Solution Document - Crypto Updates Dashboard

Dashboard

Problem Statement

  • As a cryptocurrency investor I would like to be updated on the various announcements

APIs used:

  • API Provider - CoinGecko API V3 (3.0.0) Link

  • Endpoint - /status_updates

Solution Steps

  1. Define categories as a list and initialise it with the values 'general', 'software_release', 'milestone', 'exchange_listing'

  2. Using the request library in python, call the Get() method to receive the data in JSON format

    enpoint_url = f"https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/status_updates?category={cat}&project_type=coin&per_page=20&page=1"
    status_upd_json = api.get(enpoint_url).json()

  1. Do data cleansing, if there are any null values

  2. Populate the dataframe and return it to the calling .py file for plotting on the dashboard
