Data Overview
The CoinGecko Coins source provides two types of data: time-series market chart data and point-in-time historical records. Both entities are scoped to a single coin and currency pair per source configuration.
Entities
Market charts
Prices, market caps, and total volumes sampled over a selected time window (1 day up to all-time)
Histories
A historical snapshot of a coin's price, market cap, volume, and community/developer data for a given date range
Available data fields
Market charts
timestamp
The date and time for the data point
price
Coin price in the selected currency
market_cap
Total market capitalization at that timestamp
total_volume
Total trading volume across exchanges at that timestamp
Histories
date
The date of the historical record
current_price
Price in the selected currency on that date
market_cap
Market cap on that date
total_volume
Total trading volume on that date
community_data
Metrics like Twitter followers and Reddit subscribers (where available)
developer_data
Developer activity metrics such as GitHub stars and forks (where available)
Common data combinations
Market charts + Histories — use the Join transformation to cross-reference time-series price trends with historical snapshot details for deeper context
Multiple coins via Append — configure one source per coin (e.g. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana) and use Append to create a single unified table for side-by-side comparison
Aggregate transformation — use Aggregate on market chart data to calculate averages, minimums, or maximums over a time window without leaving Coupler.io
Use cases by role
Track the USD or EUR value of crypto holdings over time using Market charts
Pull historical price data into Excel or Google Sheets to support portfolio valuation and reporting
Feed daily price snapshots into BigQuery for auditing or compliance records
Use AI destinations like Claude or ChatGPT to summarize price trends and flag anomalies automatically
Compare price, market cap, and volume trends across multiple coins using Append + Aggregate transformations
Build Looker Studio dashboards powered by live CoinGecko data refreshed on a schedule
Use the
days=maxsetting on Market charts to pull all available history for long-term trend analysisSend aggregated market data to Gemini or Perplexity for AI-generated market commentary
Use Coupler.io as a no-code pipeline to feed CoinGecko data into BigQuery or other data warehouses
Combine CoinGecko data with other financial sources via Join to enrich crypto data with exchange rates or stock prices
Use the Histories entity to backfill datasets with date-range snapshots without hitting the API directly
Platform-specific notes
The Coin ID must match CoinGecko's internal identifier exactly — use the coins list endpoint to look up the correct ID before configuring your source
Market chart data granularity is controlled by CoinGecko based on the
daysparameter: 1 day returns hourly data, ranges above 90 days return daily dataCommunity and developer data in the Histories entity may be
nullfor newer or less-tracked coinsFree-tier CoinGecko API keys have rate limits that may affect how many coins you can sync simultaneously — check your plan limits before setting up many data flows
Each source is scoped to a single coin and currency pair; to track multiple coins or currencies, add additional sources to your data flow
