Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use its repository as a reference for ticker configuration or setup details, not for live market monitoring: the README says the application is nonfunctional after the Cryptowatch API sunset.

Who it is for

  • Developers examining a configurable terminal-based cryptocurrency ticker.
  • Readers seeking a documented example of market selection and price-history settings.

Documented uses

  • Select cryptocurrency markets for a ticker display.
  • Set a polling interval and configure how many recent ticks to show.
  • Adjust whether price changes appear and how movement thresholds are represented.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and identifies an MIT license. The README documents global npm installation.

  • The project is a CLI application, not a graphical market dashboard.
  • Its documented data source, the Cryptowatch public API, has been sunset and the README says the application no longer works.
  • A replacement market-data integration is not documented; adapting one would require modification.
  • History settings include tick count, price-change display, thresholds and movement symbols.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Install and configure Crypticker

Set up the documented package and review its market and history options.

Before you start

  • npm

Steps

  1. Install the package globally with npm.

  2. Locate the package options file using the documented global npm installation directory.

  3. Review options for markets, polling interval and history display; the README documents copying options.json to ~/.crypticker to preserve preferences.

Expected outcome

The package is installed and its documented configuration can be reviewed or saved in the home directory.

Guide limitations

  • The README says Crypticker is not functional because the Cryptowatch API has been sunset.
  • This setup does not restore live market data.
