rateboard

Displays times, currency pairs and bitcoin rates from multiple public sources

Requires:

  • Python 2.7+ (tested on Raspberry Pi3 running jessie)
  • PyQt4
  • simplejson

Operation: $ python rateboard-main &

  • refreshes each widget on a random interval to avoid spamming public APIs
  • rotates background color (R key advances)
  • Q key quits

Notes:

  • wait 10-15 minutes for rates to appear - respects the API providers by not hitting them all at once
  • No guarantees as to the semantic meaning or accuracy of the data pulled from various APIs
  • Expect API providers will to change the APIs and break widgets occasionally (do your own maintenance, contribs welcome)
  • author(s) may change rateboard code in unexpected and temporarily broken ways without warning, notification or contrition
