Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use Rate.sx when a quick terminal query or historical exchange-rate chart is more useful than opening a dedicated market interface.

Who it is for

  • People who want exchange-rate lookups from a shell using curl.
  • Users comparing crypto and fiat rates or inspecting historical price movements.

Documented uses

  • Check current cryptocurrency rates and market capitalization for the top ten coins.
  • Request rates in a chosen fiat currency.
  • View a cryptocurrency’s exchange-rate history over a selected interval.
  • Use documented query formats to compare combinations of currencies or cryptocurrencies.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The README says the hosted console service needs no installation and can also be opened in a browser. It separately documents server installation.

  • USD is the default quote currency; another currency can be selected through the subdomain or query.
  • Historical data defaults to the last 24 hours and accepts interval or date-range notation.
  • The README warns that its single-amount conversion example is currently unsupported.
  • Self-hosting requires a data source, in addition to the documented Python setup and optional HTTP frontend.

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

Look up rates and request a historical chart with curl

Query current cryptocurrency rates or a coin’s historical exchange-rate chart from a shell.

Before you start

  • A shell with curl available
  • Internet access to the Rate.sx service

Steps

  1. Run the command below to request current rates and market capitalization for the top ten cryptocurrencies, quoted in USD by default.

    Documented command
    curl rate.sx

  2. Use a currency subdomain such as the command below to request rates in euros.

    Documented command
    curl eur.rate.sx

  3. For a historical chart, query a coin and interval, such as the command below.

    Documented command
    curl rate.sx/eth@30d

Expected outcome

The service returns current rate information or a graphical representation of the requested historical rate.

Guide limitations

  • The README warns that the single-amount conversion example is currently unsupported.
  • Historical interval syntax must follow a supported format; the README documents interval notation.
