CoinGecko API endpoint
Use Crawlora's CoinGecko Category Coins API to extract supported public CoinGecko data as structured JSON. This page includes request parameters, cURL examples, response schema, error behavior, credit cost, and a Playground link for testing before integration.
/coingecko/category/{slug}/coinsReturns normalized coin rows from a CoinGecko public category page. This endpoint supports the documented `vs_currency` enum. Developers commonly use this endpoint for data enrichment, monitoring, research dashboards, internal automation, and AI-agent workflows that need repeatable structured public web data. Authentication uses the documented Crawlora headers, and usage is metered with the credit cost shown on this page.
Request parameters are generated from the active endpoint catalog. Required values must be sent before Crawlora can call the upstream public web data source.

This endpoint is executed through Crawlora's managed scraping infrastructure.
- `coins` includes rank, id, symbol, name, URL, image URL, price, 1h/24h/7d/30d changes, 24h volume, market cap, FDV, and market-cap/FDV ratio when present. - Bot blocks, malformed HTML, and non-empty pages with zero parsed coin rows return a typed upstream error. Example response: ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "slug": "stablecoins", "name": "Stablecoins", "page": 1, "limit": 100, "vs_currency": "usd", "source_url": "https://www.coingecko.com/en/categories/stablecoins?page=1", "fetched_at": "2026-05-24T00:00:00Z", "coins": [ { "rank": 1, "id": "tether", "symbol": "USDT", "name": "Tether", "price": 1, "market_cap": 150000000000 } ] } } ```
Crawlora does not silently return bad data when the upstream page cannot be used.
| Status | Common failure case |
|---|---|
| 400 | Invalid input or missing required parameter |
| 429 | Plan or endpoint rate limit exceeded |
| 500 | Internal execution error |
| 502 | Upstream platform failed, returned unusable HTML, or served a challenge page that could not be resolved |
When possible, Crawlora returns structured error context so your integration can retry, back off, or inspect the request.
