A tiny status bar widget for OS X that displays the latest spot prices from several tickers

btcbar's Issues

BitFenix API returning too many redirects

Publish an OSS licensed version

Probably just going to end up publishing this under MIT license, seems like the trendy thing to do.

HuobiCNY ticker is broken

Looks like they changed their API up a little bit

Automatically try refreshing tickers on network status update

Chrome does this, so can we.

Since the refresh time was extended to 60 seconds, you may have to wait for awhile after connecting to a network before the tickers update. A refresh could be triggered automatically with something like reachability.

Ticker-update frequency too high.

App updates all tickers ever 10 seconds.
At least some tickers (e.g. WinkDex) request that API hits are limited to no more than once per 60 seconds -- and they may block apps that disrespect it.

Suggest changing the default rate to 60 seconds.

If someone needs to see an exchange rate in real-time (e.g. traders) they would probably be using a separate browser window or dedicated app for that.

Support BIttrex

Please support Bittrex

Coinbase API has changed

Intermittent crashing from uncaught exception

Seeing 3-4 crashes a week on my own machine due to:

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[NSNull objectForKey:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fffc292c0e0'
terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException
abort() called

Need to examine calls to objectForKey and make sure they fail gracefully, I suspect this is due to a fetcher occasionally getting null back from an API when btcbar is expecting valid JSON.

add please www.bitcoin.com

add please www.bitcoin.com, i send you $5 in btc cash :)

Coinbase API access issues

I've got a note into Coinbase support to see why btcbar's user agent isn't getting responses.

Add support for CEX.io

Fantastic and simple tool as is, would love to see CEX.io support added as it's the exchange I use most.

Standardize Commas in Prices

Some prices have commas in them and some don't:

Remove BTC-e

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Winkdex API connection trouble

It looks like Winkdex may have gone away - we should double check and remove the fetcher if necessary.

Huobi USD ticker fails

The existing spot price API we're using 404s now.

I can't really understand too much of their API docs - if anyone has any insight on how I can get a USD spot price from a REST endpoint, I can fix this pretty quick. I can't tell if they even support USD anymore...

Minor: digits cut off when app first launches.

Under OS X 10.10.5, when first launching BTCBar, the $XXX amount is slightly cut-off (does not display fully.) This occurs regardless of which exchange is selected.

This resolves itself after the first round of updates, i.e. after about 10 seconds. But it might be nice to fix this to keep the app looking polished.

Price is showing in euro

v2.1.2. My local currency is euro and the latest dollar price is showing with a € prefix instead of $:

Disable NSURLRequest caching

Haven't quite figured out how, but something in the request cache caused BitFenix to return a 404 after the first successful response, and then infinite 301s after that... Didn't realize that NSURLRequest was doing so much stuff under the hood.

Remove OKCoin

Icon disappears during error

Accidentally overlooked that the error state still triggers an icon change to an image that no longer exists... Oops.

Nice Project! Could you add BitYep Price?

Thanks!

Indicator for price trend

Adding an indicator if the price is trending up or down would be nice. Maybe an arrow, or change the color of the bitcoin symbol green or red depending on direction.

Add auto-update functionality

It would be nice to be able to push out updates.

Add Kraken
