I was thinking about something like this before. I assume that this is where the value is extracted at the time of writing this code, I guess that it is not difficult to add the exact time/date of that value.
have you thought about offering sharing codes right away on the site, and not only as BB codes? something like the one we have on image-sharing services. also, make it clickable to your site

[SFR10]

Thank you for your suggestion SFR10

It is already working! I forked it from the code from (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3485877.0)

Wow, I'm speechless <sup>[I should be the one thanking you for implementing my suggestion in the span of a few hours (you're a lifesaver)]
- May I know how short the intervals are? I stopped tracking it after it passed the 15-minute mark (I do know there are certain limits, so I'm not hoping for it to become very short).</sup>
I did notice a minor issue while I was refreshing the page like a maniac ^{[e.g. the result that had the currency parameter temporarily showed blank, but after a few refreshes, it came back (the default one wasn't affected)]}.

That is a good idea.
I will make a better implementation soon (with selects and parameters and a possible HTML output as well).

I just posted it here:

I made a small change in the URL (I added API in the URL). This a better name.

Please take a look later. Thanks for your suggestion, I will post about it later so people from other local boards use it!

Hello @Bitmover, Thank you for doing a great job on @SFR10 suggestion.

I just want to have an additional request if this doesn't trouble you. Is it possible to make the output background transparent to make the result blend in with the forum text which in my case tables? Something like the image below:



Nevertheless, The current version is still good if this suggestion is not possible. Thanks again.

@bitmover
I was wondering if there's a possibility of adding a feature on the unit converter that'd allow users to easily copy a code, in order to show dynamic fiat values of certain Bitcoin amounts on threads of this forum?
^{- AFAICR, all of the other alternatives from the past were limited to USD only and I'm looking for a way to use other fiat currencies in local boards.}

Thank you for your suggestion SFR10

Great job @bitmover. Whenever I see tools like these, I always remember the thread created[1] by BlackHatCoiner that had tons of features regarding live updating tickers covering a variety of information. While BHC had a great number of tickers developed, in the end, due to minimal usage[2], he ended up offering address balances and USD exchange rate - both of which are still working as of now.

Hello @Bitmover, Thank you for doing a great job on @SFR10 suggestion.

Done. The background is now transparent and the font is gray, so it will work in any background (light or dark)

As a final note, and for the sake of transparency, I think it's always interesting to see the statistics of the website as an outside service/company. It is something that will always be asked and you can already provide it even before the initial discussions .

Thanks for you suggestion, I just added website stats in the donate page:

[RickDeckard]

Done. The background is now transparent and the font is gray, so it will work in any background (light or dark)

Great work! This is just a suggestion but what do you think of displaying a copy button (similar to the one you have in your donation address here[1]) so that it makes it easier/quicker to copy the code?

Thanks for you suggestion, I just added website stats in the donate page:


https://bitcoindata.science/donate.html

That is great! If you see a low activity on this field do remember my feedback here[2] regarding looking for potential customers - sometimes it is just better to "give" a week to try out and reap possible results in the future than to have no offers (or offers that aren't of interest to you). Keep up the good work!

Hello @Coin_trader , @SFR10

Do you guys see any use for an API like this?

Code:

https://bitcoindata.science/api/addressbalance.php?address=3CrySAp8G1PfvjrYT4HPQhE8MouBKWd9WB&currency=PHP

It takes 2 parameters, address and currency.
It will show BTC balance and fiat value.

It is already working, I will prepare the documentation.

I am having some nice ideas with those API, to implement in the future. I am open for suggestions. I will open a thread just for it in the next days.

There's definitely a use for it, but it'd probably be used on a smaller scale in contrast to the previous one... The first thing that comes to my mind is donation campaigns ^{[e.g. this or this]}, and then some of the games in the games and rounds sub-board ^{[it can also be used on the collectibles sub-board for special cases]}.

Not bad! I can think of some uses for this (although it's been a while since I created any topic that can use it).
Question: how does it work with updates: are they real-time? And if so: does the forum proxy not cache the old version?

[bitmover]

Thank you. I will create the API documentation soon and create more API endpoints.

Edit: Maybe useful for campaign manager or someone else who wants to easily proof he has the funds in some address?

Question: how does it work with updates: are they real-time? And if so: does the forum proxy not cache the old version?

Yes, real time. However, there are no updates.

Once you make the request, the old image is deleted and a new one is created. Every time you reload the page (call the API again) a new image is generated with the newest blockchain and price data.

So, the image is always updated. There is no cache.

_{- Now I'm jealous (I wish I knew how to do such things as well)}

I started learning during the pandemic. You can start anytime

[LoyceV]

Yes, real time. However, there are no updates.

That's bad.

That's good Your first description was confusing.

[bitmover]

Sorry for the confusion.

If you leave the page open, the image will not update by itself. You need to reload the page/image, then the data will update.

This is what I meant

[LoyceV]

If you leave the page open, the image will not update by itself. You need to reload the page/image, then the data will update.

That makes sense. Nobody would expect images posted on a forum to update without reloading the page.

That makes sense. Nobody would expect images posted on a forum to update without reloading the page.

But it would be nice if the timestamp can also be displayed. That would remove the doubts for someone who just reads the whole context without knowing how the thing works.

I would not ignore the purpose of this without an update after each refresh. There are situations where it is necessary to know the value at the time of writing the post.

Thank you Bitmover for this extra that you developed or adapted.
It will be a useful resource for some jobs that you may carry out.

What cryptos does it accept? BTC only?

You can use any cryptocurrency available in coingecko

for example, 1 ethereum in BRL

Hello examplens.

Just added a more detailed documentation and implemented your suggestion:

https://bitcoindata.science/local-price-to-image.html


I will probably create a new ANN for this tool, once I add more features.

[examplens]

Just added a more detailed documentation and implemented your suggestion:

You really dedicated yourself to your site, I'm glad to see that. Progress is also visible. 

I would also add the creation of HTML code here. Let it be helpful outside the Bitcointalk forum when you have already created this service. It can be very useful for bloggers, and you can get quality backlinks.
Suppose you can visually separate the part that refers to printing the value of Bitcoin from this part that deals with printing the address balance. With different backgrounds, some frames or simple lines, it's easier on the eye.
Also, in this previous suggestion post, maybe you just skipped it... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5445282.msg62152709#msg62152709 I believe that it would be a very useful tool for campaign managers to set the price of bitcoins, at the moment when they were doing the calculation.

[bitmover]

I just created one more API, which i believe may be useful in the recent days of crazy fees



This data is always updated from mempool.space

I will create a few more , specially about transactions ID and their details, which I believe will be quite useful too. THen I will create one more topic to properly announce all API.
