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

  • 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
