Crypto Price & Chart
Get cryptocurrency token price and generate candlestick charts.
Usage
Execute the script with token symbol and optional duration:
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/get_price_chart.py <SYMBOL> [duration]
Examples:
- python3 {baseDir}/scripts/get_price_chart.py HYPE
- python3 {baseDir}/scripts/get_price_chart.py HYPE 12h
- python3 {baseDir}/scripts/get_price_chart.py BTC 3h
- python3 {baseDir}/scripts/get_price_chart.py ETH 30m
- python3 {baseDir}/scripts/get_price_chart.py SOL 2d
Duration format: 30m, 3h, 12h, 24h (default), 2d
Output
Returns JSON with:
- price - Current price in USD/USDT
- change_period_percent - Price change percentage for the period
- chart_path - Path to generated PNG chart (if available)
- text_plain - Formatted text description
Chart as image (always when chart_path is present):
You must send the chart as a photo, not as text. In your reply, output text_plain and on a new line: MEDIA: followed by the exact chart_path value (e.g. MEDIA: /tmp/crypto_chart_HYPE_1769204734.png). Clawdbot will attach that file as an image. Do not write [chart: path] or any other text placeholder — only the MEDIA: <chart_path> line makes the image appear.
