crypto-prices.py

A script that requests crypto prices from CoinGecko and writes them to a file in the format required by the Ledger CLI price history.

In order to know which crypto assets you hold, the script runs a ledger command that outputs a list of commodities. It also excludes fiat currencies (At the moment, this feature is hard-coded and only filters the ones that I use). Then it will search for matches among the top 500 cryptocurrencies (this is also hard-coded), get the prices, format the information, and write it to the output file.
