Generic Monitor (Genmon) plugin that shows the prices of your favorite and trending cryptocurrency tokens via fetching CoinGecko API.
Features:
- Click on the widget to visit CoinGecko site
- Hover over the widget to view trending tokens
- Get system notification from tokens having huge price change
https://github.com/bimlas/xfce4-coingecko (please star if you like the plugin)
$ xfce4-coingecko.sh <warnlevel> <token1> <token2> ...
<warnlevel>- The minimum daily price change expressed as a percentage for which you want to receive notifications (set it to a high value to disable)
<token>- CoinGecko API ID of the token (from the "Info" box of it)
Because the list of the tokens could be long, it's suggested to create a "wrapper" shell script, for example xfce4-coingecko-wrapper.sh:
#!/bin/sh
/path/to/xfce4-coingecko.sh 20 bitcoin ethereum matic-network
Don't forget to make it executable via chmod +x xfce4-coingecko-wrapper.sh.
