CoinGeckgo prices

A basic FastAPI application with Redis to cache the query results.

Requirements

• Docker

Local run

Export some environment variables:

export REDIS_PORT=6379 export REDIS_HOST=localhost export REDIS_DB=0 CACHE_EXPIRATION_TIME=500 default value: 300

For "production usage", use a password: export REDIS_PASSEWORD=youpasswordhere

Run the redis container

docker run -d --name redis --env REDIS_PASSWORD -p 6379:6379 redis

If you want to have an "advanced interface" to watch the cache, use redis-stack:

docker run -d --name redis -p 6379:6379 -p 8001:8001 --env redis/redis-stack:latest

Run the python app

docker pull ghcr.io/charlesjudith/get-crypto-prices:0.0.7

docker run --env REDIS_HOST --env REDIS_PORT --env REDIS_DB --env REDIS_PASSWORD --env CACHE_EXPIRATION_TIME -p 8000:8000 ghcr.io/charlesjudith/get-crypto-prices:0.0.7

Check the API doc: http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs

Use the API: http://127.0.0.1:8000/price?symbols=cosmos&currency=usd

Price on the last 24 hours is sent by default:

{"cosmos":{"usd":7.13,"usd_24h_change":3.6971000822019406}}

For Kubernetes deployment, there's an Helm chart: https://github.com/StakeLab-Zone/StakeLab/tree/main/Charts/coingecko-api
