Hey guys, I've been exploring the world of automated crypto trading and wanted to share my experience with you all. I've been learning about APIs and web scraping using Python, and it's been a wild ride. I'm excited to share what I've learned so far, and I'd love to hear from others who have used these methods too.

"Been experimenting with Zorro, has a pretty intuitive API for automated trading strategies. Anyone have experience with combining zipline and pandas for technical analysis? Thinking of implementing a moving average crossover bot"

"Hey OP, great thread! I've been playing around with APIs and web scraping myself, and I gotta say, it's a game-changer for algo trading. Has anyone tried using the CCXT library for easy API connections?"

"Lol love the thread title. Just a heads up, for beginners, the CCXT library is a great resource for interacting with various crypto exchanges using Python. Anyone have experience with it?"

"Yooo, just started diving into this and wanted to ask, has anyone else had any issues with the CoinGecko API being rate-limited when making multiple requests in quick succession? Also, what's the best library to use in Python for web scraping - Beautiful Soup or Scrapy?"

"Just got started with building my own crypto bot using Python and I gotta say, web scraping is a total game-changer for market data. Has anyone had experience with the CoinDesk API? Any tips on handling rate limits would be a huge help"

"Lol @ the title, this thread is old AF. Nevertheless, I've seen some solid tutorials on TradingView's API, might be worth checking out for a beginner-friendly intro to APIs. Anyone tried using their historical data for backtesting?"
