CryptoPrice Api

CryptoPrice Api allows you to query cached currency exchange rates from the following digital currency markets:

• coinmarketcap.com
• kraken.com
• coinbase.com

Example Testsetup

1. Request api keys from coinmarketcap.com and kraken.com.
2. Copy .env.example file to .env and setup the following entries
   • DB_PASSWORD: random secure password
   • COINMARKETCAP_TOKEN: Your Coinmarketcap.com API Token
   • KRAKEN_API_KEY: Your Kraken.com Api Token
   • KRAKEN_SECRET_KEY: Your Kraken.com Secret Key
3. Run docker-compose -f docker-compose-example.yml up to start and build your containers stack
4. Every 30 minutes exchange rates are queried and refreshed via cronjobs, to prefill your database use the following commands:
   • Obtain container id by querying docker via docker ps and look for the image name lampsolutions/cryptoprice:0.1
   • Run docker exec <container id> /usr/bin/php /app/artisan coinmarketcap:cron
   • Run docker exec <container id> /usr/bin/php /app/artisan coinbase:cron
   • Run docker exec <container id> /usr/bin/php /app/artisan kraken:cron
5. You should now be able to query the api via http://localhost:8080/api/v1/calculate-exchange?amount=333&origin=USD&destination=BTC&api=coinmarketcap.com
