    To print real-time cryptocurrency data in the console using JavaScript, you can use the Fetch API to make HTTP requests to cryptocurrency APIs and retrieve the data. One popular API is the CoinGecko API, which provides comprehensive data on various cryptocurrencies. Here's an example code snippet: ```javascript fetch('https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/simple/price?ids=bitcoin&vs_currencies=usd') .then(response => response.json()) .then(data => { console.log('Current price of Bitcoin in USD:', data.bitcoin.usd); }) .catch(error => console.error(error)); ``` This code fetches the current price of Bitcoin in USD from the CoinGecko API and prints it in the console. You can modify the API endpoint and parameters to fetch data for other cryptocurrencies or in different currencies. Remember to handle errors properly using the catch() method.
