How can I integrate a cryptocurrency API in my Vue.js application?

You can integrate a cryptocurrency API in your Vue.js app by using Axios to fetch data from the API. Do you have a specific API in mind?

Yes, I'm thinking about using CoinGecko's API. How do I get started?

First, you need to install Axios. You can do this by running npm install axios. Then, you can create a service file to handle API requests.

What does the service file look like?

Your service file could look like this:

import axios from 'axios';

const API_URL = 'https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3';

export const getCryptos = async () => {
  const response = await axios.get(`${API_URL}/coins/markets?vs_currency=usd`);
  return response.data;
};

This function fetches market data for cryptocurrencies.

How do I display this data in my Vue component?

You can call the getCryptos function in the mounted lifecycle hook of your component and store the data in a reactive property.
