It's all about the endpoint, for example: https://api.coinbase.com/v1/prices/spot_rate?currency=USD

It spits out json encoded data and you have to decode it.

Code:

$raw_coinbase_price_now = file_get_contents('https://api.coinbase.com/v1/prices/spot_rate?currency=USD');

$json = json_decode($raw_coinbase_price_now);
$coinbase_price = $json->amount;
$coinbase = number_format($coinbase_price, 2);
echo $coinbase;
?>

yes there is an easier way to do it, use iframes, it isnt pretty but it gets the job done

Thanks for that info. It's not precisely what I am looking for but something quick.

I am looking to make a website to show the price of different altcoins like Coinmarketcap. I looked around and it seems to be all about modifying the api to set it up according to my needs.

I am wondering if there is any tutorial to learn how to fetch coins prices from sources. Also is there any easier way to do this? I am looking forward to everyone's replies
