Bitcoin Prices

Final Bitcoin prices repo with data package automated to update the data daily.

https://www.coindesk.com/price/ - generates .csv, but restricted by the terms of use, quote,

Can't find any legal on this website. Will write script and do Github repo for it.

Here's GitHub repo with the script for this source and received data.

Need advice though on how to workaround data validation error - .csv in archive directory has bad values in the last rows on the column 'Volume". One solution is to request the data from the website only for the dates with valid values, but probably this error might be ignored (since final data is valid and got no errors).

@Branko-Dj can we get this dataset published?

@anuveyatsu what happened here? There's no update and sprint completed.

So I scraped cryptocurrency data from a different website coinmetrics.io. Data can be found at https://datahub.io/cryptocurrency

@Branko-Dj can we add views to the datasets? Nice time series graphs would be great here I think. Once that's done, think we can close this one

[Branko-Dj]

@zelima Yes I think that will be nice. I will add some views for better look

[zelima]

@Branko-Dj where this dataset lives on GitHub can't find under datasets organization https://github.com/datasets/bitcoin-prices.

Is it still under @otruja , if so @otruja could you please transfer ownership so that I can do modifications to it and re-publish

[rufuspollock]

@zelima what is happening here? If necessary just clone the original repo and push directly to github.com/datasets ...

[Branko-Dj]

I am currently working on this
