Live Crypto Prices allows you to display real-time cryptocurrency prices on your WordPress site using the CoinGecko API.
The plugin provides multiple display formats including:
No API key is required because CoinGecko provides a free public API.
Basic ticker shortcode:
[wlcp_ticker]
Price list:
[wlcp_list]
Price table:
[wlcp_table]
Tabbed crypto view:
[wlcp_tabs]<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to the CoinGecko API (https://www.coingecko.com/) to retrieve live cryptocurrency price data that is displayed on the website via shortcodes.
The plugin sends HTTP GET requests to the CoinGecko API when the shortcode is rendered on the frontend or when price data is refreshed. The requests may include cryptocurrency identifiers and currency parameters required to fetch the relevant price information.
No personal user data is sent to CoinGecko. The API requests are made server-side using WordPress HTTP functions.
