Crypto Price & Chart

Get cryptocurrency token price and generate candlestick charts.

Usage

Execute the script with token symbol and optional duration:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/get_price_chart.py <SYMBOL> [duration]

Examples:

• python3 {baseDir}/scripts/get_price_chart.py HYPE
• python3 {baseDir}/scripts/get_price_chart.py HYPE 12h
• python3 {baseDir}/scripts/get_price_chart.py BTC 3h
• python3 {baseDir}/scripts/get_price_chart.py ETH 30m
• python3 {baseDir}/scripts/get_price_chart.py SOL 2d

Duration format: 30m, 3h, 12h, 24h (default), 2d

Output

Returns JSON with:

• price - Current price in USD/USDT
• change_period_percent - Price change percentage for the period
• chart_path - Path to generated PNG chart (if available)
• text_plain - Formatted text description

Chart as image (always when chart_path is present): In OpenClaw, send the image via message tool (not plain text placeholder):

1. Copy from /tmp to workspace: cp <chart_path> ./crypto_chart_<SYMBOL>_<duration>.png
2. Send: message(action="send", filePath="./crypto_chart_<SYMBOL>_<duration>.png", message="<text_plain>")
3. MANDATORY cleanup — run both commands regardless of send result:
   • rm ./crypto_chart_<SYMBOL>_<duration>.png
   • rm <chart_path>
4. Reply NO_REPLY.

Do not skip step 3. Files left in workspace accumulate and waste disk space.
