How to obtain ticker data for a specific crypto asset?

To use the TradingAPI REST API to obtain data for a specific ticker, follow these steps:

1. Endpoint: Use the Tickers endpoint: https://tradingapi.rest/v1/ticker/{exchange}
2. Replace {exchange} with the name of the exchange you want to get data from (e.g., "gate").
3. Required Parameters:
   • base: The base currency of the trading pair (e.g., "BTC")
   • quote: The quote currency of the trading pair (e.g., "USDT")
4. Required Headers:
   • X-API-KEY: Your API key
   • User-Agent: (optional) Your custom User Agent

import requests

url = "https://tradingapi.rest/v1/ticker/gate"  # Example using Gate.io exchange
params = {
    "base": "BTC",
    "quote": "USDT"
}
headers = {
    "X-API-KEY": "YOUR-API-KEY",
    "User-Agent": "YOUR-USER-AGENT"
}

response = requests.get(url, params=params, headers=headers)
data = response.json()
print(data)
