exchanges have ticker api support generally.

for example, for poloniex: https://poloniex.com/public?command=returnTicker

just parse the output w/ json and you're good to go.

Doesn't give you the price in USD though. I'm working on an altcoin JSON api for this reason but its still a while away.

Coinmarketcap's API will give you the last trade price in USD (not the 24hr average though afaik) for a given ticker.

You can use bitcoinaverage for btc 24h average price.

Do you mean something like this?

I did this awhile back, not hard at all.
It should be pretty easy to setup for most major coins on bittrex, maybe a few hours tops I think.

Maybe follow me on github.  I don't have this currently, but will be actively working towards this...

my xchange api gives the USD for a few exchanges - https://github.com/jxm262/xchange.js



PM me if you'd like.  Can change my priorities if needed.

cool!

do have any plans to deploy it somewhere with like a JSON api?

Kraken happens to have all those coins (BTC, DOGE and LTC) on their exchange ... perhaps you can look into using them for your API calls. I'm not sure about the volumes though. They are the highest BTC-EUR exchange but not so sure about USD.

Yeah , eventually.  For the moment, I'm just creating Node modules for other devs to use (so there can be a bunch of websites using the same backing code). 

If you don't plan to make a ton of requests, I can throw up a basic Node server with a Rest endpoint for you.  Just pm me here or on that slack group, would only take me a few mins to do.


Eventually, I'll make a much bigger website with some cool features.  But that will be after I have the infrastructure in place.

Just realized you said 'average on last 24h' .  I have another module for analytics like that

Again, it's currently just for a few exchanges.  It's part of the plan to add everything though.
