Can I tailor the subscription plan to fit my needs?

-
What are my payment options?
-
Credit card payment (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover & JCB) is the default payment for Analyst, Lite and Pro plans.
For Enterprise plans, reach out to us here and our team can better brief you on the payment options such as USD bank transfer and crypto payment. -
What are the overage charges like?
- You will be charged $250 for every 500,000 calls made.
-
How does CoinGecko API count the API usage credit?
- 1 call = 1 credit. Calling any endpoint will only count as 1 call.
-
When does my request volume (monthly API credit) reset?
-
Regardless of your billing cycle, your requests are counted from the first day of the month to the last.
If you start your subscription sometime after the first day of the month, you'll still receive your full quota of requests for that partial month. Then on the first day of the following month, your request will reset again. -
What is the refund policy of CoinGecko API subscription?
- All payments must be made in advance prior to the commencement/start date of your usage plan and each recurring billing cycle thereafter) and are non-refundable (whether in whole or in part).
-
What are the differences between Demo, Basic, Analyst, Lite, Pro, Pro+ and Enterprise Plans?
-
- The Demo Plan is a free plan to try out the CoinGecko API. It’s good for testing and exploration, but comes with limited call credits and a rate limit of 100 calls/min.
- The Basic Plan is suited for personal use that requires more call credits, a higher rate limit, and more frequent data updates.
- Meanwhile, the Analyst, Lite, Pro, and Pro+ Plans are designed for serious analysis work and small to medium-sized projects. They come with a more complete suite of CoinGecko API features, including real-time data, 70+ endpoints, and a commercial license. The main differences between them are the call credits and rate limits.
- For enterprises with high usage volume that require a custom plan to meet their business needs (including custom licensing, SLAs, strategic advisory, etc.), the Enterprise plan will be the right fit.
-
I am interested in the paid plans. Is there a trial for paid plans before making a purchase?
- For Enterprise plans, we are able to provide up to two weeks trial (on a case by case basis) for users who are interested in making the switch. Please reach out to us here, and we will be in touch with you shortly. Do note that we do not support overage billing for trial plans.
-
When does my subscription expire?
- For users who subscribe month to month subscription plans, it would expire at the end of each calendar month which begins on your date of activation. As for annual subscription, the subscription plan would expire within 365 days of purchase. Do note that auto renewal is turned on by default to ensure uninterrupted services for our users.
-
Can I roll over any unused requests?
- We do not offer such feature to roll over unused requests to the following month for the time being. When your subscription renews, the requests are being reset.
-
I would like to cancel my subscription, how should I go about that?
-
If you’d like to cancel your subscription, simply head over to your Developer Dashboard and click on the “API Plan Details” in the green tab.
If you do not see such an option on your Developer Dashboard, kindly reach out to our team here to initiate the cancellation process. -

-
Where can I find my API key?
- Your API Key would only reveal once you have generated the API key in the Developers Dashboard. Do note that if the API key is compromised, you will need to delete this key and generate a new API key.
-
Where do I pass the Pro API key (any paid plans) when making a request?
-
You can supply your Pro API key in one of two ways:
1. Header: x-cg-pro-api-key
2. Query string parameter: x_cg_pro_api_key
Note: Pro API key is currently only available for CoinGecko API paid plan subscribers, all API key request should target this domain https://pro-api.coingecko.com. You are recommended to store the API key securely in your own backend and use a proxy to insert the key into the request URL. -
How often does data get refreshed or updated?
-
This depends - but endpoints are all cached to around 1 to 5 minutes and you can expect most data to be updated at similar intervals unless otherwise specified. Pro API (paid plans) generally have faster update frequency, i.e. 30 sec for simple/price endpoint.
This also means that as a user, you should try to throttle your response to ensure that you are not wasting bandwidth by making calls too frequently. -
How far back is the historical data?
-
You can access more than 10 years worth of historical data using our API, starting from 2014.
This is subject to availability, as certain cryptocurrencies may not have full range of data points if the exchange is not supported at time of trading commencement. -
What is the historical data availability or granularity?
- All plans include access to daily and hourly historical data (the number of years you can access depends on your subscription plan). For higher resolution, 5-minute granularity is available exclusively on the Enterprise plan.
-
Where can I find the token lists specific to a chain (for e.g. Arbitrum)?
-
You would have to identify the ID for the chain you are looking for using the asset platform endpoint. Once you have identified the ID, replace the correct ID in this link https://tokens.coingecko.com/<ID>/all.json
In this case, it would be https://tokens.coingecko.com/arbitrum-one/all.json
-
How quickly would the support team respond?
- Due to a large number of incoming queries, please note that our support team will reach out to you within 48 hours.
-
I have questions that are not listed here, where can I seek help?
- Please visit our help center for the full list of questions. You may also drop us a message via support.coingecko.com.
-
Is there a call consumption alert?
- Yes! Just head over to the developer dashboard and click on the Notifications tab to enable usage alerts. Note that users will receive an email once usage reaches the 80% and 100% thresholds. You may also optionally enable additional alerts at 50% and 90% credit usage.
-
I have reached 100% of my monthly calls consumption. What should I do?
-
It is your responsibility to review and monitor the plan's usage limitation by keeping track of your monthly quota usage to prevent overages. You can do this by tracking the number of API calls via the Developer Dashboard for up-to-date usage statistics.
Once you have reached 100% monthly calls consumption, we will be adding more requests to your account. You will be billed overages as an additional charge and added to the following month's invoice.
Feel free to visit the pricing page and consider upgrading to a higher tier plan to accommodate your increasing usage. -
Can I turn off overage billing?
- Yes. Overage billing is disabled by default. However, users with a paid subscription plan have the option to enable overage billing through the developer dashboard.
-
Is there an endpoint to check the number of calls used for the month/per minute?
- Yes, you may use our /key endpoint to check your monthly call credit balance and details.
-
How can I differentiate between the status codes I am receiving and what do they mean?
-
The server responds to a user’s request by issuing status codes when the request is made to the server. Kindly refer to the table below to further understand the status codes when indicating the success or failure of an API call.
Status codesDescription400 (Bad Request)This is due to an invalid request and the server could not process the user's request.401 (Unauthorised)This is due to the lack of valid authentication credentials for the requested resource by the user.429 (Too many requests)This is likely indicating that the rate limit has reached. The user should reduce the number of calls made, or consider scaling their service plan that has much higher rate limits and call credits.
To upgrade your plans, kindly refer to the “Plans” tab.500 (Internal Server Error)This is a generic error response indicating that the server has encountered an unexpected issue that prevented it from fulfilling the request.503 (Service Unavailable)The service is currently unavailable. Please check the API status and updates on https://status.coingecko.com/10002 (API Key Missing)You have provided incorrect API key credentials. Please check your keys in the developer dashboard and ensure that your request is authorised.10005You may not have access to this endpoint. E.g. 'This request is limited Pro API subscribers'. You may wanna subscribe to a paid plan here.1020 (Access Denied)This is due to violation of CDN firewall rule.CORS errorA CORS error occurs when the server doesn’t return the CORS headers required. You may learn more and attempt the recommended solutions here.
