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.

// 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

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

High Setting (4-6)

API Considerations
