```

### Search for a Coin
```bash
python3 scripts/crypto-price.py search solana
```

## Commands

### `search <keyword>`
Search for cryptocurrencies by name or symbol.

Example:
```bash
python3 scripts/crypto-price.py search bitcoin
# Output: BTC - Bitcoin, ID: bitcoin
```

### `get <coin_id> [currency]`
Get price for a specific cryptocurrency.

- `coin_id`: The CoinGecko ID (e.g., bitcoin, ethereum, solana)
- `currency`: Optional, defaults to 'usd'. Supported: usd, cny, eur, jpy, gbp, krw, etc.

Example:
```bash
python3 scripts/crypto-price.py get bitcoin cny

## Finding Coin IDs

# Output: BNB - BNB, ID: binancecoin
```

Popular coin IDs:
