This Python video uses Flet to build a dashboard containing widgets/controls depicting cryptocurrency prices.
We start off by laying the foundation of the main UI followed by the logic needed to get crypto prices, store them, and display them onto the screen.
We use CoinGecko’s API services to retrieve the prices of the crypto of interest. We’ll be using a dictionary to store the prices amongst other information to which we will loop over and grab the data we want and pass them to the UI.
Consistently updating the prices will be done on a separate thread, so we’ll see how to implement a daemon thread and set it up to run in the background.
