Simple Bitcoin Tracker

Post by Deofol »

Hey, fellas! I know I've been lost for a while and still got work to do on my skin for this topic: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=34754 but I'd like to share with you a skin that I got distracted with while doing that. I made a simple bitcoin tracker as I often get paid in Bitcoin for my work. Here's a screenshot of it:
Image
It uses bitstamp.net's API to retrieve values. Now, onto the features, here is what it does:
  • Gets Bitcoin price automatically every #Seconds# seconds (#Seconds# is a Variable you must change by yourself depending on how often you want the skin to update. Default value is 60).
  • Indicates if Bitcoin rose or fell since last update with a green or red arrow.
  • Shows max and min 24H values in green and red respectively to the left of the current price
  • Shows a line graph in the background as a reference from the time you start running the skin. Every pixel it moves is #Seconds# seconds away from the next one. May be adding scaling in the future.
  • Graph changes color to green if price grows over 24H high and red if price grows over 24H low.
  • Force refresh on middle mouse button click.
It's my first release ever and I put some effort into it. Might be releasing a bigger skin sometime but for now I think this is worth sharing :). Here's the code to it:

The whole site the skin is using (https://www.bitstamp.net/) is under maintenance currently:

They've changed the ticker so to have it work again adapt the [MeasureParent] by replacing the existing RegExp=... by the following:

Code: Select all

RegExp=(?siU)"last":\s*"(.*)".*"bid":\s*"(.*)".*high":\s*"(.*)".*low":\s*"(.*)"
and the StringIndex of the following measures by replacing those measures by the following:

Code: Select all

[MeasurePrice]
Measure=WebParser
URL=[MeasureParent]
StringIndex=2

[MeasureLast]
Measure=WebParser
URL=[MeasureParent]
StringIndex=1

[MeasureLow]
Measure=WebParser
URL=[MeasureParent]
StringIndex=4

[MeasureHigh]
Measure=WebParser
URL=[MeasureParent]
StringIndex=3
Edit: the json that you get with the ticker looks as follows:

Code: Select all

{"volume": "3769.76512605", "last": "11367.49", "timestamp": "1598509333", "bid": "11366.88", "vwap": "11397.23", "high": "11549.80", "low": "11250.14", "ask": "11371.47", "open": 11462.91}

With the changes to the RegExp and the StringIndex numbers, the skin works for me.
Here is a working code; I changed the refresh to only refresh this skin and added 0.0001 to eliminate division by zero error.
