Usage

List market pairs supported by an exchange

  client = Cryptoexchange::Client.new
  pairs = client.pairs('bitflyer')

List exchange services for certain currency

  client.exchange_for('btc')

  # ['anx', 'binance', ...]

Query the Ticker API

  pair = client.pairs('bitflyer').first
  ticker = client.ticker(pair)
  ticker.base
  ticker.target
  ticker.last

Query the Ticker stream API

  pair = client.pairs('bitfinex').first
  thread = client.ticker_stream(
    market_pair: pair,
    onopen: Proc.new { puts 'Opened!' },
    onmessage: Proc.new do |ticker|
                 puts ticker.base
                 puts ticker.target
                 puts ticker.last
                 # ...
               end,
    onclose: Proc.new { puts 'Closed!' },
  )

  thread.kill

Query the OrderBook API

  # Check if exchange has support for OrderBook
  pair = client.pairs('bitbank').first
  order_book = client.order_book(pair)
  order_book.base
  order_book.target
  order_book.bids
  order_book.asks

Query the OrderBook stream API

  pair = client.pairs('bitfinex').first
  thread = client.order_book_stream(
    market_pair: pair,
    onopen: Proc.new { puts 'Opened!' },
    onmessage: Proc.new do |order_book|
                 puts order_book.asks[0].price if order_book.asks[0]
                 puts order_book.bids[0].price if order_book.bids[0]
                 # ...
               end,
    onclose: Proc.new { puts 'Closed!' },
  )

  thread.kill

Query the Trades API

  # Check if exchange has support for Trades
  # returns array

  pair = client.pairs('neraex').first
  trades = client.trades(pair)
  trades[0].base
  trades[0].target
  trades[0].price
  trades[0].amount

Query the Trade stream API

  pair = client.pairs('bitfinex').first
  thread = client.trade_stream(
    market_pair: pair,
    onopen: Proc.new { puts 'Opened!' },
    onmessage: Proc.new do |trade|
                 puts trade.trade_id
                 puts trade.price
                 puts trade.amount
                 # ...
               end,
    onclose: Proc.new { puts 'Closed!' },
  )

  thread.kill

Get Exchange Trade URL (Work in Progress)

  client.trade_page_url 'binance', base: 'BTC', target: 'USDT'

Market List

Some exchange API do not support market pair listings. For those exchanges, we included a custom YML file to define the list of market pairs supported by that exchange. That configuration works out of the box, however if that exchange adds new market pairs, you as the user of Cryptoexchange can explicitly add those pairs instead of waiting for this library to be updated.

In the table above, look for the User-Defined under the Market List column.

The format of the yaml file should look like below. Name the file <exchange_name>.yml and place it under the config/cryptoexchange directory.

  :pairs:
    - :base: BTC
      :target: KRW
    - :base: ETH
      :target: KRW
    - :base: ETC
      :target: KRW

configuration

Cache

This gem uses https://github.com/SamSaffron/lru_redux cache by default so it doesn't hit exchanges with endpoint that returns multiple tickers for each ticker you are querying.

Alternatively, if you are using rails you can use rails cache (ActiveSupport::Cache::Store) by changing the config: create the following file /config/initializers/cryptoexchange.rb and have the config inside.

Cryptoexchange.configure do |config|
  config.ticker_ttl = 10
  # ticker cache duration in seconds
  # default value = 10

  config.cache_size = 200
  # lru_redux cache store, ONLY EFFECTIVE if you use lru_redux cache which is the default, this value will be ignored when using rails cache
  # default value = 200

  config.rails_cache = false
  # enables rails cache
  # default value = false
end

Proxy

To use proxy for HTTP requests, pass in array of hashes as proxy_list as below:

proxy_list = [
  {
    proxy_address: "1.1.1.1",
    proxy_port: 8080,
  },
  {
    proxy_address: "2.2.2.2",
    proxy_port: 8080
  }
]

Cryptoexchange.configure do |config|
  config.proxy_list = proxy_list
end

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies and run rake add_exchange <exchange_name in snake_case> to create necessary files. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
