Building/Compiling
Websockets
If you must use an older Windows (older than win8.1), you'll need to use the Websocket4Net nuget package, and override the web socket implementation by calling
ExchangeSharp.ClientWebSocket.RegisterWebSocketCreator(
() => new ExchangeSharpConsole.WebSocket4NetClientWebSocket()
);
See WebSocket4NetClientWebSocket.cs
for implementation details.
Nuget
dotnet CLI
dotnet add package DigitalRuby.ExchangeSharp --version 0.7.0
Package Manager on VS
PM> Install-Package DigitalRuby.ExchangeSharp -Version 0.7.0
Examples
Creating an order
There's a lot of examples on how to use the API in our console application.
e.g.
ExampleOption.cs
Getting ticker info via Web Sockets
public static async Task Main(string[] args)
{
// create a web socket connection to Binance. Note you can Dispose the socket anytime to shut it down.
using var api = new ExchangeBinanceAPI();
// the web socket will handle disconnects and attempt to re-connect automatically.
using var socket = await api.GetTickersWebSocket(tickers =>
{
Console.WriteLine("{0} tickers, first: {1}", tickers.Count, tickers.First());
});
Console.WriteLine("Press ENTER to shutdown.");
Console.ReadLine(true);
}
Logging
ExchangeSharp uses NLog internally currently. To log, use ExchangeSharp.Logger
.
Do not use Console.WriteLine
to log messages in the lib project.
Provide your own nlog.config
or app.config
nlog configuration if you want to change logging settings or turn logging off.
Caching
The ExchageAPI
class provides a method caching mechanism. Use MethodCachePolicy
to put caching behind public methods, or clear to remove caching. Some methods are cached by default. You can set ExchangeAPI.UseDefaultMethodCachePolicy
to false
to stop all caching as well.
You can also set request cache policy if you want to tweak how the http caching behaves.
