Crypto Tracker

Track cryptocurrency prices, set price/percentage alerts, and search coins using the free CoinGecko API (no API key required).

Quick Commands

Check Prices

# Single coin
uv run {baseDir}/scripts/crypto.py price bitcoin

# Multiple coins
uv run {baseDir}/scripts/crypto.py price bitcoin ethereum solana

# With more details (market cap, volume)
uv run {baseDir}/scripts/crypto.py price bitcoin --detailed

Search Coins

# Find coin ID by name/symbol
uv run {baseDir}/scripts/crypto.py search doge
uv run {baseDir}/scripts/crypto.py search cardano

Manage Alerts

# Set price threshold alert
uv run {baseDir}/scripts/crypto.py alert <user_id> bitcoin above 100000
uv run {baseDir}/scripts/crypto.py alert <user_id> ethereum below 3000

# Set percentage change alert (24h)
uv run {baseDir}/scripts/crypto.py alert <user_id> bitcoin change 5    # ±5%
uv run {baseDir}/scripts/crypto.py alert <user_id> solana drop 10      # -10%
uv run {baseDir}/scripts/crypto.py alert <user_id> ethereum rise 15    # +15%

# List user's alerts
uv run {baseDir}/scripts/crypto.py alerts <user_id>

# Remove an alert
uv run {baseDir}/scripts/crypto.py alert-rm <alert_id>

# Check all alerts (for cron/heartbeat)
uv run {baseDir}/scripts/crypto.py check-alerts

Cron Integration

Check alerts periodically (e.g., every 15 minutes):

uv run {baseDir}/scripts/crypto.py check-alerts --json-output

Returns triggered alerts with user IDs for notification.

Data Storage

Alerts stored in {baseDir}/data/alerts.json with:

  • Per-user alert tracking
  • Cooldown between repeat notifications (default: 1 hour)
  • Last triggered timestamp

Notes

  • CoinGecko free tier: ~10-30 requests/minute (no API key needed)
  • 15,000+ coins supported
  • Use --json-output flag for machine-readable output
