Triggering the bitcoin trade advice alert

In order to setup the bitcoin trade advice alert, go through the following steps:

1. First, start by importing the bitcoin price API, called exchanges:

#!/usr/bin/python

# import modules
# Make sure to copy the exchanges from https://github.com/dursk/bitcoin-price-api
# to the same location as this script
from exchanges.bitfinex import Bitfinex

2. Also import smtplib, which we will use for triggering the bitcoin price alert. Here, we define a function called trigger_email. We then set the server user and email details:

import smtplib

# Function to send email
def trigger_email(msg):
 # Change these to your email details
 email_user = "[email protected]"
 email_password = "bitcoin1"
 smtp_server = 'smtp.gmail.com'
 smtp_port = 587
 email_from = "[email protected]"
 email_to = "[email protected]"

3. Using smtplib, send the sendmail function to send the price alert email, as shown in the following code:

# login to the email server
 server = smtplib...
