Coinguide Update: A cryptocurrency trade guide (HitBTC USDT Market data now available)

---

Project Overview

COINGUIDE : a webapp that aims to guide crypto traders on the most popular Cryptocurrencies. It achieves this by fetching records from poloniex using their api, rating these records according to their buy orders.

Coinguide aims to keep traders informed about the popular coins (coins which the highest number of buy orders within a specific time range). A future goal of the project is to become a reliable platform that accurately ranks coins/tokens based on how much traders and buying a selling using a mathematical algorithms. Coinguide isn't a website that gives investors financial advise on which coin to buy or not, it simply gets the required data from crypto exchanges's api processes the data using an algorithm and tells users the coins gaining popularity and those loosing popularity.

New Features

I have received a number of request for some features to be added to coinguide, one of which is other market data like Ethereum, Neo and USDT. I will be adding these features to the available ones.

Coinguide now has HitBTC USDT market data. Users can now view BTC, ETH and USDT Market data from HitBTC

I added a bootstrap tab to help user switch from one market data to another as you can see above.

How I implemented this.

I started by fetching all available coins from HitBTC using the API endpoint https://api.hitbtc.com/api/public/getcurrencies , then i got the market symbols and currencypair for all having ETH as quoteCurrency using the endpoint https://api.hitbtc.com/api/2/public/symbol then i got the market summary for each for the coins using the endpoint https://api.hitbtc.com/api/public/getmarkethistory?market='.$currencypair.'&count=200

I analyzed and processed the data to produce the table above

<?php

function getCoins () {

    $coins = file_get_contents('https://api.hitbtc.com/api/2/public/currency');

    // Convert JSOn resource to object
    $coins = json_decode($coins);

    // Convert object to array
    $coins = json_decode(json_encode($coins) , TRUE);

    return $coins;

}

function getSummary () {

    $coins = file_get_contents('https://api.hitbtc.com/api/2/public/symbol');

    // Convert JSOn resource to object
    $coins = json_decode($coins);

    // Convert object to array
    $coins = json_decode(json_encode($coins) , TRUE);

    return $coins;

}

function getBuy ($currencypair) {

    $buy = file_get_contents('https://api.hitbtc.com/api/2/public/trades/'.$currencypair);

    // Convert JSOn resource to object
    $buy = json_decode($buy);

    // Convert object to array
    $buy = json_decode(json_encode($buy) , TRUE);

    return $buy;

}

function updateUsdtBuy ($buy, $currencypair)
{
    require '../database/database.php';
    $query = $pdo->prepare('UPDATE hibtcusdt SET current_buy = :buy WHERE currencypair = :currencypair');
    $query->bindParam(':currencypair' , $currencypair);
    $query->bindParam(':buy' , $buy);
    if ($query->execute()) {
        return true;
    }else {
      return false;
    }
}

function saveUsdtData ($coin, $symbol) {

    require '../database/database.php';
    $query = $pdo->prepare('INSERT into hibtcusdt (coin, symbol) values (:coin, :symbol)  ');
    $query->bindParam(':coin' , $coin);
    $query->bindParam(':symbol' , $symbol);

    if ($query->execute()) {

      return true;

    }else {

      return false;

    }

}

function updateUsdtTable ($symbol, $currencypair)
{
    require '../database/database.php';
    $query = $pdo->prepare('UPDATE hibtcusdt SET currencypair = :currencypair WHERE symbol = :symbol');
    $query->bindParam(':currencypair' , $currencypair);
    $query->bindParam(':symbol' , $symbol);
    if ($query->execute()) {
        return true;
    }else {
      return false;
    }
}

function updateTotalBuyUsdtMarket ($total_buy_trade)
{
    require '../database/database.php';
    $query = $pdo->prepare('UPDATE hibtcusdt SET total_buy_trade = :total_buy_trade');
    $query->bindParam(':total_buy_trade' , $total_buy_trade);
    if ($query->execute()) {
        return true;
    }else {
      return false;
    }
}

function getAllUsdtMarket ()
{
    require '../database/database.php';
    $query = $pdo->prepare('SELECT * FROM hibtcusdt ORDER BY buy DESC LIMIT 30');

    if ($query->execute()) {
      $data = $query->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
    }

      return $data;

}

I processed the data

<?php

require_once '../function/hitbtc.php';

$coins = getCoins();

foreach ($coins as $key => $coin) {

    if ($coin['delisted'] == false) {

      $coin_name = $coin['fullName'];
      $symbol = $coin['id'];

      $save_data = saveUsdtData ($coin_name , $symbol);

    }

}

$summary = getSummary();

foreach ($summary as $key => $coins) {

  if ($coins['quoteCurrency'] == "USD") {

      $symbol = $coins['baseCurrency'];
      $currencypair = $coins['id'];

      $update_data = updateUsdtTable ($symbol, $currencypair);

  }

}


$all = getAllUsdtMarket();

$total_buy_trade = 0;

foreach ($all as $key => $pair) {

    $currencypair = $pair['currencypair'];

    if (!empty($currencypair)) {

      $trades = getBuy ($currencypair);

      $buy = 0;

      foreach ($trades as $key => $trade) {

          if ($trade['side'] == "buy") {

              $buy = $buy + 1;

          }

      }

      $update = updateUsdtBuy ($buy, $currencypair);
      $total_buy_trade = $total_buy_trade + $buy;

    }

}

updateTotalBuyUsdtMarket ($total_buy_trade);

foreach ($all as $key => $value) {

    $total_buy_trade = $total_buy_trade + $value['current_buy'];

}

updateTotalBuyUsdtMarket ($total_buy_trade);

 ?>

I added bootstrap tabs to allow user switch from one market data to another

I will be adding Eth Market data from other exchanges whose BTC data is currently available before i move on to adding other exchanges which haven't been added.

I will also be refactoring the code base to improve code quality and software functionalities.
