Description

Search for cryptocurrencies, categories, and exchanges by name or symbol. Returns matching coins with their ID, name, symbol, market cap rank, and thumbnail. Perfect for search boxes and autocomplete features. Use this when users type coin names or symbols and you need to find the corresponding CoinGecko ID.

From spec: Search for coins, categories and markets listed on CoinGecko ordered by largest Market Cap first.

Usage Tips

- Search query can be partial names or symbols (e.g., 'bit', 'btc', 'bitcoin') - Returns coins sorted by relevance and market cap rank - Also returns matching exchange results and category results - Case-insensitive search - Use the returned `id` field to then call /coins/{id} for full details
