Crypto currencies are getting more popular and while working with them I have written a reusable library.
The library cryptocurrencydata is licensed under MIT license.
It is written in Go (lang) my choice of code and work environment at the time.
The state of library is for production. And I hope it might be useful for some folks.
The library is able to not only provide you with current details, it is also able to receive historical data for currencies.
The way it is written, you can easy plug it into you current Go program/ Microservice.
As an example to receive the current US Dollar value of certain currencies you can just call the library by one call:
d, err := cryptocurrencydata.PriceUSDByIDs([]string{"bitcoin", "ethereum", "skycoin"})
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("%v", err)
}
for _, v := range d {
fmt.Printf("%-10s \t $%.2f\n", v.ID, v.Value)
}This will get you the output of the following:
# GetPriceUSDByCurrencyIDs
bitcoin $10638.00
ethereum $787.79
skycoin $14.02If you wish to get all details you can also get all details:
d, err := cryptocurrencydata.GetCurrencyDataByIDs([]string{"bitcoin", "ethereum", "skycoin"})
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("%v", err)
}
for _, v := range d {
fmt.Printf("%v\n", v)
}This will get you the output of the following:
{bitcoin Bitcoin BTC 1 10638 1 6.91178e+09 1.79837645256e+11 1.6905212e+07 1.6905212e+07 2.1e+07 0.55 -3.61 -0.32 2018-03-07 11:39:26 +0000 UTC}

d, err := cryptocurrencydata.GetCurrencyHistoryByCurrencyID("skycoin")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("%v", err)
}
for _, v := range d {
fmt.Printf("timestamp %v timeUTC: %v MarketSupply: %d PriceUSD: $%.2f PriceBTC: $%.2f VolUSD: $%d\n", v.Timestamp, v.TimeUTC, v.MarketSupply, v.PriceUSD, v.PriceBTC, v.VolUSD)
}This will get you the output of the following:
