A few days ago, I posted (https://steemit.com/cyrptocurrency/@hmushtaq/my-program-to-show-the-total-worth-of-all-your-cryptos-combined-with-a-better-user-interface) improvements of the python script I wrote for finding the total value of all your cryptos combined. The script can be found at https://github.com/HamidMushtaq/steemtools/tree/master/coinsworth_html.
Since then I have made quite a few improvements, which are described below.
Improved the GUI
I improved the GUI. Firstly, I display a fancier table. Secondly, the coins' names now are basically hyperlinks to those coins' information on the coinmarketcap website. In this way, if you want to have more information about a coin, you can just go to that coin's site by clicking on the name. Lastly, I also show the changes in coins' value in the last hour and last 24 hours. The output with the example input file coins.txt is shown below.
Now you can select a different reference currency
If you look at the example input file coins.txt, you would notice the first line to be currency=eur. Here we are telling that we want to show all the currency values in euros rather than US dollars. Previously, you could only see currency values in US dollars.
There is no need to install coinmarketcap python api
Previously, since in our program, we used the coinmarketcap python api, you had to have it first installed, to be able to use this script. But I've modified the program so that it doesn't need to use that api anymore. Now I just use the REST APIs from coinmarketcap and parse the json output.
I hope you'll find this script useful, and if you have any suggestions to improve this script, kindly let me know.
