Topic: What's the best API to use to get the current bitcoin price? (Read 11733 times)
Allot of companies are using https://bitcoinaverage.com/ have a look at their website and you can find how they get the price.
I prefer CoinMarketCap
In google sheets (excel) to get BTC/USD value I was made this:
=1000/IMPORTDATA("https://blockchain.info/tobtc?currency=USD&value=1000").
It's work's fine!
=1000/IMPORTDATA("https://blockchain.info/tobtc?currency=USD&value=1000").
It's work's fine!
I wouldn't advise anyone to install unknown extensions. The last online wallet hack was because of chrome extensions btw. So beware people.!
I'm thinking of making a simple Chrome extension that would allow you to easily check the price of bitcoin at any time by simply clicking a button in your browser, instead of having to visit a website. I'm unfamiliar with any APIs that might currently be out there which would make this possible. Anyone have a recommendation?
i like to design a special app for finding bit coin price and checking every day. so now i'm trying to designing new app. actually coindesk API is the best for using. so present i had to using this API only.and making few changes in google then it is easy to finding price.
Beautiful resurrection powers. A grandmaster necromancer from the 3rd inner circle. How to wield such power?
I think the Coindesk API is simpler. Check it out: https://www.coindesk.com/api/
Please, post here if (when) you make that Chrome extension. Will be nice thing to have it.
thx

I believe the most low-latency API they have is the websockets API, where you subscribe to a price feed in near real time.

Here's a discussion about it and BETA testing:

To answer my own question, blockchain.info seems to have exactly what I'm looking for:
https://blockchain.info/api/exchange_rates_api
Though I'm always open to learning about other APIs available to me anyway, for future reference.
