Pricing CoinGecko HTTP Overview
Overview of the @tetherto/wdk-pricing-coingecko-http module
The @tetherto/wdk-pricing-coingecko-http module provides a CoinGecko-backed PricingClient for current prices, batched price lookups, price data with 24-hour change, and historical price series.
Use it when you want a CoinGecko data source for WDK price displays, balance valuation, charts, or as a fallback client behind PricingProvider.
This module is published as v1.0.0-beta.1. It uses CoinGecko's HTTP API and is subject to CoinGecko rate limits, data availability, and API-key tier behavior.
