Have Bitcoin info delivered to your Slack team!
- Docker
- Incoming Webhook for your Slack team
The main thing to understand is that the script depends on SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL environment variable.
Here are two fairly easy ways to get going:
- Set-up an environment variable
SLACK_WEBHOOK_URLand then run./slackcoin - Run
SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL=https://your-webhook-url.com ./slackcoin
Voila!
You should see current Bitcoin value sent to your Slack team.
If you want more customization and more data, please see Advanced usage chapter.
There are more options you can use to customize your experience. All of the options can be customized through environment variables.
By default, only current Bitcoin data is delivered. If you want to customize this, TIMESTAMPS is the environment variable you have to modify.
Possible value: a string consisting of comma-separated values that can be provided as $time parameter to PHP's DateTime
Example usage
TIMESTAMPS="yesterday, 3 days ago, 7 days ago, 30 days ago" ./slackcoin
By default, USD currency is being used.
If you want to use something else, just modify CURRENCY environment variable.
Example usage
CURRENCY=EUR ./slackcoin
If you provide multiple timestamps in TIMESTAMPS variable, by default all values are displayed each on their own line.
If you want them to be displayed side-by-side, set INLINE to true (or anything else that PHP considers truthy).
Example usage
INLINE=true ./slackcoin
By default, Slackcoin will calculate a relative price percentage for all the past timestamps in relation to the current price.
To see to what degree the current price has increased or decreased, set the PRICE_CHANGE_DIFF variable to true.
Example usage
PRICE_CHANGE_DIFF=true ./slackcoin
Specify LOCALE env variable to have price and numbers formatted in desired locale.
Example usage LOCALE=en_US or LOCALE=hr_HR
Of course you can combine these as you like. One example I personally use is:
CURRENCY=EUR INLINE=true LOCALE=hr_HR TIMESTAMPS="yesterday, 7 days ago, 30 days ago" ./slackcoin
And here's how it looks
It just fetches data from Coinbase's API and sends it nicely formatted to your Slack channel. That's it.
