  Hello, I have never used an API before and was hoping someone could help me get started in the right direction.
  The end goal is to use the API from CryptoCurrency and use it on my website.

  The end goal is to have the coinlist on my homepage then click on currencies and sent to page with currency information via the API.

  Very new to this and just looking for any help.
  Thanks!!!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello @distorial,

  Your website is a WordPress.org site and currently being hosted on SingleHop. This forum is to support website being hosted by wordpress.com.The differences between the two are listed here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Support for WordPress.org sites is available on these forums:

  https://wordpress.org/support/

  This documentation about APIs on WordPress.org can be of great help:

  https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_APIs

  I suggest posting on wordpress.org to receive the correct help from the community there. Best of luck.

  @drunkentennis – Here’s what it says in the sourcecode:

  meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress 4.9.1″

  So it does look like this is a site using the WP open source software and not hosted here on WordPressdotcom?

  @justjennifer,

  I didn’t know WordPress can be distinguished like that. Thank you for showing me the rope recently :)
