I am trying to sync the Ask/Bid prices of several cryptocurrency prices, along with their trading volumes, from different exchanges in real-time (Or at a maximum of every 2 minutes) into my Airtable via API or any possible alternate method.

I have attached a screenshot of how I would like my table to look like.

There will be a list of ~2000 cryptocurrencies that I need to be constantly updated. If the specific cryptocurrency is not traded on a specific exchange, it should leave the field empty.

I was able to get the job done via DataFetcher, but unfortunately, it is not a cost-efficient approach.

I am open to getting this done via Javascript scripting if possible.

I am looking for something cost-efficient in the long run that will not require hundreds of dollars every month.

If you can get this job done, please let me know.

Sounds like a brilliant project – keeping it cost-efficient while handling 2000+ cryptocurrencies is definitely the right mindset. Using JavaScript with scheduled API calls could be a good shout, especially if you host it on a low-cost server or even serverless platforms to cut costs.

On a related note, the crypto market itself is booming right now, with blockchain tech gaining more mainstream attention. If you're curious about some of the newer projects in this space, luxfi.io is worth a look.

Hey ​@joerazor

 

Do you want to track the price differences or only to update frequently the prices in your data base? 

 

The easiest and fasted way to build this connection in 1-2 hours is using any automation platform that will send data into your Airtable. There are many different tools which differ  o pricing, features and technical knowledge to start building. I am glad to help you find the best option based on your project’s requirements. 

 

I am doing co-building sessions working together live on the call on your project. So we make real progress during the conversation while you get to know how your automations and systems actually work, so you can make improvements on them at any time by your self. 

 

Happy schedule a 30min conversation with no commitments talkin about your project challenges. Here is my calendar link: https://cal.com/dimitrisgoudis/meet-dimitris?

 

Yours sincerely,

Dimitris Goudis | 3Nuggets.io

I've actually tackled something similar using a combo of Node.js scripts and the CCXT library, which supports most major exchanges and their APIs. The beauty of CCXT is that it standardizes all the different exchange APIs into one consistent format, making it super easy to pull data from multiple sources. You could set up a simple server that fetches your data every couple minutes and pushes it directly to Airtable using their API - I've got this running for about 50 pairs and it costs me practically nothing (just my $5/month DigitalOcean droplet). For 2000 cryptos you might need to be careful about rate limits, but you could stagger the requests or just batch them intelligently.

Hey ​@joerazor 

I can help you set up an efficient system to sync crypto Ask/Bid prices and trading volumes from various exchanges into Airtable in real-time (or at intervals you prefer). We can use Airtable's API along with external cryptocurrency APIs (like CoinGecko, Binance, or others) to pull the data and update it at regular intervals, ensuring that each crypto is updated, and any missing data leaves the field empty.

To make this process cost-efficient, I would set up an automation system using a custom script (JavaScript) that queries the exchange APIs and updates Airtable through API calls at an interval of your choice. This method would avoid the high costs associated with third-party services like Data Fetcher.

I can also ensure that this solution is scalable and doesn’t become a recurring cost burden for you.
