The agent queries the CoinMarketCap API to retrieve the latest price data for the requested symbol. It relies on CoinMarketCap for market prices and timestamps, ensuring data is current at the moment of retrieval. If CoinMarketCap experiences latency, the agent may return the most recent available price with a note about potential delay. You can adjust the frequency and scope of lookups in the API integration settings to balance freshness and reliability.
Prices are fetched from CoinMarketCap in real time when requested. There is a small latency between the API call and delivery due to network communication and processing. The system is designed to present the most current price available at the moment of the request. For high-frequency needs, you can set up automated polling within the limits of the API plan.
Create an account on CoinMarketCap and generate an API key from the dashboard. Copy the key and paste it into the agent's API credentials configuration, typically under a secure credentials store. Ensure the key has the required permissions for price quotes. Keep the key confidential and rotate it if you suspect it has been exposed.
Yes. Users can request prices for BTC, ETH, and many other assets by sending the symbol in Telegram. The agent validates input, fetches the corresponding price, and returns a formatted response. If a symbol is invalid or not found, a clear error message is returned with guidance on acceptable inputs.
Session data is stored in a memory-backed log to facilitate traceability and debugging. It is kept transient and not exposed publicly. Data is used solely to improve response consistency and does not transfer to external services beyond the configured integrations. You can configure retention policies and deletion timing in the agent settings.
Yes. By default, prices are shown in USD, but you can specify a preferred currency for display. The CoinMarketCap API supports multiple fiat currencies, and the agent formats the price accordingly. Changes to currency display take effect immediately for subsequent requests. If a currency is unsupported, the agent will default to USD and inform the user.
If the API is unavailable, the agent returns a friendly, informative message indicating temporary service disruption. It may retry after a brief interval and log the incident for auditing. The user receives a clear note that the price data is temporarily unavailable. When service resumes, normal lookups continue automatically.
