I'm using the spreadsheet and it's really anoying to update it.
I can say I have a 1 month lag...
I'm a completely noob on coding but I'm trying to learn.
Some q:
Where do you store the data picked from APIs? in spreadsheets? sql?
Do you have a server getting data 24/7? or you just get data once you give that order?
What do you use as frontend? spreadsheet?
Thanks!!
I don't store historical data. It just compares the balances of the selected coins either by reading the balance of an address from a block explorer API or with a quantity I manually enter. And it also reads the prices from APIs.
It refreshes the data every few seconds so it's not taxing on the API server and I get fresh information.
It tracks the changes compared to the last time the program was launched. The amounts/addresses and other data I enter is written to, and loaded from a simple .ini file which is really easy to use so I don't have to keep entering the same stuff. And I'm not really interested in long term historical data so there's no need for a database.
I can barely code so it's pretty much just a duct taped solution but I have yet to see a better solution and CBA to learn code better.
I also have another software that keeps track of masternodes; how long since the last payment, how many payments were made in the last X period, prjoected earning, etc. This is so masternodes that stopped for some reason are easily identified.
