Question 1

How do I authenticate access to both CoinGecko Pro and Coinglass APIs within B3OS?

Accepted Answer

Create separate API keys for CoinGecko Pro and Coinglass, then configure them as environment variables in B3OS. Use the platform's credential manager to store and rotate keys securely, ensuring uninterrupted access for automated workflows.

Question 2

Can I synchronize price data from CoinGecko with funding rate information from Coinglass in a single automation step?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Design a workflow that first calls the CoinGecko Pro endpoint for current prices, then triggers a Coinglass API request for the relevant futures contract’s funding rate. Chain the responses into a unified payload for downstream actions like trading signals or alerts.

Question 3

What rate limits should I be aware of when integrating both services?

Accepted Answer

CoinGecko Pro offers higher rate limits than the free tier, typically up to 100 requests per minute, while Coinglass provides a more generous quota of 1,000 requests per hour. Implement request throttling and caching in B3OS to stay within each provider’s limits and avoid throttling errors.

Question 4

How can I handle data inconsistencies or missing fields when merging responses from both APIs?

Accepted Answer

Validate the JSON structure of each API response before merging. Use schema validation to detect missing fields, then apply fallback logic—such as defaulting to the last known value or skipping the step—to ensure the workflow continues without interruption.
