polipo library aims to interface your software with the Kraken exchange API in no time.
The Kraken exchange API allows interaction with both public and private data.
Only for the private one, you need to issue an API-Key and an API-Secret to the polipo library, in order to generate authentication strings for signed requests.
If you are not familiar with, please have a look at API documentation for a general overview, or at Generate API keys document.
Add this to your Cargo.toml:
toml
[dependencies]
polipo = {version = 0.1.4}
and then add this to your code:
rust
use polipo;
rust
polipo::print_crate_info();
Description: prints crate information (name, description, version,author and repository).
rust
polipo::set_kraken_api_credentials(api_key: String, api_secret: String);
Description: sets Kraken API credentials for private data access.
Required:
* api_key: String
* api_secret: String
rust
polipo::get_kraken_api_response(method: String, url_encoded_body: String).await;
Description: performs public or private requests, according to issued method and url_encoded_body data.
Required:
* method: String (eg: "public" or "private")
* url_encoded_body: String (eg: "pair=ethusd&since=1574067140000000000")
Output: any response is in stringified JSON format (parse accordingly with the outcome shape).
The example below shows how easy is to implement polipo from zero knowledge.
```rust use polipo;
async fn query(method: &str, urlencodedbody: &str) -> String { polipo::getkrakenapiresponse(method.tostring(), urlencodedbody.to_string()).await }
async fn main() {
// printing crate information
polipo::print_crate_info();
// performing some queries on public data
println!("public/Assets: {}", query("Assets", "").await);
println!("public/Ticker: {}", query("Ticker", "pair=xdgeur").await);
// issuing credentials enables private data requests
polipo::set_kraken_api_credentials(
"YOUR_KRAKEN_API_KEY_HERE".to_string(),
"YOUR_KRAKEN_API_SECRET".to_string(),
);
// performing some queries on private data
println!("private/Balance: {}", query("Balance", "").await);
println!("private/TradeBalance: {}", query("TradeBalance","asset=ada" .await);
println!("private/Trades: {}", query("Trades", "pair=ethusd&since=1574067140000000000").await);
} ```
