CoinPaprika API Client for WordPress
====================================

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

A PHP client for fetching data from the [CoinPaprika API](https://docs.coinpaprika.com/api-reference/rest-api/introduction) 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.

The CoinPaprika API exposes a free tier (no API key required) and a paid tier (`api-pro.coinpaprika.com`). Both are reachable through the same client.

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

[](#installation)

This package is intended to be installed as a Composer dependency:

`composer require cointokio/coinpaprika-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 CoinPaprika API. Each method represents a separate API endpoint and will either return the decoded response body as an array or a [WP\_Error](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_error/) object.

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

/*
 * There are three ways the Client class can be configured:
 *
 * - Pass the API key (and optionally an endpoint) directly like in the
 *   example below.
 * - Define a COINPAPRIKA_API_KEY (and optionally a COINPAPRIKA_API_ENDPOINT)
 *   constant.
 * - Skip both entirely; the client will then target the free endpoint
 *   (https://api.coinpaprika.com/v1) without an Authorization header.
 */
$client = new Cointokio\CoinPaprika\Client( 'your-api-key' );

/*
 * Use the key()->get_info() method to inspect the configured API key.
 * Requires a paid plan (the free tier rejects this endpoint with a 403).
 *
 * @see https://docs.coinpaprika.com/api-reference/key/get-api-key-info
 */
$response = $client->key()->get_info();

```

The following example uses the `$client->tickers()->get()` method to fetch data from the `/tickers/{coin_id}` endpoint:

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

$client = new Cointokio\CoinPaprika\Client();

/*
 * Get the latest ticker for Bitcoin, with prices in USD and EUR.
 *
 * Note that the $client->tickers() method returns an instance of the
 * \Cointokio\CoinPaprika\Tickers class. This allows us to use the Tickers
 * class methods more easily via method chaining, eg.:
 *
 * $client->tickers()->get_list()
 * $client->tickers()->get( 'btc-bitcoin', array( 'quotes' => 'USD,EUR' ) )
 *
 * @see https://docs.coinpaprika.com/api-reference/tickers/get-ticker-for-a-specific-coin
 * @see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_chaining
 */
$response = $client->tickers()->get(
	'btc-bitcoin',
	array( 'quotes' => 'USD,EUR' )
);

```

Free vs paid endpoints
----------------------

[](#free-vs-paid-endpoints)

CoinPaprika serves the free tier from `https://api.coinpaprika.com/v1` and the paid tiers from `https://api-pro.coinpaprika.com/v1`. The API key only authorises requests against the pro endpoint. To keep secrets from leaking, this client only attaches the `Authorization` header when the configured endpoint host matches one of the two recognised CoinPaprika hosts; requests to any other host (eg. a local mock or proxy) are sent without the header.

`quotes` limit
--------------

[](#quotes-limit)

The `/tickers` and `/tickers/{coin_id}` endpoints accept a comma-separated `quotes` parameter (eg. `USD,EUR,BTC`), capped at **3 quotes per request**. When you need more conversions, issue one request per chunk of three:

```
foreach ( array_chunk( $fiats, 3 ) as $chunk ) {
    $response = $client->tickers()->get( 'btc-bitcoin', array(
        'quotes' => implode( ',', $chunk ),
    ) );
    // Aggregate per-chunk responses into your own structure.
}

```

Coin ID format
--------------

[](#coin-id-format)

CoinPaprika coin IDs follow the pattern `{symbol}-{name}` (lowercase, hyphens for spaces). Examples: `btc-bitcoin`, `eth-ethereum`, `usdt-tether`, `sol-solana`. Use `$client->tools()->search( $query )` to look up the correct id for any coin.
