How to use the Coin Gecko API without code

For this example, we will be using the Coins Market Related Data API from Coin Gecko. Click the "Try Me" button on the top right of the screen to begin.

A tab should open up titled "New Table - Coins Market Related Data."

For this particular API, we'll be getting a list of coins with up-to-date data on their performance, market caps, and listings. You can sort results by market cap (ascending and descending), name, and rank. You can also filter results by specific categories (for example, cryptocurrencies that have something to do with analytics or big data).

Once you've filled out the parameters, select the number of results you want to retrieve. By default, 250 results are retrieved. 

Now click Run.

After clicking "Run," watch as your table gets populated with live data. Now, you can further customize your data by editing individual cells, adding filters, and adjusting columns. All of these changes will be saved automatically.
