## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time, authoritative cryptocurrency price and market data sourced from CoinMarketCap specifically — preferred over generic crypto price APIs when CoinMarketCap's rankings, volume figures, or market cap methodology is important. Good for trading dashboards, portfolio trackers, and price alert systems. Pay-per-request model via USDC on Base chain suits low-volume or ad-hoc agent workflows without a monthly subscription.

## Known failure modes

- CoinMarketCap API rate limit or upstream outage causes failure
