NOTICE

This project was created as a fork from the original project to rewrite how the indicator is displayed.

• All the currencies are now shown in just one indicator (keeps top bar cleaner).
• First indicator in the settings will be the one displayed by default. To change it just reorder currencies in settings.
• The symbols are now shown at the right of the currency value instead of the left.

I'm new to gnome extension and pretty noob in development in general so expect possible bugs.

Using Coinmarketcap

If you intend to use Coinmarketcap as a source to fetch data, you'll need to provide an API key. At the moment it is read from this file:

~/.coinmarketcap_apikey

If the file does not exist, you'll get a 401 unauthorized error when fetching from this origin.
