About the Projects

What is the project about?
This project solve the issue of the group of people who are actively on telegram. Instead of going CoinMarketCap website to check the current price of a CryptoCurrency, the user can simply type in chat to know the current price.
Technology Stack
- Node.js the programming language that I used to code the programme.
- Axios a JS library I use to consume CoinMarketCap API
- Babel a JS Compiler for compatibility of older Node.js
Roadmap
- Add a feature that a user can key in a certain amount of coins. (e.g. /price 1 steem MYR)
- Add a better naming for coins. (e.g. instead of steems-dollars, use SBD; instead of bitcoin, use BTC)

I would suggest adding API from coinmarketwatch.com & livecoinwatch.com too because not all coins are on cmc :)

Thanks for the suggestion. Currently, we are just checking steem and sbd price only, so should be fine haha.

Thats awesome! im using it right now lol

Thanks for finding it useful 😁

cool project. I tried out the bot. Good to get the price :-) so easily.

just a suggestion

The command "/price steem-dollars", is there a way to still get an answer instead of an error, if people type in "/price steem-dollar" without "s" cos quite easy to not type in the "s".

Nice one, please can i get added to the team malaysia telegram group
