bitcoin-price-notifications

This project follows the tutorial from this post.

There was this problem with the API key, but this post helped.

There is also postman native apps or the CURL command line command.

The corresponding curl command is:

curl -G -X GET \
--header "Accept:application/json" \
--header "X-CMC_PRO_API_KEY:REPLACE_WITH_PRIVATE_API_KEY" \
https://pro-api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/cryptocurrency/quotes/latest \
-d "slug=bitcoin" \
-d "convert=USD"

# or
curl -G -X GET \
--header "Accept:application/json" \
--header "X-CMC_PRO_API_KEY:REPLACE_WITH_PRIVATE_API_KEY" \
https://pro-api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/cryptocurrency/quotes/latest?slug=bitcoin&convert=USD

# -G: to allow the use of -d arguemnts
# -X: to specify the type of request
# --header: to pass different headers
# -d: to set the arguemnts (could also append the url with "?slug=bitcoin&convert=USD")

In order to make the whole backend quickly, use swagger JSON example. It's about the tools and how to use them, not about what we learn. Software engineering is a lie. If I want now, I can build the app. The problem is being smart to find something cool to build. Or something smart.
