Crypto-Scraper

Web Scraping is a useful method to fetch the latest data from the web which you can, later on, implement in a RESTful API. Then, we’ll use this API to retrieve and study data easily. You can develop this in either Python or Node.js

WHAT We HAVE TO MAKE:

➔ Cryptocurrency API

where the end-user get’s the latest result of the value of most of the cryptocurrencies.

➔ Site:

https://goldprice.org/cryptocurrency-price or any other crypto list site which you prefer.

➔ What features should the API have?

◆ all: on requesting ‘all’, the end-user should get all the data i.e., data of all cryptocurrencies values in one JSON

◆ : for example ethereum then the end-user should get the data regarding ethereum only.

➔ URL Format?

◆ Python

● <your-ip>/api/all (for all data)
  
● <your-ip>/api/crypto?req=<crypto-name> (for specific crypto
  regarding data)

◆ Node.js

● <your-ip>/api/all (for all data)

● <your-ip>/api/crypto/<crypto-name> (for specific crypto regarding
  data)
