## What it is
A Python client library wrapping the CoinGecko API v3, supporting both the free Public API and the Pro API with API key authentication. It exposes CoinGecko endpoints as Python functions for fetching cryptocurrency prices, market data, and NFT information.

## Use cases
- fetch bitcoin and ethereum prices in python
- get crypto market data from coingecko
- track cryptocurrency prices in usd and eur
- query coingecko api with a pro api key
- get nft data from coingecko
- build a crypto price tracker in python

## When to choose
- you need cryptocurrency market data in a Python project
- you want a thin, simple wrapper over the CoinGecko REST API
- you need support for both public and Pro CoinGecko API keys

## When to avoid
- you need real-time exchange trading or order execution
- you use a language other than Python
- you need data from exchanges other than CoinGecko

## Facets
