Fetching Cryptocurrency Prices from Coingecko and Displaying them on Grafana
About
This stack consists of:
- Prometheus (timeseries database)
- Pushgateway (introduces a /metrics endpoint for prometheus to scrape)
- Grafana (the best)
- Redis (k/v in memory store)
- Python Script that pulls crypto market data, publishes to pushgateway for prometheus to scrape, and stores market data in Redis
- Flask API to fetch market prices for other projects
I’m using coingecko’s api which gives me 50 free calls per minute.
