API for DASH exchange rate

[zoepfe]

Hi there

I'm looking for an API to get the current value of DASH. I'm using the yahoo finance API for other cryptocurrencys. There I can make a request to get the exchange rate from e.g. 1 BTC to USD.

Unfortunately DASH seems not been listed by yahoo. Do you known any API where I can make such kind of request for free?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @zoepfe

Hoping that this pastebin can help you :

It allows you to, using cryptocompare API, have a fetching of BTC price using syntax way :

rates['BTC']=(await cryptocompare.priceOf('BTC').in('USD').fetch()).USD.toString();

(I didn't referenced requesterJSON, because such a feature can be done using axios, requestify or similar library)
