Title: btc-alert.com: get gTalk notifications for prices on mtgox Post by: rammerhammer on July 22, 2011, 12:55:37 AM Hey guys, I've just finished putting together a site that will send you notifications over gTalk when the markets cross a price you input. Currently only works with Mt. Gox and USD. You can check it out at www.btc-alert.com (http://www.btc-alert.com) and read the latest news at blog.btc-alert.com (http://blog.btc-alert.com). I plan on adding other exchanges and currencies in the future, as well as an iPhone app with push notifications.

UPD: What about connecting by TCP to bitcoincentral live feed at bitcoincharts.com:27007 and getting all exchanges supported at once and in real time?

UPD: What about connecting by TCP to bitcoincentral live feed at bitcoincharts.com:27007 and getting all exchanges supported at once and in real time? What do you mean by POST notifications? Also yes I do plan on using the bitcoincharts feed later on and allowing the user to pick their exchange/currency. Right now, though, they ask that you restrict updates to once every 15min so I'm considering using the individual exchanges' APIs instead.

The 15 mins restriction applies only to non-realtime bitcoincharts API. The feed support must be much easier implement than a dozen of individual APIs unless you use a lame technology.
By POST notifications I mean the following service: 1) A user enters an HTTP or HTTPS URL on your site and configures alert conditions 2) When the price changes you perform a request to the given URL and pass extra parameters 3) User's web server (e.g. a trade bot) receives the alert 4) PROFIT!!!

There is a realtime server they have over telnet. I might use this, there are some things I need to consider though. Right now the server I have is not realtime and has a delay. Processing these things in realtime I may still need to have a delay just because of server load limitations depending on how big the databases get.
