Inspiration The growing popularity of cryptocurrencies and the need for real-time price tracking inspired us to create the Crypto Market Tracker Plugin. With the volatility of crypto markets, staying updated is crucial for traders, investors, and enthusiasts. We wanted to provide a seamless, reliable tool that integrates directly into Hexabot, making market data easily accessible.

What it does The plugin fetches real-time cryptocurrency prices using the CoinGecko API. Users can specify the cryptocurrency and their preferred currency (e.g., USD, EUR) to receive instant pricing updates. It integrates directly with Hexabot’s messaging system, delivering live data effortlessly to users within the platform.

How we built it We built the plugin using NestJS as the framework for creating a robust backend and Axios for API communication. The CoinGecko API serves as the data source for cryptocurrency prices. The plugin is designed to integrate seamlessly with Hexabot, leveraging its messaging architecture for smooth data delivery.
