CoinGecko API Client for WordPress
==================================

[](#coingecko-api-client-for-wordpress)

A PHP client for fetching data from the [CoinGecko API](https://www.coingecko.com/en/api/documentation) intended to be used in WordPress plugins or themes. Being a good WordPress citizen, this client uses the WordPress core [HTTP API](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/http-api/) to fetch its data.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

This package is [available on packagist.org](https://packagist.org/packages/cointokio/coingecko-api-client) can be added as a dependency to your project via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org).

`composer require cointokio/coingecko-api-client`

Use
---

[](#use)

Include the main `class-client.php` file and create an instance of the `Client` class and use its methods to fetch data from the CoinGecko API. Each method represents a separate API endpoint and will either return a list of response data or a [WP\_Error](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_error/) object. Note that access to the CoinGecko API requires an API key.

```
require_once '/your/cool/path/to/coingecko-client/class-client.php';

/*
 * There are two ways the Client class can use your coingecko API key:
 *
 * - Pass the API key to the Client class directly like in the example below.
 * - Define a global COINGECKO_API_KEY variable.
 */
$client = new Cointokio\CoinGecko\Client( 'your-api-key' );

/*
 * Use the ping() method to check the CoinGecko API status.
 *
 * @see https://www.coingecko.com/api/documentations/v3#/ping
 */
$response = $client->ping();

```

The following example uses the `$client->coins()->get_markets()` method to fetch data from CoinGecko's `/coins/markets` endpoint. Note that access to the CoinGecko API requires an API key.

```
require_once '/your/cool/path/to/coingecko-client/class-client.php';

$client  = new Cointokio\CoinGecko\Client( 'your-api-key' );

/*
 * Get a list of price, market cap, volume and market-related data.
 *
 * @see https://www.coingecko.com/api/documentations/v3#/coins/get_coins_markets
 *
 * Note that the $client->coins() method returns an instance of the
 * \Cointokio\CoinGecko\Coins class. This allows us to use the Coins class methods
 * more easily via method chaining, eg.:
 *
 * $client->coins()->get_list()
 * $client->coins()->get_markets()
 *
 * @see https://github.com/cointokio/coingecko-api-client/blob/main/class-client.php#L41
 * @see https://github.com/cointokio/coingecko-api-client/blob/main/classes/class-coins.php
 * @see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_chaining
 */
$response = $client->coins()->get_markets(
	'eur',
	array( 'ids' => 'btc, eth' )
);

```
