Cryptocompare

Goal

As a developer, I want to use Cryptocompare API to create new datasets, so that I can find correlations for price movements of cryptocurrency.

How To

• Consider using requests library to pull data via Cryptocompare API, which allows for the following requests:

1. CoinList
2. Price
3. PriceHistorical
4. CoinSnapshot
5. CoinSnapshotFullByID
6. Social Stats
7. HistoMinute
8. HistoHour
9. HistoDay
10. MiningContracts
11. MiningEquipment
12. TopPairs

• Consider using stefs304's cryCompare library, which currently supports:

1. CoinList
2. Price
3. PriceMulti
4. PriceMultiFull
5. PriceHistorical
6. CoinSnapshot
7. CoinSnapshotFullById
8. HistoMinute
9. HistoHour
10. HistoDay

• Consider using lagerfeuer's cryptocompare library, which currently supports:

1. Coin List
2. Price
3. Historical Price
4. Day
5. Hour
6. Average
7. Exchanges

• Consider using ttsteiger's cryptocompy library, which currently supports:

1. CoinList
2. CoinSnapshot
3. MiningContracts
4. MiningEquipment
5. Exchanges
6. Volumes
7. Pairs
8. Minute
9. Hour
10. Day

• Consider focusing on Cryptocompare's SocialStats, which supports:

1. Twitter
2. Reddit
3. Facebook
4. Github

Here is an example of a returned response for Social Stats:

Inspiration

Thanks to @agalea91 for introducing me to Cryptocompare

[slavakurilyak]

As per my suggestion, stefs304 updated cryCompare to include more API calls:

1. CoinList
2. Price
3. PriceMulti
4. PriceMultiFull
5. PriceHistorical
6. GenerateAvg
7. DayAvg
8. CoinSnapshot
9. CoinSnapshotFullById
10. HistoMinute
11. HistoHour
12. HistoDay
13. TopPairs (part of price module)
14. SocialStats (part of social module)
15. MiningEquipment (part of social module)

It's time to implement Cryptocompare's SocialStats!

@treethought Let's implement Cryptocompare's SocialStats (see cryCompare), which can be used by @bukosabino as features for machine learning (#80). This dataset is quite unique since it allows us to see social statistics for any cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin social statistics include:

• Twitter: https://twitter.com/bitcoin
• Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoin/
• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bitcoins/
• Github: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin
