Bitcoin Price that updates in specific Seconds

0 votes

I have with me my HTML and Java code which is used to retrieve and display the price of the Bitcoin in USD through the bitcoininfo. I want it to auto update on Javascript every 5 seconds. This ensures non refreshing of the page to get the current price. Have shared my code below:- 

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html lang="en" > 
<head> 

  <meta charset="UTF-8"> 
  <title>Bitcoin Current price</title> 
  <style>#wrapper { 
  font-size: 1em; 
  font-family: arial; 
  margin: 20px auto; 
  width:450px; 
  color: green; 
  text-align: center; 
} 

#btc {font-size:6em;} 

</style> 
</head> 
<body> 
<!-- partial:index.partial.html --> 
<div id="wrapper"> 
    <h1>Bitcoin Current Price</h1> 
    <div id="btc"></div> 
    </div> 
    <!-- partial --> 
      <script> var currentPrice = new XMLHttpRequest(); 

currentPrice.open('GET', 'https://api.gdax.com/products/BTC-USD/book', true); currentPrice.onreadystatechange = function(){ 
    if(currentPrice.readyState == 4){ 
        var ticker = JSON.parse(currentPrice.responseText); 
        var price = ticker.bids[0][0]; 
        document.getElementById('btc').innerHTML = "$" + price; 
  }; 
}; 
currentPrice.send();</script> 

</body>
</html>

If there's a better way to do it, a pointer in the right direction will be well appreciated. Thank you!

The better way to do so is to make the API into a function by wrapping the call and then keep constantly calling it every 5 seconds by using setInterval. Have shared the code below:-


<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html lang="en"> 
<head> 
    <meta charset="UTF-8"> 
    <title>Bitcoin Current price</title> 
    <style> 
        #wrapper { 
            font-size: 1em; 
            font-family: arial; 
            margin: 20px auto; 
            width: 450px; 
            color: green; 
            text-align: center; 
} 

#btc { 
    font-size: 6em; 
} 
  </style> 
</head> 
<body> 
    <!-- partial:index.partial.html --> 
    <div id="wrapper"> 
          <h1>Bitcoin Current Price</h1> 
        <div id="btc"></div> 
</div> 
<!-- partial --> 
<script> 
  function get_price() { 
  var el = document.getElementById('btc') 
  fetch("https://api.gdax.com/products/BTC-USD/book") 
  .then(res => res.json()) .then(res => { 
  var price = res.bids[0][0]; 
    el.innerHTML = "$" + price; 
}).catch(err => { 
    el.innerHTML = "$0.00 - Error"; 
}); 

}

get_price() 
setInterval(get_price, 5000) 
</script> 

</body> 

</html>
