Bitcoin Forum

Hi,

I would like to compile some nice charts of my own of the exchange rates between the major currencies and BTC. So my question is if anybody knows where I would be able to download the FX data on a daily or weekly basis so it's workable in Excel?

I tried to find it on Blockchain.info but without success.

Any ideas?

Bitcoincharts.com (http://bitcoincharts.com) provides a "Load raw data" link along with its charts; it might not be in exactly the format you're envisioning, but it could be transformed with a little grepping.

That actually kind of works.

Thanks for the tip!

Glad to hear it -- you're very welcome!  :)

If you do not need historical data, but only wish to compile current data, you could build an API to automatically save the rate every x seconds to a spreadsheet.

Let me know if you had any success with this, I am searching for the same thing myself, last 2 days made a nice bit of profit with Ruby and Hyper exchanging them between 2 exchanges but it was a tiring process, if one is able to see current of different currencies on different exchanges it would be so easy to do this.

I would just like to see their rates in real time in different exchanges, that's all.

No spike as in April/May means no correction according to blockchain chart. Not my prediction, just analyzing what I think is an easier to visualize graph.

Hi there.

If you need a detailed like hell data, see http://api.bitcoincharts.com/v1/csv/

Otherwise you could grab something there (http://divananalit.org/data/) and there (https://github.com/apsheronets/divananalit/blob/master/get-btce-btc-usd.rb). I wrote it for my own charts (http://divananalit.org).
