This Connector lets your AI agent do the heavy lifting by pulling live market data directly into your conversation. If you need to know the current price of a coin in a specific fiat currency, your agent can grab that instantly. You can also dig into the past to see how a specific asset performed over the last few days or even months using historical data points. Instead of manually searching for which coins have the highest market caps or which trading pairs are seeing the most volume, you can just ask. This tool handles the filtering for you. It also keeps you in the loop with the latest news feeds, so you don't have to scour social media for updates. It's a way to turn your AI client into a personal crypto terminal. You can set this up quickly through the Vinkius catalog to get your data flowing without any complex coding. It turns a messy research process into a simple back-and-forth chat. You get a clear picture of the market without the friction of manual data entry or constant tab switching. Whether you are tracking a specific whale move or just checking the daily close, the information comes to you exactly when you ask for it. This is especially useful when you need to cross-reference multiple assets at once. You can request a summary of the top performers or ask for a breakdown of news categories to see what the current sentiment is. It replaces the need to keep a spreadsheet open or constantly refresh a dashboard. ## Tools ### get_historical_minute Get minute historical OHLCV data.
