CoinMarketCap Make integrationAutomate CoinMarketCap with Make.

Need crypto or fiat prices converted inside your automations without copying numbers by hand?

This guide shows you how to connect your API key and build a first working scenario.

What you can automate

What can the CoinMarketCap Make integration do for you?

The CoinMarketCap Make integration links your CoinMarketCap API key to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario: an automation made of modules, each module being one brick that does one job. With CoinMarketCap, those bricks convert prices between fiat money and cryptocurrencies, or call the CoinMarketCap API directly.

Price a payment in crypto. An order or an invoice arrives from another app, Price Conversion turns its amount into the cryptocurrency you pick, and the next module stores or sends the result. Nobody opens a converter tab anymore.

Keep a spreadsheet in your home currency. A finance team logging crypto holdings can let each new entry pass through Price Conversion so the fiat value sits right next to it, ready for reporting.

Reach data the listed modules skip. CoinMarketCap offers only two modules in Make, which is thin. Make an API Call fills the gap: it reaches any endpoint of the CoinMarketCap API with the same connection, so listings or quotes stay within reach if you can read the API documentation.

There is no trigger here, so CoinMarketCap never starts a scenario by itself. You start it from another app or from Make's schedule. The same app often exists in n8n too; the n8n vs Make comparison helps you pick, and the Make pricing page explains how operations are counted. If you prefer to learn with guidance, see the Make training.

Connect

How do you connect CoinMarketCap to Make?

  1. 01

    Copy your API key

    Log in to CoinMarketCap and open the account overview section. Hover over the API key field to reveal it, then click the blue Copy Key button. You need an active CoinMarketCap account with an API key before anything else works.

  2. 02

    Open the connection window

    In your Make scenario, add a CoinMarketCap module and click Create a connection. A connection is your CoinMarketCap account linked to Make once, then reused by every CoinMarketCap module you add later.

  3. 03

    Paste the key and save

    Give the connection a name in Connection name if you like; it is optional but handy when you manage several keys. Paste the API key you copied, follow the on-screen instructions, and save.

First scenario

Build your first scenario with CoinMarketCap

GoalWhen a new amount lands in another app, Make converts it with CoinMarketCap and passes the converted price on.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big +. Because CoinMarketCap has no trigger, the first module comes from the app that holds your amounts, such as a sheet or a form.

  2. 02

    Add Price Conversion

    Click the + to the right of that first module, search for CoinMarketCap, pick Price Conversion and select the connection you created earlier.

  3. 03

    Map the amount

    Fill the module fields and map the amount coming from the previous module. Each item that flows between modules is a bundle: here, one bundle equals one amount to convert.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to execute the scenario a single time. Read the bundles each module received and check the converted value looks right.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch it on

    Set the schedule on the first module with the clock icon (every 15 minutes by default), then switch the scenario on. Each module run on a bundle counts as one operation on your plan.

Modules

What the CoinMarketCap modules do

CoinMarketCap gives you 2 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

CoinMarketCap1

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Make an customised API call”

Opens the whole CoinMarketCap API to your scenario, using the connection you already set up, so you are not limited to the single conversion module. It returns whatever the endpoint you call sends back.

When to use it
you need a piece of CoinMarketCap data that Price Conversion does not cover, and you are comfortable reading the API documentation to pick the right endpoint.
Watch out
Make does not guide you here, so check the endpoint and its parameters in the CoinMarketCap docs before a test run.
CoinMarketCap2

Price Conversion

Action

In Make“Converts fiat and cryptocurrency prices”

Gives you an amount expressed in another currency, between fiat money and cryptocurrencies, in the direction you need. The converted value then flows to the next module like any other data.

When to use it
an invoice, an order or a ledger line arrives in one currency and your records need it in another.
Watch out
it runs once per bundle, so a long list costs one operation per line.

FAQ

Questions about the CoinMarketCap Make integration

01Is the CoinMarketCap Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. CoinMarketCap is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, runs at most every 15 minutes, stops an execution after 5 minutes and handles files up to 5 MB with 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans drop the interval to 1 minute and allow unlimited active scenarios. Your CoinMarketCap subscription is a separate matter: the API key comes from your CoinMarketCap account, and its terms are set on the CoinMarketCap pricing page.
02What do you need to connect CoinMarketCap to Make?
An active CoinMarketCap account and an API key. In your CoinMarketCap account overview, hover over the API key field to reveal it and click Copy Key. In Make, add any CoinMarketCap module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, then paste the key and save. The connection is reused by both CoinMarketCap modules, so you only do this once per key. If the key is not accepted, check that your CoinMarketCap subscription is active.
03Can a CoinMarketCap scenario start in real time?
Not from CoinMarketCap itself, because the app has no trigger module in Make. The scenario has to start elsewhere. You can open it with a trigger from another app, such as a new row or a new form entry, or simply let Make run it on its schedule, every 15 minutes by default and down to 1 minute on paid plans. On the Free plan, 15 minutes is the shortest gap between two scheduled runs. If the first app offers an instant trigger, marked with a lightning badge, the scenario starts as soon as that app calls Make.
04What if a CoinMarketCap module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. With only 2 modules listed, this is the normal way to reach the rest of the CoinMarketCap API: any endpoint can be called from the scenario with the same connection, no second setup needed. You need to know which endpoint returns what you want, so keep the CoinMarketCap API documentation open. Also note that Make labels its CoinMarketCap documentation as AI-generated, so verify important details with CoinMarketCap directly.
05Should you use Make or n8n for CoinMarketCap?
It depends on the tool your team already works in. CoinMarketCap often has a node in n8n as well, so both can usually handle the same price conversions. In Make, you get Price Conversion ready to use plus Make an API Call for everything else, all on one connection, and CoinMarketCap is available from the Free plan. The honest test is to build the same small conversion flow in the tool you know and see which one your team maintains more comfortably.
