Ubuntu test Windows test Docs

The goal behind this project is to facilitate downloading cryptocurrency candlestick data fast & simple. Currently only the Bitfinex exchange is supported with more to come in future releases.

I created this project to port my python package crypto-candlesticks as an exercise to learn Rust.

Once the data is downloaded, it will be converted and stored in a .csv and .sqlite3 for convenient analysis. The data will include the Open, High, Low, Close of the candles and the volume during the interval and its timestamp.
