Hey @coingecko, could you check if you could only display markets (or exclude the inactive ones from the average price) for SBD that are active (i.e. don't have withdrawals and deposits disabled), as right now only Bittrex has them working and there the price of SBD is $1. It would be nice if that would show the correct amount on steempeak.com which uses your API.

Hey @acidyo, unfortunately, our current API implementation could not support your particular request.

However, you can manually query the price of SBD from Bittrex (or any other exchange) directly from our API using the following query:

https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/coins/steem-dollars/tickers?exchange_ids=bittrex

That being said, we are always working on improving the API and we very much appreciate your feedback. This is something we will definitely discuss in our next product development cycle.

Thanks for getting back to me, will let the steempeak devs know! :)

Thanks for that! Feel free to reach out to us anytime on twitter, email or on here for any qs. For real urgent stuff you can even go directly to our telegram channel, we are always online there.

Coingecko is often our reference in looking at cryptocurrency price movements, including Steem and Steem Dollar. If you type "Steem to IRD" or "SBD to IDR" in the Google search engine, the Coingecko web will appear at the top of the list, at least that's my previous experience. Thanks so much @coingecko. your information is very useful

Thank you for your support!

We're amazed to know that you can easily find our data by googling.

@coingecko is very popular among Steemians in Indonesia despite many other websites. We still use @coingegko as a reference. Thanks a lot. I hope @coingecko is more victorious.
