help creating a combobox of assets

Hello.

I've posted here months ago and I've still gotten no where. I'm not a developer but I guess I'm going to have to hack together something myself. Here is what I'm trying to do.

I want to build a fully accessible Highchart crypto dashboard wherein I can select an asset from a dropdown, select a time frame and add and remove indicators from the chart. right now I merely want to do the following.

1. Using the financial modeling prep API I have access to I need to code a combo box listing all of the available assets from fmp. Once selected the asset pair should be loaded and displayed. I also don't really like the timeframe selection mechanism that comes stock with highcharts and want to know if a better solution is available. anyway, once an asset is selected from the dropdown it should load a basic line chart. can someone please help me with this as I'm not sure where to begin. can someone please have a look at the api call and mock up some code I can paste into a test page to try it out? Like I said I am not a developer and I can't seem to find anyone to help me with this. I know Highcharts support isn't really supposed to help with this kind of stuff but I'm lost at this point for options. Blacklabel does not work with individuals, only companies.

Here is the API call for the list of crypto assets they offer. I need to turn this into a combo box of asset pairs and show a line chart for each.

Thank you for all the help you can provide.

Re: help creating a combobox of assets

also I forgot to mention that after an asset pair is selected in the combo box, an API call should be made for that asset to retrieve the JSON price OHLCv data with this request. They have multiple timeframes like 1 minutes, 15 minutes 30 minute, daily, but I want to be able to specify any timeframe, so I think using one minute candles may be best and then calculate the timeframe locally.

Re: help creating a combobox of assets

Hi BlindTrader!

Your question sounds to me beyond the scope of support on our forum. I can help you with a specific Highcharts question, for example how to create a chart with some kind of data etc. but building a dashboard is something more. If you want to use data from JSON by API call you can check this official example: https://www.highcharts.com/demo/stock/basic-line

Also a small note, Black Label works with private clients, you can contact via [email protected].

If you have any Highcharts-related questions feel free to ask them!
Regards!
