  One of the best ways to display real-time cryptocurrency prices on a website using JavaScript is by using an API. There are several cryptocurrency APIs available that provide real-time price data. You can make AJAX requests to these APIs at regular intervals to fetch the latest prices and update them on your website. Some popular cryptocurrency APIs include CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, and Binance API. Make sure to check the documentation of the API you choose for the required endpoints and data format.

  If you want a more user-friendly approach, you can use JavaScript libraries like Socket.io or Pusher. These libraries allow you to establish a real-time connection between your website and the server, enabling automatic updates of cryptocurrency prices without the need for page refresh. You can subscribe to specific channels or events provided by the library and update the prices whenever a new price update is received. This approach provides a smoother and more interactive user experience.

  Another option is to use websockets to establish a real-time connection with a cryptocurrency exchange. Many exchanges provide websocket APIs that allow you to subscribe to specific cryptocurrency pairs and receive real-time price updates. You can use JavaScript libraries like Websocket API or Socket.io to handle the websocket connection and update the prices on your website. This approach ensures that the prices are accurate and up-to-date as they are directly fetched from the exchange.

  If you prefer a simpler solution, you can use iframe embedding to display real-time cryptocurrency prices on your website. Some cryptocurrency exchanges provide embeddable widgets or iframes that you can easily integrate into your website. These widgets usually come with customizable options, allowing you to choose the specific cryptocurrencies and display styles. However, keep in mind that this approach may not provide as much flexibility and customization options as using APIs or libraries.

  One important aspect to consider when displaying real-time cryptocurrency prices is the source of the data. Make sure to choose reputable and reliable sources for accurate price data. Additionally, consider implementing caching mechanisms to reduce the load on the API or exchange server and improve the performance of your website. You can cache the price data for a certain period of time and only make API requests when the cache expires or when there is a significant change in the prices.
