Getting Started

After subscribing to a CoinGecko API paid plan, you can follow this guide below to start using our Pro version API.

Reminder: Pro API is accessible by any user who is subscribed to a paid API plan, it is different from our Public API. To call Pro API with a key, you should always use this root URL: https://pro-api.coingecko.com/api/v3​
1. Create a new API Key
Once you're logged to your CoinGecko account, go to Developer's Dashboard.
Click on “+ Add New Key” and a new API Key will be created
2. Making API request
Root URL for Pro API: https://pro-api.coingecko.com/api/v3​
You will be using the newly created API Key as query parameter. Request Example:
curl https://pro-api.coingecko.com/api/v3/ping?x_cg_pro_api_key=YOUR_API_KEY
You can check list of all available endpoints here in our official documentation:
https://www.coingecko.com/en/api/documentation​
Exclusive endpoints for paid plan users are listed here.
Tips: 
Remember to add &x_cg_pro_api_key= and replace YOUR_API_KEY with your own API Key.
Here's an example of calling Bitcoin's market data with your Pro API key: https://pro-api.coingecko.com/api/v3/coins/markets?vs_currency=usd&ids=bitcoin&x_cg_pro_api_key=YOUR_API_KEY​
You can also supply your API key via custom header named: x-cg-pro-api-key
 
3. Editing or Deleting API Key

Click “Delete Key” to delete this API key
You can also update the “Label” and click “Confirm” to confirm your update
