I'm learning Python and solidity and I just discovered you channel sir. It is amazing and packed with valuable information.
I want to extract the new coins listed on coingecko sorted by volume and on what exchange its tradable. So I could sort for example to show only tradeable on Kucoin or Binance.
Is that possible with the coingecko API ? and if so, could you give me any direction on how I should start at it ?

Many thanks for your good work :-)
