How to build a Discord Bot to track Crypto Prices 24/7 and set Price Alerts (part 1) --- with Python

Описание: Hello Everyone! My name is Andrew Fung, in this video, I will be showing you how you create a Crypto Bot in your discord server to track Crypto Prices and send user notifications in the form of messages to your devices. The crypto bot will be running 24/7 all the time as hosted by UpTimeRobot and will be constantly pinged every 5 minutes to keep the bot alive.

import discord
import requests
from replit import db

getting crypto data
def getCryptoPrices(crypto):
URL = "https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/coin..."
r = requests.get(url=URL)
data = r.json()

putting the cryptocurrencies and their prices in db
for i in range(len(data)):
db[data[i]['id']] = data[i]['current_price']

if crypto in db.keys():
return db[crypto]
else:
return None

check if a cryptocurrency is supported in this bot
def isCryptoSupported(crypto):
if crypto in db.keys():
return True
else:
return False

instantiate a discord client
client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
print(f'You have logged in as {client}')
channel = discord.utils.get(client.get_all_channels(),name='general')

await client.get_channel(channel.id).send('bot is now online!')

called whether there is a message in the chat
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return

if message.content.startswith('ya'):
await message.channel.send('yeet')

BOT_TOKEN = 'YOUR_TOKEN_HERE'
client.run(BOT_TOKEN)
