latest price info?

[Anonymous]

what is the best way to pull the latest price from the exchange?

i think it would be great to use with the woocommerce plugin that it will check latest price for example.

but i would also like to use it for just a small widget.

do you suggest a Mysql call?

This is something that I plan to implement in the future.

The exchange could present an exchange rates provider to the parent plugin.

Other than that, you can get the last market price with the wallets_api_market_summary filter.

See the accompanying phpdoc for an example of how to call it.

if anyone is interested and wants to clean it up some more

$market_summary = apply_filters(
     'wallets_api_market_summary',
     null,
     array(
         'base_symbol' => 'BTC',
         'quote_symbol' => 'TPWR',  //  < -----  change your coin info here
     )
 );

// var_dump($market_summary);

$ask = $market_summary->min_ask;
if ($ask == "  ") {
    echo "There are no Bids at this time. <br><br>";
} else {
   echo "This is the asking price : " . $ask . " BTC <br><br>";
}

$bid = $market_summary->min_bid;

if ($bid = " ") {
    echo "There are no Bids at this time. <br><br>";
} else {
   echo "This is the bidding price : " . $bid . " BTC <br><br>";
}

Thank you for sharing your code. This is indeed how you would use the exchange’s PHP API to pull the minimum bid and maximum ask prices for a market. You can also have access to the latest price exchanged with $market_summary->last_price.

Once quick comment, you are checking for if ($ask == " ") {. This might work, but to be safe, I would write if ( ! $ask ) {. You are not interested in whether $ask is empty but whether it is truthy or falsy. (See http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.boolean.php)

kind regards

Nice bit of code 🙂
Have adapted it into a shortcode on my site and works great to display anywhere on the site where the price is needed. 🙂

can you share how you did it for everyone to be able to use?

glad it was useful

Work In Progress, just taken your idea and suggestion by Alex and wrapped into a plugin.
Save into file called showcoinlastprice.php put into a folder called showcoinlastprice and zip it, then install just like you do any other plugin.
Use shortcode where ever you want last price for your coin to be shown.
