btcticker

Bitcoin ticker rendering with a provider-based price backend.

Config

btcticker now defaults to the pyccxt backend. The main price settings are:

[Main]
price_provider = pyccxt
exchange = kraken
symbol = BTC/EUR
usd_symbol = BTC/USD
ccxt_timeout = 30000
price_refresh_seconds = 10

If symbol is empty, btcticker derives it from fiat as BTC/<FIAT>.

Legacy price_service configs are no longer supported. Migrate them to price_provider=pyccxt plus explicit exchange, symbol, and usd_symbol values.

CLI Config Selection

Config selection flags work globally for all commands:

btcticker --config my_config.ini text
btcticker --config my_config.ini image --output ticker.png
btcticker --config my_config.ini download
btcticker --config my_config.ini config edit

You can also use:

btcticker --local text
btcticker --global image

Only one of --config, --local, or --global may be used at a time.

For compatibility, command-local forms still work too:

btcticker text --config my_config.ini
btcticker image --local
btcticker config --global
