Anyone know how to do this? Just looking to pull in price data for certain cryptos into google sheets.
Answer
You can use the built-in funcion GOOGLEFINANCE.
Examples
Bitcoin: =GOOGLEFINANCE("CURRENCY:BTCUSD") : $54,348.20
Etherum: =GOOGLEFINANCE("CURRENCY:ETHUSD"): $2,614.33
Litecoin: =GOOGLEFINANCE("CURRENCY:LTCUSD"): $254.00
Euro: =GOOGLEFINANCE("CURRENCY:EURUSD") : $1.21
More features
I recommend you to take a look to the documentation of the function, as it has different features that can be helpful to you. For example, you can creates a chart inside a cell to display the currency exchange trend in a specific time range.
You can use Binance and this function
function pricePair(currencyPair) {
var url = 'https://api3.binance.com/api/v3/ticker/price?symbol=' + currencyPair;
var reponse = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
var json = reponse.getContentText();
var data = JSON.parse(json);
return data.price;
}
with parameter currencyPair as BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT, DOGEUSDT, ...
To add to the previous answers
Google Finance is quite limited, with only a few of the biggest coins being tracked.
In alternative, use a proper API which gives you an easy to use endpoint, example:
=IMPORTDATA("https://cryptoprices.cc/BTC/")

I tried Importhtml ("https://nepsealpha.com/investment-calandar/dividend","table",) and then Importxml("https://nepsealpha.com/investment-calandar/dividend",xpath). I found out xpath from "selectorgadget" extension of googlechrome, but still couldn't import it. It shows either "empty content" or formula parse error".
You can retrieve quite all the informations this way
=importxml(url,"//div/#data-page")
and then parse the json.
By script : =getData("https://nepsealpha.com/investment-calandar/dividend")
function getData(url) {
var from='data-page="'
var to='"></div></body>'
var jsonString = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url).getContentText().split(from)[1].split(to)[0].replace(/"/g,'"')
var json = JSON.parse(jsonString).props.today_prices_summary.top_volume
var headers = Object.keys(json[0]);
return ([headers, ...json.map(obj => headers.map(header => obj[header]))]);
}
edit
to update periodically, add this script
function update(){
var chk = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheets()[0].getRange('A1')
chk.setValue(!chk.getValue())
}
put a trigger as you wish on the update function and change as follows
=getData("https://nepsealpha.com/investment-calandar/dividend",$A$1)
I know that's not the answer you want to see.
It's impossible to get any content from this website using IMPORTXML or other tools included in Google Sheets.
It's generated using Javascript. Once Javascript is disabled no content is displayed:
It's done on purpose. Financial companies pay for live stock data and they don't want to share it with us for free.
So the site is protected against tools like importxml.
I want to import in google sheet data from https://www.coinspeaker.com/ieo/feed/
function callCoinSpeaker() {
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://www.coinspeaker.com/ieo/feed/");
Logger.log(response.getContentText());
var fact = response.getContentText();
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
sheet.getRange(1,1).setValue([fact]);
}
The script works fine, but I don't know how to format the output that is all in a single cell (A1).
I would like to create a code that automatically format the output splitting into column and row. Any example of formatting output from API request?Thanks ALL!
What I think about your issue in when you're making a GET request to your link, the response is back as a string.
To be able to use the data, you should parse your response with the method JSON.parse(fact)
Use Logger.Log(JSON.parse(fact)) to see what is happening.
I am new to Google Sheets, and I have a Google Sheet that I have set up to dynamically place the present date in cell A1 and the time in cell A2. The sheet is "published to the web", and "Settings/Calculation" is set to Recalculate change every minute.
That all works fine, but I want to be able to read these values from the sheet using an API call. Also works perfectly, the FIRST TIME. Unfortunately, every time I try to call it again, I get the same answer as the first time, even a day later.
I'm using:
=int(hour(now()))&":"&int(minute(now()))&" "&int(SECOND(now()))
as the formula. I should also add that it's a JSON file that I'm reading and it is updating properly on the actual sheet.
I'm sure that I am missing something. Can someone please tell me what it is?
