CoinGecko Pro API

Use this skill only when a Pro key is expected.

When to use

• The task needs Pro-only CoinGecko endpoints.
• The user explicitly requests Pro API behavior or Pro permission checks.

Quick start

export COINGECKO_API_KEY="..."
python3 scripts/coingecko_pro_get.py key --pretty

python3 scripts/coingecko_pro_get.py global/market_cap_chart \
  --param vs_currency=usd \
  --param days=90 \
  --pretty

Workflow

1. Always target base URL https://pro-api.coingecko.com/api/v3.
2. Send key in header x-cg-pro-api-key.
3. Validate tier first with /key.
4. If API returns code 10011, key is Demo and must switch to coingecko-demo-api skill.
5. If endpoint returns 10005, mark endpoint unavailable for current plan.
6. Keep per-endpoint permission notes in report output.
