# Bitcoin Price Checker
> **Note:** The description below and the code in this repo are created using Copilot by Microsoft.
This repository contains a static web page that checks and displays the current price of Bitcoin in USD.
## Project Overview
The project uses the Axios library to make HTTP requests to the Coinbase API, which provides real-time Bitcoin prices. The web page updates every 30 seconds to display the latest price.
## Code Explanation
The code is written in HTML and JavaScript. It uses the Axios library to make HTTP requests to the Coinbase API. The API endpoint used is 'https://api.coinbase.com/v2/prices/BTC-USD/buy', which returns the current buying price of Bitcoin in USD.
An asynchronous JavaScript function, `getBitcoinPrice()`, is defined to make the API request and update the web page with the latest price. This function is called immediately when the page loads, and then every 30 seconds using the `setInterval()` function.
## How to Use
