PancakeSwap Token Price

import { JsonRpcProvider } from '@ethersproject/providers';

const provider = new JsonRpcProvider('https://bsc-dataseed1.binance.org/');

    this.eth = this.web3.eth;

  getTokenPrice = async (address) => {
    const BNB = new Token(ChainId.MAINNET, BNB_ADDRESS, 18);
    const token = await Fetcher.fetchTokenData(
      ChainId.MAINNET,
      address,
      provider,
    );

Your code works perfectly, but do you know if there is a way to get the updated price more frequently? Cheers

@Syloid so apparently there's an issue on BSC itself, resulting in some token prices not being updated with every block updated, i.e. pancakeswap's SDK price is actually different than you'd see if you go to the their website and try to exchange. Reported here and here as well as in lots of other issues on github.

The best solution that I found so far is to check the latest block number (or the timestamp) in the price object returned by fetchPairData, see if it differs from latest block significantly (for example, more than 1 minute), and then get the latest price from 0x API if it is too outdated. LMK if you find better solutions!

@david-mart Hi, how can I see the price instantly? (Poocoin like)
