Summary of man-c/pycoingecko

The man-c/pycoingecko GitHub repository hosts a Python client for the CoinGecko API. CoinGecko is a cryptocurrency data platform that offers real-time and historical data on more than 4000 cryptocurrencies.

This Python client lets developers leverage CoinGecko's comprehensive crypto data in Python projects without having to manually interact with CoinGecko's REST API. It offers various methods to fetch data about coins, exchanges, markets, contract, and more.

For example, you can use the get_coins_list() function to retrieve a list of all coins, or the get_price() function to retrieve the current price of specified coins in the given currency.

A key feature of the client is its simplicity and ease of use. After installing the package via pip, developers can import the CoinGeckoAPI class and use its methods to get the necessary data.

from pycoingecko import CoinGeckoAPI
cg = CoinGeckoAPI()

btc_price = cg.get_price(ids='bitcoin', vs_currencies='usd')
print(btc_price)
# Output: {'bitcoin': {'usd': <current_usd_price>}}

The repository also includes examples and tests to help developers understand how to work with the client. Despite being unofficial, the client is popular and regularly maintained. The repository has a good number of stars on GitHub, implying its utility for cryptocurrency-related Python projects.
