Inspiration
I wanted to make a project where I get crypto price alerts on the ago and also get custom alerts if the price goes down below a certain threshold and trigger an auto-buy by using my exchange's API. This bit is a smaller part of the future scope.
What it does
Alerts the user on discord by push notification to user's server using a webhook.
How we built it
Using python and rest API from my exchange provider and a cron job that triggers the script every hour.
Challenges we ran into
Handling the JSON response
Accomplishments that we're proud of
A quick nifty solution that has a good future scope and takes very little time to set up.
What we learned
Setting up discord webhooks, handling rest API responses in python and setting up cron jobs using crontab
What's next for Automate a Daily Task - Crypto Price Alerts
As mentioned, the future scope includes triggering auto buy or auto sell using the exchange's API if the price crosses a certain threshold.
