Consider CoinGecko API #1

Open tmlee opened 6 years ago

tmlee commented 6 years ago

Cofounder at CoinGecko.com here, may I suggest using our API https://www.coingecko.com/api instead of the need to use scrappy to crawl our site for data

chnsh commented 6 years ago

Yes, that's the first To-do. When I first made this, you guys did not have an API, and I had to resort to scraping.

By the way, coingecko is awesome!

tmlee commented 6 years ago

Thanks! Its finally here! :shipit: Do let us know if there is any problem you encounter while using the API and how we can help

chnsh commented 6 years ago

Definitely.

I'll implement it as soon as I find some time. I had this in private repositories since December. Finally, a Sunday helped me open source it. I'll let you know once it's done!

I glanced at the API, while it gives out comprehensive information (much more than what I get from the scraper), I could not find the summary stats (like liquidity, developer score, etc)

Do I need to compute the summary stats from the raw information? Also, is it possible to add it to the API?

Thanks for the feedback, we will add those information. Somehow left out
