ViaBTC 📈

An HTTP client to interface with the open-source ViaBTC Exchange Server.

Interested in creating a cryptocurrency exchange? This gem can help you.

Installation

Add viabtc to your Gemfile and run bundle OR install it yourself with gem install viabtc.

Configuration

If using Rails, create a file named viabtc.rb under config/initializers and add the following block of code.

ViaBTC.configure do |config|
  config.http_base_url = 'http://localhost:18080'
end

If not, add it anywhere in your code that runs before a new client is initialized. Read more at: 📖Configuration Wiki

Usage

Create a new instance:

viabtc_http_client = ViaBTC::HTTP::Client.new

Make an API request:

viabtc_http_client.market_status(market: 'ETHBTC')

#=> {"error"=>nil, "result"=>{"low"=>"0", "period"=>86400, "last"=>"0", "high"=>"0", "open"=>"0", "volume"=>"0", "close"=>"0", "deal"=>"0"}, "id"=>0}
