data_object

Clean structured JSON

Fields come back parsed and validated, not a dump of HTML. Store CoinGecko coin records straight into your database instead of writing brittle selectors for coingecko scraper.

gpp_good

Bypasses CAPTCHAs and anti-bot defenses

We get past CAPTCHAs, IP rate limiting, IP blocking, and headless-browser detection on CoinGecko using rotating, country-matched residential proxies, so requests look like real users and your own IP stays private.

api

One API call

The CoinGecko Scraper API is one simple API call. The same key works across our whole web scraping API: all 235 targets, any language, no SDK required.

travel_explore

Geo-targeting and JS rendering

Pass a country for proxy geo-targeting and turn on JavaScript rendering when a CoinGecko page needs it. coingecko data api handles dynamic content and region-locked results.

Scrape CoinGecko in one API request

Send one API request to the CoinGecko Scraper API and read back typed fields. Chocodata routes the request through country-matched residential proxies, retries soft blocks, and parses the page, so coingecko api stays reliable as CoinGecko's markup shifts.

CoinGecko Scraper API FAQ

Is it legal to scrape CoinGecko?

expand_more
Scraping publicly accessible CoinGecko data is generally legal in the US under the Ninth Circuit's hiQ v. LinkedIn ruling, which held that scraping public web data does not violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. It does not override CoinGecko's own Terms of Service, which are a contract matter, so check those for your use case and comply with data laws such as GDPR. This is general information, not legal advice.

How do I scrape CoinGecko without getting blocked?

expand_more
You scrape CoinGecko without getting blocked by letting Chocodata route every request through country-matched residential proxies with automatic rotation and retries. Because the traffic looks like real users from real networks, the CoinGecko Scraper API gets through anti-bot defenses that block datacenter IPs, and you never expose your own address.

What data does the CoinGecko Scraper API return?

expand_more
The CoinGecko Scraper API returns CoinGecko coin data as structured JSON: the core fields parsed from the page, ready to store or query. Exact fields depend on the coin type, and only successful (2xx) responses are billed.

How much does the CoinGecko Scraper API cost?

expand_more
The CoinGecko Scraper API costs nothing to start: the Free plan includes 1,000 requests per month (5,000 credits) across all 235 targets. After that, monthly plans begin at $19, or you top up pay-as-you-go at $0.90 per 1,000 successful requests. One request is 5 credits, and non-2xx responses are never charged.

Do I need a CoinGecko account or login?

expand_more
No CoinGecko account or login is required. The CoinGecko Scraper API reads publicly accessible coin pages, so you only need a Chocodata API key, not CoinGecko credentials. Pages that sit behind a CoinGecko login are out of scope.
