Cryptocurrency Price Alert

Sends an Alert Email as soon as your Cryptocurrency hits a trigger price.

Why was it needed?

Due to the highly volatile nature of Cryptocurrencies this script comes in handy when you're day trading.
India's Top cypto exchange "WazirX" lacks this feature where you can set a Trigger Price for your favourite cryptocurrency.
This script helps in timing the market and taking decisions accordingly.

Prerequisites

1. An account on Binance.com.
2. Binance API Key and API Secret Key.
3. Follow this video for help regarding the above mentioned point.
4. A working dummy email ID.

How to use?

1. The best way to use my script is to firstly clone the git repo where you want to.
2. Go to keys.py and enter your Binance API key and Secret Key next to the corresponding variables.
3. Enter your dummy email account details in keys.py.
4. Go to main.py and run it.
5. Enter the Crypto of your choice and set the Trigger Price.

Optional: If you want a live price chart to be displayed as well, please run "withliveplot.py" instead of "main.py" in step (4)

What happens behind the scene?

1. This script fetches the price of the crypto via the Binance API every 3 seconds.
2. As soon as the current price becomes less than or equal to the Alert price, this script sends an email alert to the user's main email.
