Lets an agent pull cryptocurrency market data from CoinDesk Data (formerly CryptoCompare): current prices across many symbols, daily and hourly historical OHLCV, top coin lists by market cap or volume, and the latest crypto news.

This connector uses the stable min-api.cryptocompare.com base, which serves the same data that powers CoinDesk Data.

What it can do

Method	What it does
coindesk_price	Current prices for multiple coins in multiple currencies. full=true adds 24h change, volume, and market cap.
coindesk_historical_daily	Daily historical OHLCV for a coin/currency pair.
coindesk_historical_hourly	Hourly historical OHLCV for a coin/currency pair.
coindesk_top_list	Top coins ranked by market cap (default) or total volume.
coindesk_news	Latest crypto news articles, optionally filtered by language and categories.
coindesk_request	Generic passthrough to any endpoint for full coverage.

1. Sign in at CryptoCompare (the CoinDesk Data developer dashboard).
2. Open API Keys (cryptocompare.com/cryptopian/api-keys).
3. Create a key, or copy an existing one. A free tier is available.

Troubleshooting

• 401 / Response: Error about the API key - the key is wrong or missing. Re-copy it from the dashboard API Keys page.
• 429 Too Many Requests - you hit the monthly call limit for your tier. Wait for the reset or upgrade.
• Unknown coin/currency - use ticker symbols, e.g. BTC, ETH, USD. The API returns a Response: Error body for unrecognised symbols (surfaced as an error).
• Empty history - reduce limit, or check that the fsym/tsym pair is actually traded.
