  • Various cryptocurrency return

    Various cryptocurrency return "Invalid currency"

    Attempting to convert coins such as XMR, BNB, SAND, NEAR, KLAY, etc return "Invalid currency ." error, I have confirmed these are the names used for these coins on the Coinbase website.

    Steps To Reproduce:

    1. Attempt to convert failing coin - forx XMR USD

    2022-01-24_15-24 2022-01-24_15-26

    It's possible this isn't an issue with your application and is instead an issue with the coinbase API. Further testing indicates that lower ranked coins past the 2nd page seem to all fail.

  • Switch amount data type from int to float?

    Switch amount data type from int to float?

    Currently, forx does't support amounts that aren't whole integers. For instance, forx btc usd -q .12 returns forx: error: argument -q: invalid int value: '.12'. Changing the type from int to float on line 72 in convert.py seems to resolve the issue, but I'm unsure of repercussions. I'm more than happy to submit a PR for this as well.

  • Bypass cloudflare when using proxy

    Bypass cloudflare when using proxy

    I tried to use an environmental proxy to connect via the Tor network, but it seems that python-requests doesn't bypass cloudflare since I got an error. I tried with the tor browser and it works.

    I think that this should be solvable by modifing the http headers.

  • Some currencies need special rounding

    Some currencies need special rounding

    Most currencies uses two decimal places, but some of them use more or less. For example: BHD uses three.

    The decimal places needed for every fiat currency are available in the currencies data provided by #8. For crypto currencies I think that we shouldn't round the price, we should display the price as it is. It there any other idea?

  • Add an option to use an alternate API to support cryptocurrencies beyond those supported by Coinbase

    Add an option to use an alternate API to support cryptocurrencies beyond those supported by Coinbase

    As per this issue, some popular cryptocurrencies (XMR, BNB, SAND, NEAR, KLAY, etc.) are not supported by the Coinbase API.

    The only fix for this I see is adding an option to use an alternate API to pull data for these additional cryptocurrencies. Maybe alphavantage?
