The simplest method to import live BTC prices into Google Sheets is by using the GOOGLEFINANCE function. This function allows you to fetch current prices for various cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, without needing any additional add-ons or tools. Here's how to do it:

1. Identify the ticker symbol for Bitcoin on Google Finance, which is usually in the format of 'BTC-USD' for Bitcoin priced in US dollars.
2. In your Google Sheet, type the formula '=GOOGLEFINANCE("BTC-USD")' where you want the live Bitcoin price to appear.

Google Sheets Cryptocurrency Price

For a more comprehensive approach to importing cryptocurrency prices, including BTC, you can use API connectors like CoinGecko API through add-ons such as API Connector or Cryptofinance. These services allow you to pull in live price data for a wide range of cryptocurrencies. Here's a general process to follow:

1. Install an API Connector add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace.
2. Open the add-on within Google Sheets and create a new API request.
3. For CoinGecko API, use endpoints like '/simple/price' to fetch live prices. Configure your request with the necessary parameters, such as the cryptocurrency IDs and the currency for price conversion (e.g., USD).

4. Execute the query to import the data into your sheet. You can customize the request to include additional data points like 24h changes, trading volume, and more.
