Hello,

Damn, for which displayed currency? USD, EUR, etc.

[YanDevDe]

I'm using EUR! First cryptocurrency which it should appear is BTC and I'm getting this error.

[YanDevDe]

I have 4 cryptocurrency code, FYI!

Damn, I just updated the app. Hope it will fixed it. We have to wait a couple of minutes to get back to normal.

[YanDevDe]

Gotcha, will let you know in one hour! Thank you so much for the quick reply and fix lol!

[YanDevDe]

Looks like it worked! :) Fantastic - Thank you @pgrimaud!

[pgrimaud]

Hope it will work for a long times 😥

Rate Limiter has appeared again. 🥲 - Where does Rate Limiter happens? Is the MarketCap API being called per User or per LaMetric's "Server"?

[pgrimaud]

It's for every users

[YanDevDe]

May want to checkout at coingecko.com - they have much friendlier API & Rate Limiter! Just an idea 😄

[pgrimaud]

Good idea, I will add an option into the app to select data provider (CoinMarketCap or CoinGecko).

It will decrease API calls to CMC and balance into the two data providers.

What do you think about it?

[YanDevDe]

Actually that's an interesting idea! I'm not quite sure how much work it would be - but selecting data providers individually by cryptocurrency could be interesting too?

I only know that I didn't had issue by using CoinGecko for our own software. It's also being called per users. But with CoinMarketCap they were way more stricter so I just gave up on them lol.

[pgrimaud]

IMHO, data providers will be select for all currencies selected on the app.

We switched to Coingecko, so no more rate limit 🎉
