How To Build A Bitcoin Price Grabber Using Beautiful Soup - Python Tkinter GUI Tutorial

In this video we'll build a fun little Bitcoin Price Web Scraper with Tkinter and Beautiful Soup!
Scraping data from websites is super easy with BeautifulSoup. In this video I'll show you how to do it and also create a little app that checks for price updates every 30 seconds.
The app will also tell you whether the price of Bitcoin has gone up or down since the last time it checked, and the text will change color to red if the price dropped, and green if the price increased.
We'll need to pip install beautifulsoup4 from the terminal for this to work.

Hey, I am here again, good going John....

[@Codemycom]

Welcome back!

[@profounddevices]

good stuff. i like that my brain was on auto pilot. this app is so functional and you already have developed it. i would have liked a link to the file, but i also learned a lot i had forgotten, and it still took less time than doing it myself... thx!

[@Codemycom]

Glad it was helpful! All my code is on github, link in the pinned comment as always

[@dbstudio7859]

Thank you this very interesting and good video

[@Codemycom]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Such a great video and just 819 views???

[@Codemycom]

It's only a day old...but tell your friends!

[@twincamrolla]

Hey John thank you for your awesome videos! When i follow your steps to make a .exe out of a .py file it works great on my computer. But when i send it to somebody else it says failed to execute script. How do we make our .py files into .exes that anybody can use?

[@dimitriosdesmos4699]

Thank you...some more Bsoup would be nice !!!!! I am trying to get economic release data from forex websites , i would;d appreciate some help. thanks man

[@Codemycom]

Didn't you learn everything you need from this video?

[@user-lr4kp5zw8y]

can you make a video to make a entery and set it anything and if we type any thing in it without delete anything from it will delete all things and just set what we writen in it ???

This works better for taking the price: price_large2 = price_large1[54:-6] because Bitcoin might not always be exactly 9 characters in length, but it will always end 6 characters before

[@Codemycom]

nice

[@oncuozgonul]

Please help! When i add dollar sign $ (19:53) python says "invalid syntax"?

[@TechSupportChamps]

!9:15 - Under the price data, what if the pricing is too dynamic that it can reduce or increase the characters to lag below or over the 54:63 range?

[@Codemycom]

Yeah, you'd have to account for that...but is it even possible for bitcoin to drop below 10,000 or above 99,000 anytime soon? Not likely.

[@profounddevices]

prob a lazy short cut is to get the length of the entire string such as len(price_large1), if it goes down or up you could assume the digit is one less or lets be hopefully one more!

[@paulcullum517]

Just use .text to get the text on bs4 :)

[@laurentreynaud4404]

Well done ... the bitcoin price keeps dropping now...

[@Codemycom]

yeah, it's crazy to watch

[@hiwab41]

First

[@Codemycom]

Nice!

[@klassikalbeat68]

is the global previous a stringvar

[@Codemycom]

If the code says stringvar, it is.

[@Codemycom]

@@klassikalbeat68 yep

[@ramehharmouch6245]

you put the price_large1 from 54:63, but how to do it if the price number exist the 1000000000000000.......?

[@Codemycom]

Huh?

Of course

John, I wanna make a weather app in Tkinter. Then imagine that I grabbed the HTML format of the website and paste it in my IDE. How do I find where is the weather in the HTML file?

[@Codemycom]

In the same way I did in this video. By looking at the html and finding the class where the weather data is located.
