Hello Everyone! Today we are going to create a website which gives us current price of any crypto currency listed on coingecko. For this project we are going to use Coingecko API Free version.
HTML
We have to use two <select>. In the first <select> we create some <options>,which user select to get current price of Cryptocurrency(for example: bitcoin, ethereum etc.) and in the second <select> we create <options> for currency (example: usd, inr etc.)
We also need to create a button, onclick we call our API.

You can style your webpage as according to you. My CSS code for this project is given below
*{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;

height: 100vh;
width: 100vw;
background: url(/5499459.jpg);

grid-template-columns: 25% 50% 25%;
grid-template-rows: 25% 30% 20% 25%;
grid-template-areas:
"header header header"
". inputs ."
". outputs ."
"footer footer footer";
}
#header{
grid-area: header;
display: grid;
place-items: center;
}

border-radius: 2em;
}

z-index: 1;

}
select{

width: 5rem;
border: 2px solid #9eeaf0;
color: black;
border-radius: 2em;
font-size: 1em;
height: 2em;
width: 5em;
}
select:hover{
background: #9eeaf0;
}
option{
color: black;
}
JavaScript
This is the most important part of this project.
Grab the all important elements.
let price = document.getElementById('price');
let btn = document.getElementById('btn');
let cryptoInp = document.querySelector('#crypto');
let currencyInp = document.querySelector('#currency');
Now add an event listener to btn which fire getPrice() function
btn.addEventListener('click',getPrice);
Now we'll write our getPrice() fuunction. We use AJAX for this project.
function getPrice() {
let crypto = cryptoInp.value;
let currency = currencyInp.value;
let xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET','https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/simple/price?ids='+crypto+'&vs_currencies='+currency);
xhr.onload = function(){
if (this.status == 200) {
data = JSON.parse(this.responseText);
price.innerHTML = "Current Price is "+data[crypto][currency]+" "+currency;
price.style.display = 'block';
}else{
price.innerHTML = 'Error'
}
}
xhr.send();
}
I hope you loved it. If yes , then drop a like and support my work.
