Set Request Parameters

APIs often use query parameters to modify the data returned in a request. For example, in the following URL:

https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/coins/markets?vs_currency=usd&ids=bitcoin,ethereum,solana,dogecoin
  • vs_currency=usd specifies the currency.
  • ids=bitcoin,ethereum,solana,dogecoin filters the data for specific cryptocurrencies.

You can add, edit, or remove query parameters manually in the URL input or use the Parameters tab for a structured approach.

Entering API URL​

Make sure you've entered the API base URL and endpoint path in the URL input field.
