I'm releasing Ccxtex 0.1, a first version of FLOSS Elixir package for Elixir/Erlang interoperability with python version of ccxt library. Ccxt provides unified API for fetching of historical data and trading operations for multiple cryptocurrency exchanges including GDAX, Bitfinex, Poloniex, Binance and others.

Ccxtex repo and docs

Installation

Elixir

Add the following line to your package mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:ccxtex, github: "cyberpunk-ventures/ccxtex"}
  ]
end

Python

You need Python 3 and ccxt python package installed for this module to work.

To install ccxt use pip3 install ccxt

Python interop is implemented with Erlport and Export libraries.

Status and roadmap

Ccxtex is usable, but is under active development, API is unstable and will change. Some exchanges do not support all methods/require CORS/have other esoteric requirements. Please consult ccxt documentation for more.

Public APIs in progress

[x] fetch_ticker
[x] fetch_ohlcv
[x] fetch_exchanges
[x] fetch_markets
[ ] fetch_trades
[ ] fetch_order_book
[ ] fetch_l2_order_book

Developer experience improvements

[ ] unified public API call option structs
[ ] integrate python 3 async calls and remove a pid arg from module functions
[ ] capture exceptions generated by ccxt python library and convert to elixir success tuples

Private APIs implementation are under consideration

Examples

Default process id (@pid) is Ccxtex.Port. You can always start and use another process with Ccxtex.Port.start_link/2

Fetch exchanges

Usage:
exchanges = Ccxtex.fetch_exchanges(Ccxtex.Port)
