Example prompt: What crypto coins are trending the most right now on CoinGecko — show me the top ones with their price, 24-hour change, and market cap so I can see what retail is paying attention to.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time retail sentiment signals from CoinGecko — specifically the coins and categories gaining the most search traction in the past 24 hours. Prefer this over general market-cap rankings or OHLCV candles when the goal is to identify narrative momentum, spot early-stage retail interest, or track which themes are heating up in the market rather than established price trends.

## Known failure modes

- CoinGecko API unavailable or rate-limited — endpoint returns an error or stale data
- Render cold-start delay if the service has been idle — first request may time out or be slow
- Empty trending list during periods of low CoinGecko activity (rare)
- Network timeout from hosted Render instance under load
