Javascript & PHP to monitor cryptocurrency prices on HitBTC

If you have an important trade you wish to monitor and be notified by a sound when the last trade matched or exceeded the amount specified the following will achieve this: First: Install WAMP Server (Free): https://sourceforge.net/projects/wampserver/ This is required to avoid "CORS": Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) is a mechanism that allows restricted resources on a web page to be requested from another domain outside the domain from which the first resource was served. The HTML & JavaScript below call a PHP file which calls: https://api.hitbtc.com/api/2/public/ticker/DGBBTC Load this to see the data returned. You can adjust the "DGBBTC" to match any coin/currency you wish to monitor for your trade. DGB is the cryptocurrency and BTC is the currency pair in this example. Create a folder "pricewatch" in the wamp "www" folder. Place the following files [index.htm, getprice.php and any two sound files (adjust the sound files in the html)] in the "pricewatch" folder. In the html file (file 1 of 2) below you can set your sale price in the variable: fPrice The sounds can be downloaded here: https://www.soundsnap.com/tags/whoop_there_it_is https://www.soundsnap.com/search/audio/error/score A) Create a HTML file called "index.htm" as per below:

B) Create "getprice.php" in a text editor and place next to index.html.  This is the code that returns the lastprice from hitbtc to the html file.

    

C) Launch WAMP and load in your browser: http://localhost/pricewatch/index.htm

*** Click the page when loaded *** to activate it and then sit back and wait for your sale to go through!
