  • CoinMarketCap provides historical price data for a variety of cryptocurrencies. For the first edition, the bitcoin data was collected from CoinMarketCap using the stock_analysis package; however, changes to the website led to changing the data source to Yahoo! Finance. The bitcoin data that was collected before the CoinMarketCap website change should be equivalent to the historical data that can be viewed on this page.
  • The National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) provides an API, which we use to access the Global Historical Climatology Network - Daily (GHCND) dataset.
  • The stock_analysis package contains easy to use interfaces for basic technical analysis of stocks. We will walk through the construction of this package in Chapter 7, Financial Analysis – Bitcoin and the Stock Market.
