Most data is fetched from Mempool REST API. Connect to your private Mempool instance if you like (see next question).
To calculate a BTC/Asset ratio Kraken Spot Rest API is used to get latest prices for other assets.
Start the app with -m parameter:
cabal run tick-tock-tui -- -m {custom-mempool-url}Nope. Quote from Kraken Support page:
"API keys are not required to call the market data (public) API endpoints, as the market data endpoints are not associated with any specific Kraken account."
Yes, users settings are stored locally. That's needed to start the app with the latest user settings. Locations to persist data are defined by XdgState:
- non-Windows
~/.local/state/tick-tock-tui/data{version}.json - Windows:
%LOCALAPPDATA%(e.g.C:/Users/<user>/AppData/Local/tick-tock-tui/data{version}.json)
