Crate squalo[−][src]
🦈 Minimal, elegant, fast, async Kraken exchange WebSockets API client | Written in Rust
Description
squalo
library aims to interface your software with the Kraken exchange WebSockets API in no time.
Prerequisites
The Kraken exchange allows WebSockets API
interaction with both public
and private
data.
Only for the private
one, you need to issue an API-Key
and an API-Secret
to the squalo
library, in order to generate authentication token for signed subscriptions on WebSockets
endpoints.
If you are not familiar with, please have a look at WebSockets API - FAQ for a general overview, or at WebSockets API document.
Implementation
Add this to your Cargo.toml
:
[dependencies]
squalo = {version = 0.1.0}
and then add this to your code
:
use squalo;
Methods
squalo::print_crate_info();
Description: prints crate
information (name, description, version, author and repository).
squalo::set_kraken_api_credentials(api_key: String, api_secret: String);
Description: sets Kraken API
credentials for private
data access.
Required:
- api_key:
String
- api_secret:
String
squalo::get_websockets_token();
Description: retrieves a WebSockets API token
with a signed
request from a Kraken REST API
endpoint.
Output: returns a WebSockets API token
in the String
format.
polipo::attach_websockets_stream(callback: fn(&str), stringified_json_message).await;
Description: spawns a thread
which initializes a WebSocket client
and writes the stringified_json_message
.
Required:
- callback:
fn
(eg: fn callback(data: &str) { println(“data: {}”, data); }) - stringified_json_message:
String
(eg: {“event”:“subscribe”, “subscription”:{“name”:“trade”}, “pair”:[“XBT/USD”]})
Output: any incoming message forwared from the WebSockets stream
to the issued callback
comes in stringified JSON
format (parse accordingly with the outcome shape).
Example
The example below shows how easy is to implement squalo
from zero knowledge.
use squalo; fn callback(data: &str) { println!("data: {}", data); } #[tokio::main] async fn main() { // printing crate information squalo::print_crate_info(); // enveloping a message pointing on public endpoint let payload = r#"{"event":"subscribe", "subscription":{"name":"trade"}, "pair":["XRP/EUR", "ETH/USD"]}"#.to_string(); // attaching websockets to public data stream squalo::attach_websockets_stream(callback, payload).await; // issuing credentials enables private data interaction squalo::set_kraken_api_credentials( "YOUR_KRAKEN_API_KEY_HERE".to_string(), "YOUR_KRAKEN_API_SECRET".to_string(), ); // requesting a websockets token let token = squalo::get_websockets_token().await; // enveloping a message pointing on private endpoint let payload = format!( r#"{{"event":"subscribe", "subscription":{{"name":"ownTrades", "token":"{}"}}}}"#, token ); // attaching websockets to private data stream squalo::attach_websockets_stream(callback, payload).await; }
