Installation

Add the dependency to your Dart / Flutter project:

dependencies:
  coingecko_api: ^1.1.0

Usage

1. Create an instance of the API wrapper:

   CoinGeckoApi api = CoinGeckoApi();
   

2. Use any methods provided by wrapper. The methods are divided into sections, just as the CoinGecko does.

   final marketChart = await api.coins.getCoinMarketChart(
     id: 'bitcoin',
     vsCurrency: 'usd',
     days: 7,
   );
   

3. Work with the result as you see fit:

   if (!marketChart.isError) {
     marketChart.data.forEach((item) {
       print('Price: ${item.price}, Market Cap: ${item.marketCap}');
     });
   }
   

Documentation

All methods are asynchronous and use Future, so you need to use await to get the result.

Query results

The result of each method is a special object of type CoinGeckoResult. This is a kind of wrapper that allows you to first find out how successful the request was using its isError property. If isError is false, then we can use the data property of this object to get the processed data itself. Otherwise, we can view the error code and error message using properties errorCode and errorMessage.

Sections

All methods are divided into sections for easier understanding of the purpose of each method. To call any method, we first need to specify a section.

General scheme:

final result = await api./*section name*/./*method name*/(/*parameters*/);

All sections fully correspond to those in the CoinGecko API documentation itself: https://www.coingecko.com/api/documentation

Let's take a closer look at each of the sections and a set of methods in them. Each section will contain a table indicating the method, a short description of the method and the corresponding query string from the official CoinGecko website.
