What This Skill Does
Queries real-time cryptocurrency prices and market data using the free CoinGecko API. Supports price lookups, market cap rankings, 24-hour change monitoring, and coin search across 10,000+ coins. Multiple fiat currency outputs are available including USD, EUR, CNY, JPY, and KRW.
No API key or account is required, making it faster to set up than paid data providers or exchange APIs.
When to use it
- Check current Bitcoin or Ethereum price in local currency
- View top 10 coins ranked by market cap
- Monitor 24h price swings before making a trade
- Look up an obscure altcoin by name or ticker symbol
- Convert crypto prices to CNY or EUR for regional comparison
