Mac Touch Bar script to track the STEEM/SBD price

Early this morning, I read that @emrebeyler wrote a MacOS Status bar app to track the STEEM price. I thought it was a neat idea given that we are seeing some positive prices in the last couple of weeks. I have a MacBook Pro, so I whipped up a quick shell script to display this on the Touch Bar. It uses the 3rd party BetterTouchTool, jq (for json parsing) and the CoinGecko API (thanks @coingecko!):

It updates every 15 minutes and you can force an update by tapping on the prices itself. @themarkymark suggested in @emrebeyler's app that he also include the SBD price—so I have added this in my Touch Bar version. Hope you find this useful!

#! /bin/bash 
 
output=$(curl -s "https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/simple/price?ids=STEEM,STEEM-DOLLARS&vs_currencies=USD"); 
steem=$(echo $output | /usr/local/bin/jq ".steem.usd"); 
steem=$(printf "%0.2f" $steem) 
sbd=$(echo $output | /usr/local/bin/jq ".\"steem-dollars\".usd"); 
sbd=$(printf "%0.2f" $sbd) 
echo "STEEM \$$steem, SBD \$$sbd"
