# Maximum Results Guide

## Understanding MaxResults Settings

### What is MaxResults?

MaxResults controls how many alternative coins are displayed when multiple matches are found for a cryptocurrency symbol or name.

```javascript
// Example: Searching for "PEPE" might return:
{
    "PEPE": [
        { name: "Pepe", rank: 523, ... },          // Main PEPE token
        { name: "Pepe Coin BSC", rank: 1247, ... }, // Alternative
        { name: "Arbi Pepe", rank: 1892, ... },    // Alternative
        { name: "Based Pepe", rank: 2341, ... }    // Alternative
    ]
}
```

### Slider Configuration

* Range: 2-6 results
* Default: 2 results
* Adjustable: Real-time via popup slider

### How It Works

#### Ranking System:

* Results are sorted by market rank
* Lower rank = higher priority
* Top-N results shown (N = MaxResults setting)

#### Display Priority:

* Primary tokens shown first
* Alternative versions follow
* Sorted by market capitalization

## Use Cases

### **Low Setting (2-3)**

#### Best for:

* Clean interface
* Main tokens only
* Reduced API usage
* Mobile viewing

### **High Setting (4-6)**

#### Best for:

* Alternative token discovery
* Detailed market research
* Finding similar tokens
* Desktop viewing

### API Considerations

#### CoinMarketCap API:

* Higher limits allow more results
* Better for high MaxResults settings
* More detailed token information

#### CoinPaprika API:

* Limited to 60 requests/hour
* Consider lower MaxResults
* Conserve API calls

### Real-World Examples

```
Search: "BTC"
MaxResults: 2
→ Shows: Bitcoin, Bitcoin BEP2

Search: "PEPE"
MaxResults: 4
→ Shows: Pepe, PepePad, Pepe BSC, Arbi Pepe

Search: "ETH"
MaxResults: 6
→ Shows: Ethereum + top 5 ETH-named tokens
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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://cryptoman-1.gitbook.io/cryptoman-docs/settings/maximum-results.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.
