How to get HIVE and HBD prices from API with PHP
Hello guys!, I was looking for a way to get the prices of $HIVE and $HBD via API in PHP for my startup https://cubees.xyz.
I never found anything (maybe I don't ask in the right place, but isn't matter now). Then I found a way to do it with a Simple Request link from the cryptocompare.com API.
But I don't have many skills on development and the response became in a nested array ({"USD":0.5599}) that I needed to decode. So, I tried and tried, and finally I achieve it.
So, if someone were looking for something similar, they can try this code:
<?php
$url_hive = 'https://min-api.cryptocompare.com/data/price?fsym=HIVE&tsyms=USD'; //URL with a request
$url_hbd = 'https://min-api.cryptocompare.com/data/price?fsym=HBD&tsyms=USD';
$hiveprice = json_decode(file_get_contents($url_hive), true); //Decoding returned json object
$hbdprice = json_decode(file_get_contents($url_hbd), true);
foreach($hiveprice as $a){ //Saving the array nested info to a variable
echo '<div>'.'<b>HIVE: '.'</b>'.'$';
print_r($a);
echo '</div>';
echo ' ';
}
foreach($hbdprice as $b){
echo '<div>'.'<b>HBD: '.'</b>'.'$';
print_r($b);
}
echo '</div>';
?>
OUTPUT
You can also try the @coingecko one:
HIVE: https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/simple/price?ids=hive&vs_currencies=usd
HBD: https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/simple/price?ids=hive_dollar&vs_currencies=usd
I know there are many ways to do this with plug-ins, frameworks, etc. But maybe it can help someone.

Programming is mind blowing 😋😋😂😂
😅😅 yes
Would love to learn
Just preparing to get a system, the i will learn
I recommend you start with JavaScript or Python 😊
Yea i already did with my phone using pydriod 3, although I don't really enjoy it
System would do better
Yes is too dificult in a phone, you need to try in a PC, for python you just need a dualcore microprocessor and 2gb of ram.
Yeah
I'm trying to save some HBD to get one for myself

Nice piece of code. One suggestion, you could try out is that you don't need to use 2
foreach
loops.json_decode
when set toTRUE
returns an associative array. So you can just call the index of the array. Like:And it will display just like the loops. Happy coding!
Oh, thanks that’s simplify it a lot!!
