Simple Bitcoin Tracker

[aakrusen]

Hi guys, my BTC ticker stopped working the other day and I cannot see why. The code I'm using is very similar to what's posted here, but I've modified to for visual changes. It seems like the ticker is not working, so I copied the same code listed here and override the code I have, just to make sure I did mess anything up, and the code here doesn't work either.
Where do I start to try and track down why my code and the code listed in this thread are not working?

Can you share your current code. Let's see what causes the problem

Can do!

The problem was caused by changing the sorting places in the incoming data.

Can you change the RegExp code below and try again?

Code: Select all

[MeasureParent]
.
.
.
RegExp=(?siU).*"high".*"(.*)".*"last".*"(.*)".*"bid".*"(.*)".*"low".*"(.*)"

And also if you are sharing a code, we would be glad if you could share it with the help of the Code Display button on the panel

Thanks for finding the error. I haven't touch the code since I set it up a long time ago, I'm wondering if Bitstamp changed the RegExp order and that's why it wasn't working?

Also, thanks for the heads up on the Code-Display thing. I'm new enough to this stuff that I didn't know how to post it in that manner, but I should be able to do it correctly next time!

Yes, the data from Bitstamp has changed.
Sorting on old incoming data: "last,bid,high,low"
RegExp was giving an error because the sorting in the new data was:"high, last, bid, low".

Also, thanks for the heads up on the Code-Display thing. I'm new enough to this stuff that I didn't know how to post it in that manner, but I should be able to do it correctly next time!

I'm having some trouble with my Bitcoin Tracker too.I've tried a few things already, but I'm still having issues. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions or has encountered a similar problem. I'm considering checking for updates or changes to the API that I'm using to pull the data for my tracker.The Moon Bitcoin website (https://www.moonbitcoins.com/dashboard) is another resource that I'm considering using to see if I can find any useful information or tools for troubleshooting my tracker.I'm hoping someone might have some ideas or suggestions that can help me. Thanks!

"Some trouble" doesn't tell us much... Can you add a detailed description of what "troubles" you are having?

revised the bitcoin tracking code with chat gpt 4 because it was not working, (not a coder) no api key needed or anything, no idea what I'm doing but it should ... maybe not keep breaking anymore with this code. essentially told chatgpt to load the page and have the code visualize the numbers and print them as text rather than whatever it was doing, seems to have gotten around the issue of it only displaying the first value, refreshes on a 60 second timer
