CoinGecko data,
priced per call.
CoinGecko via Locus is a pay-per-call gateway to CoinGecko market data — live prices, token lookup, historical charts, exchange data, NFT floors, on-chain DEX feeds, and trending coins for 3M+ digital assets. Send a request, get the data, and avoid a $129–$499/month plan while you validate demand.
Built for teams that need crypto data without the plan-tier math.
Four shapes of customer who benefit most. If you recognize your workflow, the per-call model is in your favor.
Crypto data as just another tool call.
Agent discovery and automatic payment let an autonomous trading or research agent self-onboard at runtime. The agent fires a request, gets live prices or historical OHLC back, and moves on — no human-managed CoinGecko subscription anywhere in the loop.
Pull token data without a Pro plan.
Payment products, portfolio trackers, and DeFi dashboards embed live prices, charts, and metadata through one endpoint. Per-call billing maps cleanly to per-user query patterns — bursts during market events scale linearly instead of hitting a rate cliff.
Backtest without committing to a plan.
Pull 12 years of 5-minute OHLC for any token in coverage. Evaluate whether the data fits your strategy with a tiny spend, then scale only if the signal works. No Analyst-tier upfront commitment.
Embed live prices in newsletters, dashboards, and reports.
Crypto research products and dashboards surface market state without negotiating an enterprise contract. The endpoint becomes a primitive: one call returns the data, billed at the rate the product actually generates.
Stop guessing your way up the plan ladder.
Choose a payment method, hit the endpoint, and your first chart lands a moment later. If you don't query for a month, you don't pay for the month. Same data CoinGecko ships at the Pro tier, billed per request instead. That's the entire deal.
- Full CoinGecko coverage
- No signup, no API key
- Agent-ready
- SOC-2 Type 2
The honest answers.
If something below doesn't cover your case, ping us — we answer directly, no SDR funnel.
What data does the gateway expose?
+
The full CoinGecko Pro API surface — live and historical prices, market cap, exchange feeds, on-chain DEX data, NFT collection floors, derivatives data, and trending coins for 3M+ digital assets. Same fields and conventions as the CoinGecko Pro docs.
Is the data different from CoinGecko's direct API?
+
No. The gateway proxies CoinGecko's Pro endpoints, so the data quality, coverage, and freshness match exactly. The only difference is the access shape: per-call billing instead of monthly tiers.
Do I need a CoinGecko account or API key?
+
No. Authentication is per-request through pay-per-call access. Choose a payment method, sign the request, get the data. No signup form, no key to rotate, no shared secret in agent logs.
How does this compare to going direct on CoinGecko API pricing?
+
Direct CoinGecko plans run Demo (free, 30 RPM, 10K calls/month) → Analyst at $129/month → Pro at $499/month → Enterprise on contract. The gateway charges per call instead, which fits better when traffic is bursty, when you don't want to commit during a build-out, or when an autonomous agent needs to call without a billing-entity-owned API key.
Can I query CoinGecko on-chain DEX API data?
+
Yes. The gateway exposes CoinGecko Pro coverage including token prices, token lookup, exchange data, NFT data, and on-chain DEX feeds, so agent and app workflows can request the specific market context they need.
Can autonomous AI agents use this?
+
Yes — that's a primary design point. The endpoint supports Agent discovery and automatic payment, so an autonomous agent can find it, call it, pay for it, and consume the response without a human creating an account.
What about rate limits?
+
Per-key rate limits apply with concurrency-fair queueing — a noisy client never starves another client on the same key. Practical limits scale with the underlying CoinGecko Pro tier the gateway runs on, which is well above what individual agents typically need.
