cc-prices

Welcome to cc-prices, a Visual Studio Code extension that allows you to keep an eye on cryptocurrency prices as you code!

Default Settings

The default settings provide a set of basic tickers for BTC, ETH and LTC. The current prices are displayed in USDT with colors based on the 24HOUR period.

Customization

This extension uses Binance's public market data to retrieve the current cryptocurrency prices, which needs no API key. A ticker works for any symbol and currency that Binance trades as a pair, such as BTC and USDT for BTCUSDT. A currency of USD is treated as USDT.

You can fully customize your tickers using the cc-prices extension settings.

// Specify the refresh interval in seconds
"cc-prices.interval": 60,

// Specify the opening period: the last HOUR, the last 24HOUR, or the DAY since midnight UTC
"cc-prices.period": "24HOUR",

// Customize your high and low colors to suite your status bar
"cc-prices.higherColor": "lightgreen",
"cc-prices.lowerColor": "coral",

// Customize your tickers
"cc-prices.tickers": [
    {
        // The base cryptocurrency symbol
        "symbol": "BTC",

        // The comparison currency symbol
        "currency": "EUR",

        // Create a custom ticker template
        "template": "{symbol} {price} {percent}"
    },
    {
        // You can even compare cryptocurrencies
        "symbol": "ETH",
        "currency": "BTC"
    },
    {
        // Uses the default currency, USDT
        "symbol": "DOGE"
    }
]
