Hello Gecko!
I use your API and I can see from the code-perspective, you are very nice, well-intentioned people. We *do* have to do some maths & thinking for developing an API interface, and I really had a great time in the last two months doing it for Gecko! The Web interface is great, too, I love the stylish Mascot and the colours... AND it is also great to grep results from the Terminal! I am very grateful for Gecko, we leave the data analysis for you guys!
The strong Economics background of the Founders gives me plenty confidence about data quality. I really had to come in and say how greatly appreciated your hard work is!
Now, for the Community, if you guys use Bash, you may want to check this Script i wrote for getting all sorts of currency conversion rates (even for central bank currency rates) from Gecko.
My GitHub repo ( mountaineerbr ):
https://github.com/mountaineerbr/marketsLook for '
cgk.sh' and run it with "-h" for Help lines. But basically, the syntax for
getting rates is as follows:
#Officially supported markets/pairs:
$ cgk.sh btc cad #One Bitcoin in Canadian Dollars
$ cgk.sh 1000 xrp btc #One thousand Ripples in Bitcoin
#Central Bank currency rates:
$ cgk.sh -b 1 usd jpy #One US Dollar in Japanese Yen
# Summary Crypto Market Cap Stats:
$ cgk.sh -m
It is Free Software under the GPL. You also need cURL and jq to run it properly.
Hopefully it is useful for some people!
Cheers!
