₿ A Human–Friendly API Service for Crypto Currency Information.

Software is beautiful. I love writing code with Python. Here are some of my creations:

• httpbin.org: A helpful request / response service, powered by Flask.
• requests: An elegant and simple HTTP library for Python, built for human beings.
• requests-html: Scraping the web as simply and intuitively as possible.
• pipenv: A tool that aims to bring the best of all packaging worlds to the Python world.
• responder: Experimental asynchronous web framework with novel concepts & customer ideas.
• records: A simple & powerful library for making raw SQL queries to most relational databases.
• maya: A UTC-first datetime library that enforces best practices and eases cognitive overhead.
• pep8.org: An easier-to-parse presentation of the PEP 8 style guide for Python code.
• tablib: A format-agnostic tabular dataset library for Python
• The Hitchhiker's Guide to Python (repo).

coinbin.org's Issues

Old data

Looks like it has some old data and is not updated yet with some of the data during the times it was down.

coinbin.org is down

:(

What is the source of the data?

Hello,

Thank you for an awesome project. I wonder what is the source of your real-time price data?

It would be really helpful for me knowing what the source is as the accuracy of the price data matters a lot of the project I am working on at the moment.

Thank you!

Readme is titled "₿ Coinhub.org" when the actual location of the service is coinbin.org

Is it a typo? Thanks!

Forking banner overtakes the page and is blurry on mobile

The screenshot should be fairly self-explanatory:

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here are two thousand words:

Make /coins return more data

coin names, current price, potentially

Couting coins

Hi,
Was doing some tests when I noticed something intresting:

Total coins returned by coinbin.org/coins: 867
Running "get_coins()" code localy: 871
Coinmarketcap webpage coins list: 871

Tested coinbin.org/coins from different ip addresses. Same result for all of them.

500 converting to / from unknown currencies

Hey, great service guys, wonderful way to explore crypto currencies!

I've found some 500 errors:

• https://coinbin.org/lbc/to/usd
• https://coinbin.org/lbc/to/asd

Never used pyton before, I imagine this would be an easy fix though,
so if you can give me some guideline here I might be able to do it myself. 👍

List/Select coin(s) using specific currency code

This is an improvement that might be very useful in a global range:
List coin(s) specifying currency code directly into the URL. Something like:

• coinbin.org/coins/$/< currency > i.e. coinbin.org/coins/$/EUR
• coinbin.org/< coin >/$/< currency > i.e. coinbin.org/btc/$/BRL

I've been testing arround with the source code. Managed to add these two new links behaviors but few things regarding compatibility and code readability concerns me.

If you think this could be a plus we can continue with the subject.

coinbin.org is down with an Internal Server Error

Hi, just giving you a heads up that the site appears to be down. I'm getting this on both my laptop and my phone:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.

CORS Error

Hi @kennethreitz , thanks for all the great work on this resource!

I'm getting the following CORS error when I try to fetch the API within an Angular application.

Failed to load https://coinbin.org/btc: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:8100' is therefore not allowed access.

AFAIK, this can be solved by you setting the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header.
