In the SDK
Wire CoinGecko via the chainkit builder
The builder accepts every provider you want in rotation. chainkit handles failover, retries, and scoring across them — pick capability coverage, not a single vendor.
import (
"github.com/exapsy/chainkit"
"github.com/exapsy/chainkit/bitcoin/providers"
bttypes "github.com/exapsy/chainkit/bitcoin/types"
)
p := providers.NewCoingecko(/* opts — see godoc */)
client, _ := chainkit.NewMixedProvidersBuilder().
WithProvider(p).
Build(ctx)Snippet illustrative; refer to the godoc for the exact constructor signature.
