Quick examples
The identifier prevents confusion between similar assets
Search returns coins with id, name, symbol, market_cap_rank, and images. A symbol can be short and similar to another asset; id is the safer reference for sending a lookup to another route. Compare name, symbol, and id before choosing a result, especially when search returns derivative projects or nearly identical names.
- Keep id with name and symbol in a list.
- Do not choose a result from a ticker alone.
- Use thumb or large as an image supplied by the response.
Ranking varies and is not a recommendation
market_cap_rank appears in a search response as a market position at query time. It does not state price, liquidity, safety, suitability to buy, or a future outcome. Show when the lookup was made if displaying rank, and query again before comparing results from different moments.
- Do not turn ranking into financial advice.
- Do not infer price from this search route.
- Refresh the lookup for data that moves with the market.
