cryptocompare

Install

npm install --save cryptocompare

Usage

Note: cryptocompare depends on fetch() being defined globally.

If you are using this in electron, it should work without any configuration.
If you are using this in Node.js, you will need to use node-fetch.
The package works without an API key but the IP limits will slowly be reduced over time, to create an API key just go to https://www.cryptocompare.com/cryptopian/api-keys and make sure you give it the "Read All Price Streaming and Polling Endpoints" permission

Example:
```
global.fetch = require('node-fetch')
const cc = require('cryptocompare')
cc.setApiKey('<your-api-key>')
```
