cryptoData acts as a tool to download historical data from major cryptocurrency exchanges via API. The data is in the format of date, open, high, low, close, volume. Currently, Binance, Poloniex, Bitfinex, Bitstamp, Bybit, and Bitbank are supported and tested under windows. It should work in Linux as well, with little or no adaptation. The codes may contain some bugs in some exceptional cases but it works in most normal usages.
