Crypto Alert

This is an app to auto monitor your coin and automate purchases using coinmarketcap

1. Fork the Repo

Fork this repo and create your own repo to work with. Forking a Repo

2. Install dependencies w/ Pipenv

We'll be using pipenv to handle this, you can install it:

pip3 install pipenv

Once you have pipenv, run the following:

pipenv install --dev

3. Obtain API Keys

I'm using the 2 following apps for API's:

1. Coinmarketcap API
2. IFTTT
   • This one is a little tricky to setup. Maybe I'll provide cleaner documentation on how to do this later.

4. Create your key files

Create 2 files "coinmarketcap.key" & "ifttt.key"

Using terminal:

    touch coinmarketcap.key
    touch ifttt.key

copy & paste your respective keys into each file.

note:

I'm using a .gitignore for all *.key files and I suggest you do the same to protect your API keys (However it should be included when you fork)

5. Running your code

The script is currently configured to run 1 time. You can modify it to run forever with a delay between messages.

python3 crypto.py

Future Ideas
