MMM-CoinMarketCap unable to get data

[AvatarED007]

I updated to new version, and requested the API Key, Changed the config file and added the apiKey from CoinMarketCap.com. Also rebooted the MagicMirror.
I still get the message : “Please provide an API key”

Does any one know a other Module to run.
I need the coins with graph and the tendency in color (red, green).

[AvatarED007]

You have to change the Documentation an move the apiKey to the config part.
In the java-script you check on self.config.apiKey

Have you solve the problem?

In my case it is loading… all the time.

For anyone that finds this topic while trying to trouble shoot constant loading:

Where it says: ‘your api key here’

Change it to double quotes: “your api key here”

Doing this made the module work for me.

Hey guxy,

could someone please post how it works? I updated all, got a new APIkey but it still dont work.

My code in config.js:

{
module: ‘MMM-CoinMarketCap’,
position: “top_left”,
header: “Crypto”,
config: {
apiKey: ‘APIKEY APIKEY’,
currencies: [‘bitcoin’, ‘ethereum’, ‘litecoin’, ‘stellar’],
view: ‘graphWithChanges’,
conversion: ‘EUR’,
}
},

[ftap]

@TheRedhawk

Replace ‘APIKEY’, with “APIKEY”,

@ftap which quote doesnt matter

careful , dont use quotes that are curved, which are word processing. mm requires text type

single or dual

[TheRedhawk]

Hi there, thanks.
Got it, i did the edit in Greany… this dont work. User the text editor and it runs. :-)

[ftap]

@sdetweil Ah, it didn’t work with single quotes for me. Double quotes fixed it.

shrug

[TheRedhawk]

Hm, it only works once. After the next reboot/Refresh got the same “unable to get date”.
What is wrong? Could someone help me here? Mybe with a remot session… I really dont know what the problem is.

@TheRedhawk Post up the module portion of the config file. Might be an error in there.

Hi ftap,
it is still the same. it is the only module im running now, even if i change the ’ into " it dont work. If i use any other module with API’s like “mmm-weatherforcast or mmm-fuel etc.” everything works fine. It’s only this module.

Nodejs = v15.6.0.
MagicMirror = v2.14.0
npm = v7.4.0

var config = {
	address: "localhost", 
	port: 8080,
	basePath: "/",
	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"],
	useHttps: false, 	// Support HTTPS or not, default "false" will use HTTP
	httpsPrivateKey: "", 	// HTTPS private key path, only require when useHttps is true
	httpsCertificate: "", 	// HTTPS Certificate path, only require when useHttps is true

	language: "de",
	timeFormat: 24,
	units: "metric",
	logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR"],

	modules: [
		{
        	module: 'MMM-CoinMarketCap',
           	position: "top_left",
            	header: "Crypto",
            	config: {
                	apiKey: 'myapikey12345678980',
                	currencies: ['bitcoin', 'ethereum', 'litecoin', 'stellar'],
                	view: 'graphWithChanges',
                	conversion: 'EUR',
       	     		}
        	},
	       ]
};

@TheRedhawk Strange, I wonder why mine breaks with single quotes. If I change mine back to single quotes, it won’t load.
