Crypto Price & Chart

Get cryptocurrency token price and generate candlestick charts.

Usage

Execute the script with token symbol and optional duration:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/get_price_chart.py <SYMBOL> [duration]

Examples:

• python3 {baseDir}/scripts/get_price_chart.py HYPE
• python3 {baseDir}/scripts/get_price_chart.py HYPE 12h
• python3 {baseDir}/scripts/get_price_chart.py BTC 3h
• python3 {baseDir}/scripts/get_price_chart.py ETH 30m
• python3 {baseDir}/scripts/get_price_chart.py SOL 2d

Duration format: 30m, 3h, 12h, 24h (default), 2d

Output

Returns JSON with:

• price - Current price in USD/USDT
• change_period_percent - Price change percentage for the period
• chart_path - Path to generated PNG chart (if available)
• text_plain - Formatted text description

Chart as image (always when chart_path is present):
You must send the chart as a photo, not as text. In your reply, output text_plain and on a new line: MEDIA: followed by the exact chart_path value (e.g. MEDIA: /tmp/crypto_chart_HYPE_1769204734.png). Clawdbot will attach that file as an image. Do not write [chart: path] or any other text placeholder — only the MEDIA: <chart_path> line makes the image appear.
