Summary: Get simple price data Operation ID: getSimplePrice Auth: none
Get the current price of one or more cryptocurrencies in any supported fiat or crypto currency. This is the most efficient way to fetch just price data without the overhead of full coin details. Supports multiple coins and multiple target currencies in a single call — for example, get Bitcoin and Ethereum prices in USD, EUR, and JPY simultaneously. Also optionally includes 24-hour change, volume, market cap, and last updated timestamp.
Original spec description
Get current price for one or more coins in one or more currencies. Lightweight endpoint.
Usage Tips
- Use `ids` parameter with comma-separated CoinGecko IDs (e.g., 'bitcoin,ethereum' not 'BTC,ETH')
- Use `vs_currencies` with comma-separated currency codes (e.g., 'usd,eur,gbp')
- Set `include_market_cap=true` when you need market cap data alongside prices
- Maximum efficiency: request multiple coins and currencies in one call
- Coin IDs must match CoinGecko's internal IDs — use /coins/list to find them
