Simple script for tracking daily changes in crypto assets.
This script will continuously run and will generate and updated a csv file with prices for your crypto assets over time.
This used python 3 so you might need to use the command python3 CryptoTracker.py. You will also need to create a config json file and add it to the directory.
Or you can specify the config file path when running the script like so python3 CryptoTracker ~/YOUR_DIR/SOME_CONFIG_FILE.json
If you don't specify a config file this script expect to have a Config.json file in the same directory. This is what data it expects:
"key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
"crypto": {
"ETH": 4.123,
"BTC": 20.88,
"LINK": 13.82,
"LTC": 213
},
"frequency_seconds": 246060
}
The API key is for pro-api.coinmarketcap.com. You can get one for free.
'crypto` is a dictionary with crypto abbreviation and your holding amount for that asset as the key value pairs. The script expects the crypto asset abbreviations to be capitalized.
The frequency_seconds is how often you want it to check prices and write to the csv file.
