Title: Alt Coins API Post by: randayh on November 20, 2013, 03:40:58 AM I am currently writing a php script to updated the current price of USD/BTC in my www.bitcoins4barter.com shopping cart database. However, I want to start adding more altcoins to the payment method. I'm starting to go a little crazy trying to get the feed to work on other altcoins
1LTC bounty to anyone that can rewrite this following code to include LTC and ZET for the update. #! /usr/bin/php <?php $url = "https://bitpay.com/api/rates"; $json = file_get_contents($url); $data = json_decode($json, TRUE); $rate = $data[0]["rate"]; $usd_price = 1; $bitcoin_price = round( $usd_price / $rate , 8 ); $host="localhost"; // Host name $username="mydatabase"; // Mysql username $password="mypasswrd"; // Mysql password $db_name="database"; // Database name $tbl_name="currencies"; // Table name mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB"); $sql="UPDATE $tbl_name SET value='$bitcoin_price' WHERE title='Bitcoin (BTC)'"; $result=mysql_query($sql); if($result){ echo "Successful"; } else { echo "ERROR"; } ?> |
