Set firstRun=False if you dont want to write the headers. Useful if calling news_to_csv multiple times.

Powered by the CryptoCompare API. Uses a modified version of the cryCompare Python wrapper for the CryptoCompare API by stefs304.

cryptodatatocsv.py functions take the JSON responses returned by the CryptoCompare API and save them to appropriately named .csv files. I am planning to use the data from this project to explore deep learning applications in cryptocurrency trading.
