Crypto Plug 🔌

cPlug is an advanced crypto market data provider via the command line. Once initialized, cplug has a set of cli arguments that will be available for use allowing end-users to fetch specific data about a cryptocurrency.

All Data is sourced from Messari.io and will require a user-generated Messari API Key

How to Install

You need to install Node.js first, then install the tool globally using npm via this command:

$ npm install -g cplug

This will install cplug globally, so it will be added automatically to your PATH.

How to Initialize

In order to enable the market data cli commands, cplug must be initialized using a Messari API Key. Run the following:

$ cplug --init <api_key>

npm.io

Create Messari API Key

It takes 1 minute to create a Messari API key by doing the following: 1. Navigate to messari.io 2. Login (or sign up if you don't have an account - we will only be using it to generate an API Key) 3. Navigate to Account via the avatar on the top right of the navigation bar 4. Select Manage API Key at the bottom of the Account Overview page npm.io 5. Select Create New API Key on the API Key section which will generate and display a new API Key npm.io 6. Copy the API Key and use it in How To Initialize

The API key being displayed above is invalid and will not work for you :)
