ExchangeWrapper

ExchangeWrapper is a Ruby Gem that attempts to come up with a standardized set of methods that can be used to obtain data from Cryptocurrency exchanges.

Refer to the Methods section below for a list of the methods, example usage, and example return format.

If you have any issues or if you'd like to contribute please visit the Contributing section below.

Exchange Progress Table

This table shows the methods that are supported per exchange.

Notes

1. Coinbase doesn't support methods outside of #holdings (get the data via GDAX) and even then #holdings should be converted to utilize OAuth instead of API Key/Secret.
2. COSS.io doesn't have an API yet...
3. #backfill isn't implemented yet so it is an estimation (Easy/Hard) of the difficulty needed in order to support it.
4. #orders isn't implemented yet but this shouldn't be so challenging, left it ambiguous (?) for now.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'exchange_wrapper'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install exchange_wrapper
