API

An API is also built using the cmc-py modules using FastAPI and Redis. Redis configurations can be set using the config.yml file, and it is used to cache the scraped data fetched through cmc-py. Redis server should be running in the background in order to cache API calls. An instance of the API is hosted on Heroku.
