This library provides an unofficial Haskell client for the Coinbase Pro API.
The goal is to provide basic functionality for automated trading in Haskell on the Coinbase Pro exchange. We intend to implement the full functionality of both the public and authenticated REST and WebSocket APIs, but development is currently very much incomplete.
Use of this software is provided under an MIT license, on an "as-is" basis, and without warranty. Be aware that this software is a work in progress and expect unimplemented or broken functionality, including bugs that may cause financial losses if used with a funded account on Coinbase Pro's live trading server.
If you do encounter a bug, please report it on the issue tracker. Feedback, feature requests, and pull requests are welcome.
Because there is no publicly available FIX engine written in Haskell, implementing the FIX API is beyond the scope of this project. Note also that this library does not implement any functionality provided by the other Coinbase APIs for wallets and e-commerce.
An up-to-date version of this library is not currently available on Hackage. To install it, download the source from this repository and build with cabal-install or stack in the usual way:
> git clone https://github.com/dimitri-xyz/haskell-coinbase-pro.git
...
> cd haskell-coinbase-pro
> cabal install
...
> cabal build
...> git clone https://github.com/dimitri-xyz/haskell-coinbase-pro.git
...
> cd haskell-coinbase-pro
> stack build
...The client reads several environment variables at runtime to authenticate private API calls and to choose whether to connect to Coinbase Pro's sandbox server (for testing the API with fake money) or to the live server (for trading with real money).
Set COINBASE_PRO_SANDBOX to TRUE to connect to the sandbox server, or to FALSE to connect the live server; e.g., in bash, run the this command to run the client on the sandbox server:
> export COINBASE_PRO_SANDBOX=TRUE # Use the sandbox serverAlways test code on the sandbox server before running it on the live server.
To make authenticated private API calls, users must provide their API key, secret, and passphrase. (To generate these credentials for a sandbox or live account, see the "API Keys" section of the account settings at, respectively, https://public.sandbox.pro.coinbase.com or https://pro.coinbase.com). Set the COINBASE_PRO_KEY, COINBASE_PRO_SECRET and COINBASE_PRO_PASSPHRASE variables appropriately; e.g., in bash:
> export COINBASE_PRO_KEY=<your API key>
> export COINBASE_PRO_SECRET=<your API secret>
> export COINBASE_PRO_PASSPHRASE=<your API passphrase>Provide credentials for the sandbox server if COINBASE_PRO_SANDBOX is set to TRUE, or credentials for the live server if it's set to FALSE.
After setting these environment variables, you can use configure to produce an ExchangeConf value. In GHCi:
> conf <- configureUse the runExchange action with this configuration to call the REST API. For example, to fetch the top of the order book for the BTC-USD market, run getTopOfBook with the appropriate product ID:
> :set -XOverloadedStrings
> runExchange conf $ getTopOfBook (ProductId "BTC-USD")This call returns a value of type Either ExchangeFailure (Book Aggregate) in IO. Here the successful case of a Right (Book {...}) provides an order book with order sizes aggregated by price.
The runExchange action is a type-specialized version of the more general runExchangeT monad transformer, which allows the user to choose alternative types for representing errors, etc.
To subscribe to streaming market data via the WebSocket API, extract the ApiType from the ExchangeConf and pass it to subscribe along with a list of product IDs of the relevant markets, a list of channels to subscribe to, and a WebSocket ClientApp to consume received data:
> :set -XOverloadedStrings
> :set +m
> import Data.ByteString
> import Network.WebSockets
> :{
| subscribe (apiType conf) [ProductId "BTC-USD"] [Heartbeat, Ticker, User] $ \conn ->
| forever $ do
| data <- receiveData conn
| print (data :: ByteString)
| }:
This example code prints the raw JSON sent by the server. See the documentation for the websockets package for details of working with WebSockets.
Note that subscribe requests data on all of the specified channels for all of the specified markets. Call subscribe multiple times to request data on different channels for different markets.
This project continues development begun at AndrewRademacher/coinbase-exchange, which is no longer maintained. There is another Haskell client under current development at mdunnio/coinbase-pro.
