tikrtrakr

tikrtrakr is a simple cryptocurrency application that allows users to track the price of a given symbol pair on the Binance exchange. The application is made up of a daemon that fetches the latest price of a given symbol pair at a given interval, and a frontend CLI tool that parses the JSON output of the daemon and displays the price in a human-readable format.

Daemon

Start a daemon for a pair to track the price, with a default interval of 5 seconds:

tikrtrakrd <symbol_pair> [interval]

Examples

// Start a daemon for the BTCUSDT pair that fetches the price every 60 seconds
tikrtrakrd BTCUSDT 60

// Start a daemon for the XRPUSDT pair that fetches the price every 5 seconds

Now, you can use the frontend CLI tool to display the cached price of the pair:

tikrtrakr <symbol_pair>

In the future, you can stop the daemon by running the following command:

tikrtrakrd stop <symbol_pair>
