Cryptoexchange is a rubygem that allows Ruby developers to interact with over 240+ cryptocurrency exchange market data APIs in a single library. This rubygem is used to power CoinGecko. It is open source under the terms of the MIT License.
For the existing HTTP API, this rubygem has established a pretty good abstraction which allows developers to easily contribute new exchanges.
The websocket API feature, however, is a new addition to this rubygem. As such, we are still figuring out the best abstraction/structure.
Below pull request is the initial proof-of-concept for Bitfinex connection. Please use it as general reference in creating the Poloniex websocket API:
https://github.com/coingecko/cryptoexchange/pull/1008
We are looking for candidate(s) to complete the following tasks:
We have looked into the Poloniex websocket API documentation.
Here is a code you can use to get started making websocket connection for testing purposes in ruby console.
EM.run do
ws = WebSocket::EventMachine::Client.connect(uri: 'wss://api2.poloniex.com')
ws.onopen do
ws.send({
"command": "subscribe",
"channel": 1002
}.to_json)
end
ws.onmessage do |message, _|
begin
message = JSON.parse(message)
puts message
rescue Exception => e
puts e
end
end
ws.onclose do
puts "Close!"
end
end
The ticker channel appears to be returning pair id
This might be a problem as the gem assumes that a Ticker always has a base and target symbol.
The only way to reference the id is via using their RESTful API to return a list of tickers.
The following channels on Poloniex correspond to the data we want to capture:
2 weeks. Set to start upon candidate selection.
