Hi joerazor, DM-ed you

hi @joerazor ,
I have lengthy experience working with Airtable, as well as programming Python and Airtable Scripts (Javascript) to connect the structures I build with external APIs. Happy to have a call about how we can work together: you can book a time at your earliest convenience from my calendar: https://alessiomonino.com/contact

Hello @joerazor,

I am Himanshi. I represent Ajackus, an official Airtable partner. We specialize in building customized solutions with Airtable as a database. We have helped startups and enterprises worldwide make the most of it.

We would love to help you with your requirements. Can we schedule a call to discuss this further?

Yeah, it's important to save on that

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!

Feel free to schedule a call using this link. I’d be happy to go through your specific needs.

Mike, Consultant @ Automatic Nation 

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,

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.
