discord-sidebar-price-bot

Inspired by pipercucu/DiscordSidebarPriceBot, these Python scripts can run Discord bots that pull live data at intervals and display it on the sidebar of a Discord guild (i.e. server). It currently supports:

• Cryptocurrency price data (in USD, BTC, and/or ETH) from Coingecko API
• Gas price of the Ethereum blockchain (in gwei) from Etherscan API or gasnow API
• Forex price from exchangeratesapi
• Crypto Fear & Greed Index from Alternate.me API

Dependencies

Recommended Python 3.7, although it should support Python >=3.5 <=3.9. Install all dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Test & Run

Cryptocurrency Price Bot

1. Cache the cryptocurrency ticker list from Coincegko by generating a crypto_cache.json file.

python cache_coingecko.py -v

2. Configure crypto_config.yaml using the template provided. It requires a unique Discord bot key and (non-unique) Guild ID per bot. 1 sidebar bot per cryptocurrency (expressed by their ticker e.g. BTC, ETH, YFI). For each cryptocurrency, the price can be shown in USD, BTC, and/or ETH.

3. Sometimes multiple coins or tokens share the same ticker (e.g. UNI). In this case, modify resolver_ambiguous_ticker() to specify the token you want.

4. Run a cryptocurrency price bot:

python crypto_run.py -t BTC

Replace the ticker BTC with any cryptocurrency you have configured in Step 2.

Gas Price Bot

1. Configure gas_config.yaml using the template provided. It requires a unique Discord bot key and (non-unique) Guild ID per bot. It also requires an Etherscan API key if you would like to use Etherscan API.

2. Run a gas price bot using Etherscan API:

python gas_run.py -s etherscan

Replace etherscan with gasnow to use Gasnow API (no key required!).

Forex Price Bot

1. Configure forex_config.yaml using the template provided. It requires a unique Discord bot key and (non-unique) Guild ID per bot. 1 sidebar bot per forex pair (expressed by their ticker/ticker e.g. GBP/HKD).

2. Run a forex price bot:

python forex_run.py -p GBP/HKD

Replace GBP/HKD with any forex pair you have configured in Step 1.

Crypto Fear & Greed Index

1. Configure cfgi_config.yaml using the template provided. It requires a unique Discord bot key and (non-unique) Guild ID per bot.

2. Run a bot:

python cfgi_run.py

Deploy

Once you are familiar with running a single sidebar bot, you can run multiple bots concurrently by calling ./bot.sh and kill all bots by calling ./kill.sh. You might want to modify the commands in ./bot.sh to suit your own needs.
