Crypto Price Checker This script demonstrates the power of a clean, simple API. The API it uses—from coingecko —runs over HTTP, so it’s very portable and easy to support.

When we create a new application called ‘rxdata’, it will already have a default model called db.py, a default controller called default.py, and a default view called default/index.html.

I’ll create a new Python script file called prep_docs.py for this work. I could keep running Python code right within an R script by using the py_run_string() function as I did above.
