A simple, lightweight Node.js Discord cryptocurrency bot.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Ensure Node.js is installed, and run npm install to install the project's dependencies.

• Rename .env.example to .env
• If you haven't already, sign up for a free EthGasStation API key here: https://data.defipulse.com/
• If you haven't already, sign up for a free CoinMarketCap API key here: https://pro.coinmarketcap.com/
• Create your Discord bot on the Discord Developer Portal here: https://discord.com/developers/applications
• Paste all of your keys into the .env file.

Usage

All commands can either be sent directly to the bot or sent in a server or channel that the bot is also in.

• Use the command !gasprices to see current Ethereum network gas prices, as well as how long transactions are expected to take if you use each respective gas price.
• Use the command !coin followed by the symbol of the coin you would like information on. By default, the bot returns the CMC rank, market cap, 24hr volume and price of the coin supplied; however the bot can be edited very easily to provide more detailed information.
  • Example: !coin btc, !coin cake

Deployment

As this is a Node.js bot, it can be run on Windows, macOS and Linux. I would recommend deploying it on a Raspberry Pi, or a very lightweight cloud server such as Google Cloud Platform. You can use PM2 to very easily turn the bot into a process with very little downtime.
