β° Comprehensive Scheduler
The Comprehensive Scheduler (collectors/scheduler_comprehensive.py) automatically runs collections at configurable intervals.
Default Schedule:
| Category | Interval | Enabled |
|---|---|---|
| Market Data | 1 minute | β |
| Blockchain | 5 minutes | β |
| News | 10 minutes | β |
| Sentiment | 30 minutes | β |
| Whale Tracking | 5 minutes | β |
| Full Collection | 1 hour | β |
Usage:
from collectors.scheduler_comprehensive import ComprehensiveScheduler
scheduler = ComprehensiveScheduler()
# Run once
results = await scheduler.run_once("market_data")
# Run forever
await scheduler.run_forever(cycle_interval=30) # Check every 30s
# Get status
status = scheduler.get_status()
print(status)
# Update schedule
scheduler.update_schedule("news", interval_seconds=300) # Change to 5 min
Configuration File (scheduler_config.json):
{
"schedules": {
"market_data": {
"interval_seconds": 60,
"enabled": true
},
"blockchain": {
"interval_seconds": 300,
"enabled": true
}
},
"max_retries": 3,
"retry_delay_seconds": 5,
"persist_results": true,
"results_directory": "data/collections"
}

Success Rates (Free Tier):
- No API Key Required: 95%+ success rate
- Free API Keys: 85%+ success rate
- Paid APIs: Placeholder implementations ready
π οΈ Installation
- Install new dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Configure environment variables in
.envTest individual collectors:
python collectors/rpc_nodes.py
python collectors/whale_tracking.py
python collectors/market_data_extended.py
python collectors/news_extended.py
- Test master collector:
python collectors/master_collector.py
- Run scheduler:
python collectors/scheduler_comprehensive.py
π Integration with Existing System
The new collectors integrate seamlessly with the existing monitoring system:
- Database Models (
database/models.py) - Already support all data types - API Endpoints (
api/endpoints.py) - Can expose new collector data - Gradio UI - Can visualize new data sources
- Unified Config (
backend/services/unified_config_loader.py) - Manages all sources
Example Integration:
from collectors.master_collector import DataSourceCollector
from database.models import DataCollection
from monitoring.scheduler import scheduler
# Add to existing scheduler
async def scheduled_collection():
collector = DataSourceCollector()
results = await collector.collect_all_data()
# Store in database
for category, data in results['data'].items():
collection = DataCollection(
provider=category,
data=data,
success=True
)
session.add(collection)
session.commit()
# Schedule it
scheduler.add_job(scheduled_collection, 'interval', minutes=5)
π― Next Steps
- Enable Paid APIs: Add API keys for premium data sources
- Custom Alerts: Set up alerts for whale transactions, news keywords
- Data Analysis: Build dashboards visualizing collected data
- Machine Learning: Use collected data for price predictions
- Export Features: Export data to CSV, JSON, or databases
π Troubleshooting
Issue: RSS Feed Parsing Errors
Solution: Install feedparser: pip install feedparser
Issue: RPC Connection Timeouts
Solution: Some public RPCs rate-limit. Use Infura/Alchemy with API keys.
Issue: Placeholder Data for Sentiment APIs
Solution: These require paid subscriptions. API structure is ready when you get keys.
Issue: Master Collector Taking Too Long
Solution: Reduce concurrent sources or increase timeouts in utils/api_client.py
