Crypto Status Bot

May 21, 2024 at 13:26

Linux Mint has a taskbar applet that keeps track of crypto investments, allowing me to keep track of the price of Doge from the corner of my eye. This is fine for what it is, but it’s clearly not informative enough. So I wrote a bot that pings my crypto portfolio into a Slack channel every morning. It goes a little something like this:

crypto_bot.py

    import requests
    import json
    from urllib import request, parse
    from slack_lib.py import send_message_to_slack

    def get_crypto_data(cryptos):
        #limited to 30 calls/min, 10k/mo.
        url = "https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/simple/price"
        params = {
            "ids": ",".join(cryptos),
            "vs_currencies": "usd",
            "include_24hr_change": "true"
        }
        
        response = requests.get(url, params=params)
        
        if response.status_code == 200:
            return response.json()
        else:
            return None

    def format_price(crypto, price):
        if crypto in ["bitcoin", "ethereum"]:
            return f"${price:,.2f}"
        elif crypto == "dogecoin":
            return f"${price:.3f}"
        elif crypto == "shiba-inu":
            return f"${price:.6f}"

    # These are hardcoded values, but could easily pull from an external source if necessary
    def main():
        cryptos = ["bitcoin", "ethereum", "dogecoin", "shiba-inu"]
        quantities = {
            "bitcoin": 5.6789,
            "ethereum": 1.2345,
            "dogecoin": 34567,
            "shiba-inu": 123456789
        }
        
        crypto_data = get_crypto_data(cryptos)
        
        if crypto_data:
            total_current_value = 0
            total_initial_value = 0
            total_percent_change = 0
            total_value_change = 0
            output = ""

            for crypto in cryptos:
                price = crypto_data[crypto]['usd']
                percent_change = crypto_data[crypto]['usd_24h_change']
                current_value = price * quantities[crypto]
                initial_value = current_value / (1 + percent_change / 100)
                value_change = current_value - initial_value
                
                total_current_value += current_value
                total_initial_value += initial_value
                total_percent_change += percent_change
                total_value_change += value_change
                
                formatted_price = format_price(crypto, price)
                #change the formatting however you see fit
                output += f"> *{crypto.capitalize()}:*  {percent_change:.2f}%   {formatted_price}   |   T: ${current_value:,.2f}   C: ${value_change:,.2f}\n"
            
            overall_percent_change = ((total_current_value - total_initial_value) / total_initial_value) * 100
            output += f"> *Total:  {overall_percent_change:.2f}%   T: ${total_current_value:,.2f}   C: ${total_value_change:,.2f}*"
            
            send_message_to_slack("🪙 *Crypto Bot* 💱\n" + output)
        else:
            print("Failed to retrieve data.")

    if __name__ == "__main__":
        main()
