polybar-crypto

A polybar script that displays the price of various crypto-currencies.

A fork from willHol/polybar-crypto with the following changes:

Returns an empty string if API request fails, removing output if no internet connection is available.
Remove cryptocoins icon font and uses the coin ticker label instead.
Add an additional mode which only queries a single coin. Each time the program is run a new coin from the list is chosen.

Setup

git clone https://github.com/stuianna/polybar-crypto.git &&
    cd polybar-crypto &&
    cp ./{crypto-config,crypto.py} ~/.config/polybar

Then in ~/.config/polybar/config:

[bar/top]

...

modules-right = crypto

...

[module/crypto]
type = custom/script
interval = 300
exec = /home/<user>/.config/polybar/crypto.py

Additionally, you may need to change this line in crypto.py to match the correct location.

#Change this to the full path of your crypto-config file if necessary
configFile = '/home/<user>/.config/polybar/crypto-config'

~/.config/polybar/crypto-config
