coingecko-cli

Fixed fork of the original CoinGecko CLI tool with User-Agent header support.

What's Fixed

The original coingecko-cli package (v1.6.1) stopped working because:

• CoinGecko API now requires a User-Agent header
• The dependency @codingholt/coingecko-api-v3@0.0.13 didn't set one
• All requests returned 403 errors

This fork (v1.7.2) fixes it by:

• Switching from scoped @codingholt/coingecko-api-v3 to coingecko-api-v3@0.0.31
• Version 0.0.31 includes proper User-Agent header
• Updated axios from 0.27.2 to 1.7.9 (security patches)
• Removed deprecated regex dependency

Installation

npm install -g coingecko-cli

The CLI is available as cg command.

Usage

Price Check

cg price bitcoin ethereum virtual-protocol
