"Yooo fellow devs, I'm itching to automate my crypto tracking game and I need your help. Has anyone built a DIY web scraper specifically for Bitcoin prices using a tool like BeautifulSoup or Scrapy? I'm thinking it's time to get creative and ditch those clumsy APIs"

"Yup, I've been meaning to try out BeautifulSoup for web scraping. Just wondering, what kind of accuracy are we looking at with this method, and how would you integrate it with a db to keep track of historical prices?"

"Yooo, just threw together a simple scraper using BeautifulSoup and found that the CoinGecko API is way more reliable for live prices. Don't get me wrong, the DIY approach is cool, but the pros are doing it for a reason. anyone having issues with coinmarketcap's API limits?"
