portfolio-tracker-cli
CLI utility to track your cryptocurrency portfolio in real-time using CryptoCompare streamer (websocket) API. Saves ticker prices & balances to text files.
My goal when creating this software was to track balances of a few crypto experiments and get crypto tickers in i3-wm status bar.
Note: you have to register for a free cryptocompare.com API key to use this: https://www.cryptocompare.com/cryptopian/api-keys
Example usage
Below commands are run from this examples/ directory.
$ npm install -g portfolio-tracker-cli
$ cat portfolio1.json
{
"BTC": {
"wallets": [ { "total": 1 } ]
},
"ETH": {
"wallets": [ { "total": 10 } ]
},
"DOGE": {
"wallets": [ { "total": 1000 } ]
}
}

# Portfolio tracker stays connected to cryptocompare api and periodically writes data to file.
# Press ctrl-c or send SIGTERM to close.
# Let's check those periodically updated stats:
$ cat portfolio-stats/portfolio1.stats.json
{
"currency": "USD",
"balance": 25466.60129,
"tickers": [
"BTC$19378",
"DOGE$0.004",
"ETH$608"
],
"summary": [
{
"coin": "BTC",
"coin_balance": 1,
"currency": "USD",
"price": 19378,
"balance": 19378
},
{

}
]
}
# Now we use an environment variable instead of the api-key.json file and save
# plain text stats instead of JSON.
$ export CRYPTOCOMPARE_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
