§Kraapi

Asynchronous HTTP client for the Kraken cryptocurrency exchange

§Features

  • Asynchronous
  • Type-driven and self-validating API
  • Ergonomic and easy to use
  • Promotes re-use of structures and avoids unecessary allocations or redundant HTTP clients

§General Notes - TLDR

  • Every input type is prefixed with KI. Every output type is prefixed with KO
  • Every input type is a builder type for KrakenInput. All required paramters(per Kraken) are parameters for that type’s constructor. Optional parameters are exposed using methods.
  • Only a KrakenInput instance can be passed into the KrakenClient. You must fufill any contracts exposed by the type and convert it to a KrakenInput by calling finish() or finish_clone() which exist for every input type
  • You must await the call to request
  • Deserializing the data returned from Kraken into output structs is done for you. Currently if you pass in the wrong ouput type, the parsing will fail
  • Builder methods require ownership so if you must perform some application logic while building a KrakenInput you must reassign the variable like so:
let some_application_logic = true;
// mut to allow reassignment based on application logic
let mut input = KIAssetPairs::build();

if some_application_logic {
    input = input.info(AssetPairInfo::Leverage);
} else {
    input = input.info(AssetPairInfo::Margin);
}

// Now of type KrakenInput so we have to rebind the variable
let input = input.finish();
  • Endpoints that allow a list of some items (assets, asset pairs, transaction IDs, etc.) will have methods with the following characteristics:
    • Methods such as with_asset(...) or with_asset_list(...) always append to the list. Chained calls to with_asset(...) is functionally equivalent to one call to with_asset_list(...) with the same list of assets
    • Methods such as update_transaction_list(...) will always overwrite the current data with the new data
    • For endpoints not requiring their list to be populated, methods such as clear_asset_list() exist to remove the previous asset list from the request builder
  • The above design allows for templating your requests. You can clone() a templated request and then change only the data you care about before sending the request.

§Examples

See https://www.kraken.com/features/api#example-api-code-php-lib for more info on these examples

§Public Endpoint - Ticker

use kraapi::client::KrakenClient;
use kraapi::public::ticker::{KITicker, KOTicker};
use kraapi::api::asset::{KAsset, KAssetPair};
use kraapi::api::Input;

let client = KrakenClient::new("", "");

let ticker_input = KITicker::build(KAssetPair(KAsset::XBT, KAsset::USD)).finish();

let ticker_output = client.request::<KOTicker>(&ticker_input).await?;

println!("{:#?}", ticker_output);

§Private Endpoint - Add Order

use kraapi::client::KrakenClient;
use kraapi::private::add_order::{
    KIAddOrder, KOAddOrder, Leverage};
use kraapi::api::{
    asset::{KAsset, KAssetPair},
    TradeType, OrderType};
use kraapi::api::Input;

// Example credentials from Kraken's documentation. Personal credentials will be needed for
// private API endpoints
let client = KrakenClient::new(
    "<Your_API_Key>",
    "<Your_API_Secret>"
    );

let add_order_input = KIAddOrder::build(
    KAssetPair(KAsset::XBT, KAsset::USD),
    TradeType::Buy,
    OrderType::Limit(String::from("101.9901")),
    2.12345678)
    .with_leverage(Leverage::Two)
    .with_closing_order(OrderType::StopLossLimit(String::from("#5%"), String::from("#10")))
    .validate(true)
    .finish();

// Valid credentials to be entered above, otherwise this will panic
// let add_order_output = client.request::<KOAddOrder>(&add_order_input).await?;

println!("{:#?}", add_order_output);

§P.S.

This library is pronounced “crappy”
