CoinGeckoApi

CoinGecko API Library for .NET

CoinGecko API Documentation

Library Documentation

Features

• Method names and locations match API
• Concrete classes (with very few exceptions)
• Fully asynchronous
• Compatible with dependency injection and logging
• Integrated response caching
• Integrated rate limiting
• Easier to use then other libraries
• Supports PRO endpoints (I have no way to test)

Just create an instance of 'CoinGeckoClient' and start making calls.

coingeckoapi's Issues

Complete Documentation

The code documentation needs to be completed.
Many summaries are just marked as TODO

Add Service Collection Extension

Add an extension method for IServiceCollection to make dependency injection one call.

Naming Violation

CoinGeckoApi/CoinGeckoAPI/Models/ExchangeVolumeChartItem.cs

Line 6 in a248a47

public decimal? volume { get; set; }

property name should start with a capital

Feat: Optional Automatic Rate Limiting

Add the ability to automatically rate limit calls.

A simple example of doing this is used in the Tests.

Feat: Add PRO API Support

Add PRO API calls from https://coingeckoapi.notion.site/coingeckoapi/CoinGecko-Pro-API-exclusive-endpoints-529f4bb5c4d84d5fad797b09cfdb4b53

Remove the isPro from constructors and add constructors that take x_cg_pro_api_key as param.

Why they charge so much for a few simple calls is beyond me.... ughhh

Feat: Response Caching

All responses should be cached using a memcache with cache time based on the Cache-Control and age headers of the response. Where 'Cache-Control [max-age]' is the maximum cache time in seconds and 'Age' is how long the response has already been cached.

Example Headers

• cache-control: public, max-age=120
• age: 10

According to the above headers we would then cache this response for 110 seconds.
