How to use cryptocomapre api to display price of BTC?
I'm working on an electron app and im using cryptocompare api to display BTC price but it dosen't displays. I've tried every solution i could think of, some help would be appreciated!!
const electron = require('electron');
const path = require('path');
const BrowserWindow = electron.remote.BrowserWindow;
const axios = require('axios');
const notifyBtn = document.querySelector('.notify-btn');
const price = document.querySelector('.price');
const targetPrice = document.querySelector('.target-price');
function getBTC(){
const cryptos = axios.get('https://min-api.cryptocompare.com/data/price?fsym=BTC&tsyms=USD&api_key={api_key}')
price.innerHTML = '$'+cryptos
}
getBTC();
setInterval(getBTC, 20000);
It gives me an output of '$[object Promise]'

In the documentation for axios, it says you need to do this instead:
axios.get(url)
.then(function (response) {
// do something with response
});
This is because the value returned by axios.get isn't a response, it's a promise that will resolve to a response. (So it gets coerced to the string [object Promise].) If you don't know what this means, read this link. Basically promises are a way of dealing with tasks that take a long time to run (such as api calls) without blocking other javascript code from runnning. But anyway, what you want is this:
function getBTC(){
axios.get('https://min-api.cryptocompare.com/data/price?fsym=BTC&tsyms=USD&api_key={api_key}')
.then(function(response) {
var data = response.data;
var cryptos = // get cryptos from data somehow
price.innerHTML = '$'+cryptos;
});
}
I haven't read the axios documentation in detail. I believe what you are looking for is in response.data, but I couldn't tell you any more than that. Try console.log('Response:', response); to find out how the response is structured.

That wasn't a complete answer, because I couldn't figure out all the details from the documentation. I meant that you need to find out howresponseis structured by logging it (or possibly by reading the docs more thoroughly than I did). Then you can replace thevar cryptosline with something more sensible. Currently it's joining that line onto the next line because it doesn't end with a semicolon; so it's equivalent tovar cryptos; price.innerHTML = '$'+cryptos; cryptos = price.innerHTML;. That's why it's setting the price to$undefined.
