Cryptocurrencies-Coins-Sourcecode-download

This repository contains codes to download codes of cryptrocurrencies from website CoinMarketCap.com and the source codes of all coins crawled before.

This is the code to get the latest version of all existing cryptocurrencies on CoinMarketCap.com. To access the historical snapshots, please go to https://github.com/island255/GetHistoryofCoins.

The snapshots of altcoins on 28 March 2018 and 28 September 2018 can be assessd through https://drive.google.com/open?id=1SUwkXRbFNfpO_I46Br_k-SXpF_4edK_D.

We use bs4 to crwal GitHub links of altcoins from wesite CoinMarketCap and repo links from GitHub. However, it doesn't alaways work when the website changes its codes. We recommend to use API of CoinMarketCap and GitHub to get a stable access.
