# Gecko

**Gecko Command for Real-time Crypto Coin Metrics** 

Fetch real-time crypto coin metrics from a trusted crypto data terminal using the **/gecko** command. 

You can look up any coin metric or stat swiftly, including those of newly listed altcoins.

**Usage:**\
`/gecko $paal [metric or stat]`

**Examples:**

* For general metrics:\
  `/gecko $paal metrics`
* For the contract address of the coin:\
  `/gecko $paal contract address`
* To find out the all-time high of the coin:\
  `/gecko $paal ath`

**Setting a Default Contract Address for the AI Bot**

In addition to fetching real-time crypto coin metrics, you can also set a default contract address for your AI Bot. This allows for quick and efficient retrieval of data for a specific cryptocurrency without needing to input the contract address each time.

**Usage:**

* `/setgecko [contract address]`

This command sets a default contract address for the AI Bot. Once set, you can simply use `/gecko [metric or stat]` without specifying the contract address each time.

**Example:**

1. To set the default contract:
   * `/setgecko 0x123abc456def789ghi...`
2. Then, to retrieve the all-time high of the default coin:
   * `/gecko ath`

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.paal.ai/mypaal/discord/gecko.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
