crypto2: Download Crypto Currency Data from 'CoinMarketCap' and 'CoinGecko'
Retrieves crypto currency information and historical prices as well as information on the exchanges they are listed on. Historical data contains daily open, high, low and close values for all crypto currencies. The package draws on two complementary sources: 'CoinMarketCap' <https://coinmarketcap.com> (primary, via the 'crypto_*' functions) and 'CoinGecko' <https://www.coingecko.com> (secondary, via the 'cg_*' functions). Both sources are queried without an 'API' key; the two function families return tibbles with identical column conventions so downstream pipelines work on either source.
