CMC AI

Returns the cryptocurrencies for which CMC AI currently writes Coin Detail Page content. Call this before /v5/cmc-ai/coins/latest when you need to know which coins are covered, and which of those currently have an empty insights[]. No answer bodies are returned here.

Current coverage is the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap. The set rotates as the ranking changes. All filters are optional. A filter that matches a coin we do not cover is not an error. That coin is simply absent from data.coins[], and total_size reflects the matched count. A param-less call returns the full supported set.

Plan credit use: 1 call credit per request. Repeat calls that return the same content are not charged.
CMC equivalent page: No equivalent, API only.

Returns the CMC AI questions, answers, and top news from the CoinMarketCap homepage. Use it when you want a market briefing as structured data in a dashboard, terminal, or research product.

On the homepage these insights appear as the blue question pills above the cryptocurrency list. Some questions are a fixed template. Others are written for current market conditions and then go away.

• fixed_question is a stable template that stays in the rotation. Examples include "What are the trending narratives?", "Are altcoins outperforming Bitcoin?", and "What is the market sentiment?". The question text does not change. The answer is rewritten as the market moves.
• trending_question is a market-dependent question with no fixed template. The question itself appears and disappears with current conditions, for example a one-off prompt about a sudden sector rotation or a catalyst dominating discussion that week.
• top_news is a headline plus recap of a current story, for example "BTC stuck near $63K as US spot ETFs see $390M outflows". Headlines change as the news cycle changes.

This endpoint is market-wide. Coin-specific questions appear as blue pills below the charts on a Coin Detail Page. Use /v5/cmc-ai/coins/latest and /v5/cmc-ai/coins/map for those.

Refresh cadence:

• fixed_question: about every 30 minutes.

CMC equivalent page: The blue question pills above the list on coinmarketcap.com.

Returns the CMC AI questions and answers for a cryptocurrency. Use it to attach explainers to any asset you already display, including why the price moved today, what people are saying, what is on the roadmap, and the latest news. Exactly one of crypto_id, slug, or symbol is required; they are mutually exclusive.

On a Coin Detail Page these insights appear as the blue question pills below the price chart, for example on coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/. Some questions are a fixed template for that coin. Others are written for current market conditions and then go away.

• fixed_question is a stable template. Examples include "What is Bitcoin?", "What could affect BTC's future price?", "What is next on BTC's roadmap?", and "What is the latest update in BTC's codebase?". Two templates depend on the day's move: "Why is BTC's price up today?" (price_up) or "Why is BTC's price down today?" (price_down). Only one of those is shown. A coin never returns both.
• trending_question is a market-dependent question about that coin with no fixed template, for example a one-off prompt about a protocol incident or a catalyst unique to that asset.
• top_news is a headline tied to the requested coin. These change as the news cycle changes.

When a requested cryptocurrency is in the coverage set but has no content yet, it is still returned with an empty insights[] array rather than an error. Coins skipped by skip_invalid, and coins returned with an empty insights[], are not charged. Pagination is over cryptocurrencies, not over individual insights. Coverage is the current top 100 by market cap and is not guaranteed per question. Use /v5/cmc-ai/coins/map first if you need to know which coins currently have coverage. Market-wide homepage questions live on /v5/cmc-ai/latest.

Refresh cadence by question:

• price_up and price_down: about every 1 hour.
• future_price, sentiment, and latest_news: about every 8 hours.
• overview, roadmap, and codebase: about every 24 hours.
• trending_question: about every 24 hours.
