could you update your module accordingly?
thank you.

Hi, you may want to consider our public open API at https://www.coingecko.com/api

Its simple to call for example https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/coins/bitcoin

We support plenty of endpoints to access various metrics. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

@fernandobender Thanks for bringing it to my attention πŸ‘
Here we are using coinmarketcap API only for getting the coin id, we can also get that from this page https://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all, I did POC on this and seems to be working fine.
Let me know if there any other better way of getting coin id(s).

@tmlee Thanks for suggesting your APIs, looks promising 🍰, We can integrate it in future as well. ✨

No, will have to update the code which fetches the coin id(s). So instead of fetching it via API, we can scrape it from https://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all. I will make necessary changes ASAP.
