Crypto Price Tracker

A Discord Bot that tracks crypto using the CoinGecko API

• Fetches coin price every 60 seconds and sets it as its nickname in each server

Features

• Automatically changes nickname in each server to match live price (from CoinGecko API)
• Multiple instances can be run through just one app

Installation

1. Download Zip file from github and unzip (or use the command line)

  git clone https://github.com/ALEXA8596/CryptoTracker
  cd CryptoTracker

2. Install Dependencies

  npm install

3. Rename config.example.json to config.json and input your discord token for each coin

{
    "coinName": {
        "token": "discord token of bot"
    },
    "coinName2": {
        "token": "discord token of bot"
    }
}

4. Run

  node index.js

Configuration

• You are able to customize the coins that are tracked through this app
• Add or delete specific coins to the config.json file
• Format:

{
    "coinName": {
        "token": "token"
    }
}

• replace "coinName" with the coin's name found here and "token" with the discord bot token
  • Ex: $USDT is referenced as "tether" in the coin gecko api, so the config would look like this:

  {
      "tether": {
          "token": "discord token"
      }
  }
