A Desktop Bitcoin Price Ticker

Introduction:

Hey Steemit,

Thank your for letting me be apart of the Steemit community, I just joined today, July 9, 2017. Over the last couple of days i have been viewing the curated content on this website because I wanted to figure out what type of content, I would create and promote so one day I can be very successful on Steemit. I finally now have decided to post different types of content ranging from Bitcoin, music, sports to programming. I found Steemit because of trevonjb@trevonjb and other youtube mentors. But today I will walk you through the process of having a clean website to show the current Bitcoin Price.

      $.getJSON("https://blockchain.info/ticker?cors=true", function(json) {
      //Grab BlockChain's API information

        var html = "";
        var usd = "";
        var gbp = "";
        var aud = "";
       // set default values to be used in the function

        
        html = ''
CurrencyPrice
; // Create a string that builds an html table jQuery.each(json, function(key, val) { html += "" + key + "" + val["last"] + "" // For Each item in the jSon create a new row in the table if (key == "USD"){ usd += val["last"] + " " + key // If the key is USD set the value of USD } else if (key == "GBP"){ gbp += val["last"] + " " + key // If the key is GBP set the value of GBP } else if (key == "AUD"){ aud += val["last"] + " " + key // If the key is AUD set the value of AUD } }); html += ""; // End the table by adding to the end of the html string. $(".prices").html(html); $(".usd-price").html(usd); $(".gbp-price").html(gbp); $(".aud-price").html(aud); // Set prices If this post was helpful please drop a comment below. }); });
