Learn to add the current value of Bitcoin on your website only with javascript

Today we are going to learn how to consume the API that it provides us https://www.coindesk.com in order to add the current value of Bitcoin to our website

To do this, we will first go to the coindesk website at the following link https://www.coindesk.com/coindesk-api

Our Html would look like this:

<head> 
    <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com"> 
    <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Oxygen:wght@300&display=swap" rel="stylesheet"> 
</head> 
<body> 
</body>

Our css would look like this:

*, 
*::before, 
*::after{ 
  box-sizing: border-box; 
  margin: 0; 
} 
body { 
  font-family: 'Oxygen', sans-serif; 
  font-weight: 700; 
  color : #c00; 
} 
div { 
    padding: 10px; 
    background-color: #ededed; 
} 
b { 
    font-size:.7em; 
    padding-left:1em; 
}

And most importantly the .JS :

<pre class="gatsby-code"><code class="gatsby-code">async function main() { 
const result = await fetch('https://api.coindesk.com/v1/bpi/currentprice.json') 
const data = await result.json() 
const div = document.createElement('div') 
const price = data.bpi.USD.rate.split('.') 
const act = document.createElement('b') 
act.innerText = `Updated on ${data.time.updated}` 
div.innerText = `Bitcoin : ${price[0]} $` 
div.append(act) 
document.body.append(div)

} main()

With this we have the tutorial ready, now you can have the current value of bitcoin on your website.
