FAQ about Coingecko price feed
1. What is the CoinGecko price feed used for?
It allows workflows to fetch real-time crypto asset prices that can be used in alerts, calculations, conditional logic, automated trades, or reporting workflows.
2. Where can I get an API key?
You can generate an API key from the CoinGecko Developer Dashboard by creating an account and copying the key into the node configuration.

No. The free plan is sufficient for testing and low-frequency workflows, but production workflows with frequent requests should use the Pro plan to avoid rate limits.

Yes. API keys can be stored as secrets instead of being entered directly, improving security and simplifying key rotation.

It verifies that the API key is valid, confirms the selected API plan is supported, and ensures that Decimal can successfully connect to the CoinGecko data source before proceeding.
