❓ FAQ

Why am I getting CoinGecko 429 errors?

CoinGecko's free API limits you to ~30 calls/minute. When you exceed it, you get HTTP 429. The x402 paid tier removes this limit but costs $0.01/call. minia2a offers the same no-rate-limit model at 5x lower cost.

Do I need to sign up or create an account?

No. minia2a uses x402 protocol — your wallet IS your account. Send USDC to pay, receive API credits instantly. No email, no KYC, no API key.

What tokens do you support?

BTC, ETH, SOL, AVAX, MATIC, XRP, ADA, DOT, LINK, UNI + 1000s more. Free tier covers top 10. Paid tier covers all tokens CoinGecko lists.