Thanks in advance.
may be you are not reading the JSON correctly. This give me correct result every time I run it.
function myFunction(){
var url = "https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/cells/1TtXe1JXKsxHKUWb3bqniHkLQB0Po1fSUqsiib2yMv90/1/public/values?alt=json";
try{
var sh = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName("Sheet1");
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url)
var str = response.getContentText();
var data = JSON.parse(response);
var entry = data.feed.entry;
sh.getRange(1, 1).setValue(entry[0].content.$t);
sh.getRange(1, 2).setValue(entry[1].content.$t);
}catch(e){
Logger.log(e);
}
}
You need to check the size of "entry" before reading it, I just wanted to show that it works.
Thanks
I want my SAPUI5 ODataModel to send OData requests of the form
https://<my-server>/<my-service>/<my-resource>?search='lalaland'
There are tons of examples how to add a filter with model.filter(new Filter(...)); but this is not what I want. Filtering means I directly address a certain property with a certain comparator. Searching means I address the resource in general and let the OData service decide which properties to search, and how.
The one thing that seems to be possible is:
model.bindRows(..., { "customData": {"search": "lalaland"}});
But this is also not what I want because that sets the search term once when the model is created, but cannot update it later on when the user enters.
Funnily, SAPUI5's own implementation of the SmartTable performs exactly the kind of query I want - but doesn't reveal a possibility how I could do that without a SmartTable.
Found one solution:
oList = this.byId("list"); // or oTable
oBindingInfo = oList.getBindingInfo("items"); // or "rows"
if (!oBindingInfo.parameters) {
oBindingInfo.parameters = {};
}
if (!oBindingInfo.parameters.custom) {
oBindingInfo.parameters.custom = {};
}
oBindingInfo.parameters.custom.search = sValue;
oList.bindItems(oBindingInfo);
However, I don't specifically like the bindItems part. Looks a bit over-the-top to require this to re-bind the whole entity set again and again. So leaving this question open in case somebody has a better idea.
You can use on bindItems or bindRows depending what control is, something like this:
oList = this.byId("list");
oList.bindItems({path: '/XXXX', parameters : {custom: {'search':'searchstring'}}})
Why does it has to be $search and not $filter?
The OData V4 Tutorial in SAPUI5's Demo Kit uses
onSearch : function () {
var oView = this.getView(),
sValue = oView.byId("searchField").getValue(),
oFilter = new Filter("LastName", FilterOperator.Contains, sValue);
oView.byId("peopleList").getBinding("items").filter(oFilter, FilterType.Application);
},
I'm Extremely new to this and I've been trying to get the title of each unique forum page (or topic) here is the code I have so far:
function GraalGet() {
//parses forums for ALL posts one by one, extract <title> from HTML webpage
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var i = 31
var url = "http://www.graalians.com/forums/showthread.php?p="+i;
//var params = {method : "post"}; can this be used at all?
//The aim: loop this once you can get 1 result.
var geturl = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url).getContentText(); //maybe .getContentText should be elsewhere?
var parseurl = Xml.parse(geturl, true); //confirmed - this is true because it wont parse HTML if false
var titleinfo = parseurl.getElement().getElement("html"); //.getElement('body');//.getElements("title");
sheet.appendRow([titleinfo, i]);
}
In addition the script would write down the topic number in the adjoining cell.
There's a lot of answered questions about extracting XML data, and this example is about parsing HTML but I couldn't pull up any results - I'm honestly stumped and any help about finding and extracting the tag will be appreciated. (If you have the time, please feel free to explain as well, but I'll be thankful for any help really.)
For reference I have used these:
Google's Kevin Bacon Script
The authors comments on bugs with the script & some explanation
I'm sorry if I'm being pedantic, this is my first post & I don't want to anger anyone, please do tell me if I've broken any rules, I'll do my best to fix them. I've left the comments I made for myself for your perusal too.
You can use Logger.log to print out debugging information. I did this with your function and figured out that the title tag is embedded within the tag. So you should use something like this. Also, getElement returns an XmlElement object which you should convert to String using getText().
var titleinfo = parseurl.getElement().getElement('head').getElement('title');
sheet.appendRow([titleinfo.getText(), i]);
