Get Alerts for Your Crypto Investments

Overview

Allows you to monitor the returns on your coin investments with an alerts via Telegram. Further alert senders can be implemented as well.

Installation

Note: Currently this tool is only available for Mac or Linux users.

1. Clone this repo.

2. pip install pycoingecko

3. pip install etherscan-python (Go to https://etherscan.io/, sign up and get your API key).

4. Create a environment variable called INITIAL_INVESTMENTS. Each line in this variable should contain the id of the coin you are interested to monitor followed by a single space followed by the initial price you bought this coin for (price per 1 coin).

   • If you're not sure about the id of your coin you should check at coingecko's API - i.e.:

   curl -X 'GET' 'https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/coins/list' -H 'accept: application/json'
   

5. For using telegram:

   • Check out this link and get a token.
   • Get the chat_id by writing something in the chat of your new bot and then visit https://api.telegram.org/bot<YourBOTToken>/getUpdates and get the chat_id under the key mesasge['chat']['id']
   • Add a configuration environment variable with a yml structure, you can see an example in the tests/data/correct_config.yml file. You need to add the bot you implemented with the abstract methods in the backend/interfaces folder and it's corresponding API key and chat ID of the Telegram chat you want the messages to be sent to.

Usage

The main purpose of this tool is for scheduling a cron-job on an always available instance (i.e., server). The usage is simple: python cci.py <BOT NAME>.
