I'm working on coinmarketcap.com api and I need only name and price and save to Mongo. It is working but at the end undefined value returned. Price value is under the quote. What is wrong ?
const axios = require('axios');
let response = null;
new Promise(async (resolve, reject) => {
try {
response = await axios.get('https://pro-api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/cryptocurrency/listings/latest?limit=2', {
headers: {
'X-CMC_PRO_API_KEY': 'myKey',
},
});
} catch(ex) {
response = null;
console.log(ex);
reject(ex);
}
if (response) {
const coin = response.data;
console.dir(coin, { depth: null });
console.log(coin.data.map(a => { a.name, a.quote.price}));
resolve(coin);
}
}
);
You shuldn't be wrapping this in another Promise (see: What is the explicit promise construction antipattern and how do I avoid it?) , just make a method which is async
async function getCoin(){
try {
const response = await axios.get('https://pro-api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/cryptocurrency/listings/latest?limit=2', {
headers: {
'X-CMC_PRO_API_KEY': 'YOURKEY',
},
});
const coin = response.data;
console.dir(coin, { depth: null });
return coin;
} catch(ex) {
console.log(ex);
throw ex;
}
}
quote contains prices identified by their keys like this:
"quote": {
"USD": {
"price": 42177.91536878145,
"volume_24h": 18068350418.6717,
"volume_change_24h": 8.1323,
"percent_change_1h": -0.02144759,
"percent_change_24h": -0.48235688,
"percent_change_7d": -0.65364542,
"percent_change_30d": -1.87762517,
"percent_change_60d": -13.80076009,
"percent_change_90d": -30.24448455,
"market_cap": 799599134284.9932,
"market_cap_dominance": 42.7605,
"fully_diluted_market_cap": 885736222744.41,
"last_updated": "2022-02-14T09:35:00.000Z"
}
}
so in order to solve the bug, you need to specify the proper key here (USD for example):
I tested this code and it works please copy it inside the separate js file and check the result(Replace your API key):
const axios = require('axios');
let response = null;
async function getCoin(){
try {
const response = await axios.get('https://pro-api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/cryptocurrency/listings/latest?limit=2', {
headers: {
'X-CMC_PRO_API_KEY': 'KEY',
},
});
const coin = response.data;
const result = coin.data.map(a => ({ name: a.name, price: a.quote['USD'].price}))
console.log(result)
return coin;
} catch(ex) {
console.log(ex);
throw ex;
}
}
getCoin()
const axios = require("axios");
async function fetchData() {
try {
const response = await axios.get(
"https://pro-api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/cryptocurrency/listings/latest?limit=2",
{
headers: {
"X-CMC_PRO_API_KEY": "myKey",
},
}
);
return [response, null];
} catch (error) {
return [null, error];
}
}
// in your calling function code base
const [response,error] = await fetchData()
if(response){
// handle response object in calling code base
const coin = response.data
}
if(error){
// handle error explictly in calling code base
}
