Use one TaskFuel account and prepaid balance. Inspect the provider and request quote before a paid call, then review the returned response and recorded charge. ## When to use it ### Check the data behind your idea. Request the time range you need. Check for missing dates before drawing a conclusion. ### Fill a view with market data. Fetch the fields your interface needs. Each refresh is another request. ### Use a paid call when it earns its place. For a price you can already get from a free source, use that source. ## Questions ### Can't my agent just look up a price for free? For one current price, a free source may be enough. TaskFuel is useful when your agent needs structured data from a supported provider in the same task. Check the requested history range and the price first. ### What does a call cost? Our seven-day Bitcoin/USD history request cost 6¢ on 29 October 2026. Your agent shows the price for your own request before it pays. ### Where does the data come from? This guide uses CoinGecko through TaskFuel. Fields, coverage and freshness depend on the selected provider. ### Do I need a CoinGecko account or API key? No. Your agent pays from your TaskFuel balance, so there is nothing else to sign up for. ### What can it actually answer? Historical and current prices, market caps and volumes, ranked market pages, per-coin profiles, tokens by contract address, exchange listings and rates, categories, trending coins, top gainers and losers, and global and DeFi market stats. ### Can it watch a price for me? Your AI can check again whenever you ask, and each check is billed separately. There is no standing subscription quietly polling in the background. ### What if a lookup fails? A provider error (4xx or 5xx) is not charged. A lookup that succeeds with an empty or unhelpful answer can still be charged. ## Related tool guides - [Read prediction market questions and outcome prices](https://taskfuel.ai/tools/polymarket-mcp/) - [Find the posts behind a market claim](https://taskfuel.ai/tools/x-search/) - [Compare prediction market API options](https://taskfuel.ai/tools/prediction-market-api/) - [Compare Finnhub alternatives for stock data](https://taskfuel.ai/tools/finnhub-alternative/) ## Reference - [Read this guide on the website](https://taskfuel.ai/tools/crypto-market-data/). - [Browse providers and capabilities](https://taskfuel.ai/catalog/). - [Pricing](https://taskfuel.ai/pricing/). - [Agent instructions](https://taskfuel.ai/llms.txt).
