Ethereum: Library for trading on major exchanges
Ethereum: library for trading on major exchanges
As a developer, you are most likely not new to the world of cryptocurrency trading. With the emergence of such large exchanges as BTC-e, Bitfinex, Cryptsy and others, it is extremely important to have access to their APIs (application programming interfaces) to create reliable and scalable applications. However, implementing these APIs from scratch can be a difficult task that requires extensive knowledge of programming languages and technical knowledge.
Fortunately, there are libraries that reveal the functionality of the book of orders and trading of major exchanges. In this article, we’ll look at some popular options for Ethereum developers who want to integrate trading features with major exchanges like BTC-e, Bitfinex, and Cryptsy.
1. Exchange API Library (EAPI)
The Exchange API Library (EAPI) is a Python library that provides an interface to the data ledgers of several major cryptocurrency exchanges. Although it focuses on Bitcoin, it also supports other popular cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum.
To use EAPI, you need to install the library using pip:
pip install exchangelib
You can then retrieve the exchange data using the following code snippet:
Python
import echolus
ex = echalus.Eexchange(
provider=”BTC-e”,
api_key=”YOUR_API_KEY”,
api_secret=”YOUR_API_SECRET”
)
data = ex.get_order_book()
seal (date)
EAPI supports various APIs including:
- BTC-e:
GET /api/v1/order_book, GET /api/v1/exchange_info
- Bitfinex:
GET /rest/v2/exchange_info, GET /rest/v2(order_books)
2. API CEX
The CEX API is a Python library that provides an interface to the ledgers of several major cryptocurrency exchanges, including BTC-e and Binance.
To install CEX, run:
bash
pip install cex
Here's an example code snippet using CEX:
Python
import cex
client = cex.Client(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY", api_secret="YOUR_API_SECRET")
data = client.get_book_order()
seal (date)
CEX supports various APIs including:
- BTC-e:
GET /api/v1/order_book,GET /api/v1/exchange_info
- Binance:
GET /public/api/v2/markets
3. Pibittex
Pybitcex is a Python wrapper for the Binance exchange API.
To install Pybitcex, run:
pip install pybitcex
Here is an example code snippet using Pybitcex:
Python
import pybitcex
client = pybitcex.Client(
api_key=”YOUR_API_KEY”,
api_secret=”YOUR_API_SECRET”
)
data = client.get_book_order()
seal (date)
Pybitcex supports various APIs including:
- Binance:
GET /api/v3/exchangeInfo, GET /orderBook
4. CryptoAPI
CryptoAPI is a Python library that provides an interface to the ledgers of several major cryptocurrency exchanges.
To install CryptoAPI, run:
bash
pip install cryptoAPI
Here is an example code snippet using CryptoAPI:
Python
import cryptoAPI
client = cryptoAPI.Client(
provider="BTC-e",
api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
api_secret="YOUR_API_SECRET"
)
data = client.get_book_order()
seal (date)
CryptoAPI supports various APIs including:
- BTC-e:
GET /api/v1/order_book,GET /api/v1/exchange_info
Conclusion
In conclusion, it should be noted that there are several libraries that reveal the functionality of the order book and trading of large exchanges, such as BTC-e, Bitfinex, Cryptsy and others. By choosing one of these libraries, you can simplify the development process and focus on creating a reliable application for cryptocurrency traders.
Although this article only touches on these libraries superficially, I hope it provides valuable insight into the world of trading APIs and their integration with Ethereum applications.
