In this chapter, we will get a number of top 100 coins by their market cap with python. If you have read the previous chapter of this cryptocurrency project then you will find out that in this chapter we have only changed the GET’s
url = "https://min-api.cryptocompare.com/data/top/mktcapfull"
data = {'tsym': currency_symbol, 'limit': 100}
Besides that, we have also created a button to start the top_coin_by_cap method. Below is the full program up until now.

This project will continue for a while and we might rearrange the button and combo box in the future to suit the layout of the user interface.
