Introduction

CCXT-REST provides a Unified REST APIs to allow clients access to retrieve data (ticker, order book, trades, your order, your trades, balances, etc) and to create and cancel orders from over 100 cryptocurrency exhange sites. And it is built on top of the popular open source project CCXT

Installation

You can install either through docker or as a global node package

Docker

$ docker run -p 3000:3000 ccxtrest/ccxt-rest

NPM Package

$ npm install -g ccxt-rest
$ ccxt-rest

Getting Started

CCXT-REST supports over 100 crytpocurrency exchange sites. If you want to access public data, for most exchanges, you can access them directly without any API Keys or Secret.

• GET:/exchanges/{exchangeName}/markets
• GET:/exchanges/{exchangeName}/ticker
• GET:/exchanges/{exchangeName}/tickers
• GET:/exchanges/{exchangeName}/orderBook
• GET:/exchanges/{exchangeName}/trades

In binance, it would look something like this

• GET:/exchanges/binance/markets
• GET:/exchanges/binance/ticker?symbol=BTC/USDT
• GET:/exchanges/binance/tickers
• GET:/exchanges/binance/orderBook?symbol=BTC/USDT
• GET:/exchanges/binance/trades?symbol=BTC/USDT

However, some exchanges though require you to have an API Key and Secret even when accessing public data. For example, for cointiger, you would need to get an API Key and Secret first from cointiger see cointiger's official documentation for more info, and then you would need to provide those to ccxt-rest

• POST:/exchanges/cointiger -d {"id":"myCoinTiger","apiKey":"myApiKey","secret":"$hcreT"}
• GET:/exchanges/cointiger/markets -H 'Authorization: Bearer xxx.yyy.zzz'(where xxx.yyy.zzz was part of the response of POST:/exchanges/cointiger)
• GET:/exchanges/cointiger/ticker?symbol=BTC/LTC -H 'Authorization: Bearer xxx.yyy.zzz'
• GET:/exchanges/cointiger/tickers -H 'Authorization: Bearer xxx.yyy.zzz'
• GET:/exchanges/cointiger/orderBook?symbol=BTC/LTC -H 'Authorization: Bearer xxx.yyy.zzz'
• GET:/exchanges/cointiger/trades?symbol=BTC/LTC -H 'Authorization: Bearer xxx.yyy.zzz'

Lastly, for private data like your user orders, trades, balances and for actions like placing and cancelling orders, you would definitely need to provide the API Key and Secret for your exchange to ccxt-rest.

Note: The API listing below is now comprehensive. For a full list of APIs supported, see https://ccxt-rest.io

Providing API Keys and Secret

$ curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/exchange/binance \
