Need GLD/USD Price Script for Gold Club backend

[MicroGuy]

Our friends at Gold Club need a PHP snippet that will provide the GLD/USD price in real time. In order to get an accurate price, I was thinking they should use the Coindesk Price Index API for the BTC/USD price and the C-CEX API for the GLD/BTC price.

I've managed to find those pieces of code, now we just need to tie the two together to calculate the GLD/USD price.

BTC/USD Code

Code: [Select]

<?php

// request data from coindesk.com
$request_coindesk = json_decode(file_get_contents('http://api.coindesk.com/v1/bpi/currentprice/USD.json'), TRUE);
// check if coindesk.com is up
if ( isset($request_coindesk) )
{
// get the last price
$price_last = $request_coindesk['bpi']['USD']['rate'];
}

else
{
// if coindesk.com is down, send an email and request data from blockchain.info
mail('[email protected]', 'Downtime', "Notice: Coindesk seems to be down.", 'From: [email protected]');
$request_blockchain_info = json_decode(file_get_contents('http://blockchain.info/ticker'), TRUE);
// check if blockchain.info is up
if ( isset($request_blockchain_info) )
{
// get the last price
$price_last = $request_blockchain_info['USD']['last']; 
}
else
{
// if coindesk and blockchain.info are down, send an email and set the last price to 1000 temporarily.
mail('[email protected]', 'Downtime', "Warning: blockchain.info seems to be down too!", 'From: [email protected]');
$price_last = 1000;
}
}
GLD/BTC Price

Code: [Select]

// request data from c-cex.com
$request_ccex = json_decode(file_get_contents('https://c-cex.com/t/gld-btc.json'), TRUE);
// check if c-cex.com is up
if ( isset($request_ccex) )
{
// get the last price
$price_last = $request_ccex['ticker']['avg'];
}

else
{
// if c-cex is down, send an email and set price to .015 temporarily
mail('[email protected]', 'Downtime', "Notice: C-CEX.com seems to be down.", 'From: [email protected]');
$price_last = .015;
}

This code may work (as there might a a bug or two), but it has the general idea:

This PHP code can go in its own file and then be included in the HTML file that the information is needed.

To display the price then simply put this line in the HTML file in the place that the price should be displayed:

Code: [Select]

<?php echo getGLDPrice() ?>

The code that calculates the price of GLD in USD.

Code: [Select]

<?php

function getGLDPrice()
{
// request data from coindesk.com
$request_coindesk = json_decode(file_get_contents('http://api.coindesk.com/v1/bpi/currentprice/USD.json'), TRUE);
// check if coindesk.com is up
if ( isset($request_coindesk) )
{
// get the last price
$price_last = $request_coindesk['bpi']['USD']['rate'];
}

else
{
// if coindesk.com is down, send an email and request data from blockchain.info
mail('[email protected]', 'Downtime', "Notice: Coindesk seems to be down.", 'From: [email protected]');
$request_blockchain_info = json_decode(file_get_contents('http://blockchain.info/ticker'), TRUE);
// check if blockchain.info is up
if ( isset($request_blockchain_info) )
{
// get the last price
$price_last = $request_blockchain_info['USD']['last']; 
}
else
{
// if coindesk and blockchain.info are down, send an email and set the last price to 1000 temporarily.
mail('[email protected]', 'Downtime', "Warning: blockchain.info seems to be down too!", 'From: [email protected]');
$price_last = 1000;
}

return getGLDPriceInBTC() * $price_last;
}

function getGLDPriceInBTC()
{
// request data from c-cex.com
$request_ccex = json_decode(file_get_contents('https://c-cex.com/t/gld-btc.json'), TRUE);
// check if c-cex.com is up
if ( isset($request_ccex) )
{
// get the last price
$price_last = $request_ccex['ticker']['avg'];
}

else
{
// if c-cex is down, send an email and set price to .015 temporarily
mail('[email protected]', 'Downtime', "Notice: C-CEX.com seems to be down.", 'From: [email protected]');
$price_last = .015;
}
return $price_last;
}
?>
To make this code more robust it should have a backup exchange to get the Bitcoin Price and a Backup exchange to get the GoldCoin price.  It should format the results based on the currency.  It should also allow any currency to be chosen.

Thank you Eric so much for writing this code. I'll let Gilead know that it's here now.
