Solution Document - Crypto Exchanges data Dashboard

Dashboard

Problem Statement

  • As a person interested in investing in cryptocurrencies, I would like to know about the various exchanges that I can use to buy/sell cryptocurrencies

APIs used:

  • API Provider - CoinGecko API V3 (3.0.0) Link

  • Endpoint - /exchanges

Solution Steps

  1. Define the dataframe structure where you want to store the data before plotting it on the dashboard
    df_exchanges_data = pd.DataFrame(columns=['Rank', 'Logo', 'ID', 'Name', 'URL', 'trade_volume_24h_btc'], index=None)
  1. 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/exchanges"
    exc_data_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
