per call in USDC rather than maintain a recurring API contract.

## Known failure modes

- CoinGecko API rate limit or downtime causes upstream failure
- Payment of 0.11 USDC not accepted, blocking the request
- Empty or stale response if CoinGecko trending data is momentarily unavailable
- Proxy server on Vercel is unreachable or returns 5xx error

## How this service works

## Output

Returns a list of currently trending cryptocurrency coins as tracked by CoinGecko, typically including coin names, symbols, market cap rank, price information, and trend scores based on user search activity on the CoinGecko platform.
