Anyone have info on GDAX API settings? TIA.

BTW, alerts don't seem to be working with Bitstamp. What's supposed to happen; color change, audio alert?

New versions of both BTC and LTC gadgets are available. Two changes in this version:

1. Support for international Windows versions. Gadget wouldn't install on German windows (or any version other than en-US), and it would ignore decimals on correction values if Windows was setup to use comma instead of decimal point. If you encountered this problems, please download the newest version and give it a try.

2. Ability to use Javascript in JSON keys. The json object variable name is "json". That means that JSON key can be referenced from Javascript like this: json.ticker.last - which allows to retrieve data from more complicated JSON responses. The old way of referencing keys ("last") still works, but is not able to parse JSON responses where there are, say, two JSON keys with the requested name.

Well, that's not exactly true. The last version of gadgets is 4.2 for MyBitcoins and 3.2 for MyLitecoins, both available since November 2017, so not exactly new. Support for international/German Windows and json variable is available since MyBitcoins 2.1 and MyLitecoins 1.2 released in September 2012.

This info is available on MyBitcoins and MyLitecoins web page; please download your gadgets only from official website, http://www.domchi.cc/mybitcoins/ and http://www.domchi.cc/mylitecoins/.

I want to get USD price of LTC from bitfinex site.
I tried with your gadget, but not working.
Please can you tell what exactly need to be typed & where.

Well, you could use MyBitcoins gadget, but if you want to show LTC price I recommend that you download my MyLitecoins gadget from http://domchi.cc/mylitecoins/ - the functionality is the same, but the design is different and it comes with Litecoin price already set up - although it retrieves the BTCLTC price from Poloniex. To set it up to show LTC price in USD from Bitfinex, change the following settings:

Bitfinex
exchange URL: https://api.bitfinex.com/v1/pubticker/LTCUSD
exhange rate JSON key: last_price
ticker currency: USD
field 1 JSON key: ask
field 2 JSON key: last_price
field 3 JSON key: bid


Thank you very much.
Its working perfectly.
Thanks again.

i want to get current value from coinmarketcap website but when i tried to this api https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/bitcoin/ i am not getting latest values, can some one guide me how to make edit in settings for this

Please note that Coinmarketcap has value in USD and value in BTC. For BTC, value in BTC is 1, but it comes in handy for all other cryptocurrencies. So, important step is to clear field 1, 2 and 3 JSON keys in settings, otherwise gadget will not be able to update the price.

So for BTC:

Main currency: BTC
Exchange URL: https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/bitcoin/
Exchange rate JSON key: price_usd
Ticker currency: USD

...and for, say, ETH, you have to fetch price_btc JSON key (and this will work for any other cryptocurrency):

Main currency: ETH
Exchange URL: https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/ethereum/
Exchange rate JSON key: price_btc
Ticker currency: BTC


Thank you its working

This is a very helpful window application that I need. I always like to check btc price and you are right that before I even see the price is I see many ads that will congest the site first. I don't have a fast internet so I will really try this out.

Great! will try to download. used blockfolio for phone . nice app . this is similar to blockfolio?

just as a gadget for windows, blockfolio i think it is more complete.
but at least it helps to keep track of bitcoin movements.
so far i like to use it.

Gadgets are now updated with a different conversion API. Please note that the new API has some built-in limits that you should probably be aware of. Exchange rates are refreshed every 30 minutes, so if you're converting from BTC your exchange rate might be slightly off, especially during major price swings. Also, please note that the new API limits usage to maximum of 100 requests per hour. In typical usage scenarios this should not be an issue, but if you use exchange update rate lower than 40 seconds, using "Target currency" field is probably not a good idea.

I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. Yahoo! API has been a good and free service for the past 15 years and I'm sad to see it go.

You can download the new version on the gadget page: http://domchi.cc/mybitcoins/

As of today, Yahoo! Finance has unexpectedly shut down the API this gadget was using for currency conversions. If you're using "Target currency" field you're affected. I'm working to switch to another API, please stand by.

Also, why does it reverts to default setting every time i restart it?

You did not restart it, you closed one gadget and started a new one. You can start multiple instances if you want, each with its own settings.

Technically, gadgets are not meant to be restarted. You "add" them to your desktop, you close them if you don't have use for them anymore and that's pretty much it. Oh, and you can "hide" them by right-clicking on the desktop and toggling "Show desktop gadgets" - that keeps the settings intact.

Glad you made it work!

Trying to get GBP without yahoo exchange rate.

Correction + pool
https://localbitcoins.com/bitcoinaverage/ticker-all-currencies/
json.GBP.rates.last
GBP.rates.last
rates.last
last

None of the four works.

Ticker GBP and target GBP doesn't work.

It persistently shows USD then GBP at the bottom as N/A.

json.GBP.rates.last is correct. But clear field 1, 2 and 3 JSON keys, I would guess you have some old invalid keys there.

Are you referring to the secondary exchange as i was referring to the primary exchange?

Sorted, thxs.

Also, why does it reverts to default setting every time i restart it?

avg_6h instead of last doesn't work?

Sorted by removing rates.
