rate.sx - crypto rates in the shell
rate.sx
rate.sx is a wonderful MIT-licensed service created by Igor Chubin that offers real-time information, converter, calculator, exchange rates and graphical representation of cryptos from the terminal.
Project page : https://rate.sx
GitHub : https://github.com/chubin/rate.sx
rate.sx does not need to be installed, it is enough to have curl, if we don't have it
sudo apt install curl
Use of rate.sx
With the simplest command we visualize the top 10 and changes
curl https://rate.sx
By default everything is in USD, if we want another currency we indicate it in the domain.
curl https://eur.rate.sx
To view the graph, prices and various data of a cryptocurrency
curl https://rate.sx/btc
To display the graph at a given date, for example, the last 30 days of bitcoin
curl https://rate.sx/btc@30d
We also have a calculator where you can add and subtract
curl https://rate.sx/1BTC+1000HIVE
I have had the pleasure of speaking by email with the creator and although hive and hbd are not yet on the updated list, it is on its way, to be able to visualize it we will make a
curl -s https://rate.sx/?n=500 | grep -i hive
This is especially configurable with aliases as I commented in yesterday's post

really cool site, I didn't know about this one - thanks for sharing!
adding a new alias now :)
Thanks to you for reading it, I'm very glad you like it, best regards
This is really cool.
I have never used a real-time service from command line.
I will give it a try.
We should be able to use it using gitbash on windows system ?
The truth is that I have not tried it and right now I only have Linux on all my machines, I can then install a virtual one and tell you about it. I know it works well with curl, but there is a curl port too, let's try it.
