Awesome text-based services list
--------------------------------
This is a list of some useful non-Gopher-based online services for pure
console usage. All tested manually and working as of February 2024.

# HTTP(S) services #

    or
    curl "https://api.coincap.io/v2/assets?ids=$ASSET1,$ASSET2,$ASSET3..."

The list will be updated from time to time but the availability of these
services is not monitored in real time, so don't be surprised if some of 
them are down.
