How to build a Discord Bot to set and track Multiple Crypto Price Targets (part 2) --- with Python
Hello Everyone! My name is Andrew Fung, in this video, I will be showing you how you create a Crypto Bot in your discord server to track Crypto Prices and send user notifications in the form of messages to your devices. The crypto bot will be running 24/7 all the time as hosted by UpTimeRobot and will be constantly pinged every 5 minutes to keep the bot alive.
