What is CCXT?

CCXT (Cryptocurrency Exchange Trading library) is software used by coders, developers, technically skilled traders, data scientists, and financial analysts for building trading algorithms. It is a JavaScript / TypeScript / Python /C# / PHP cryptocurrency trading API with support for more than 100 Bitcoin and Altcoin exchanges. Learn more

 

The CCXT library is used to connect and trade with cryptocurrency exchanges and payment processing services worldwide. It provides quick access to market data for storage, analysis, visualization, indicator development, algorithmic trading, strategy backtesting, bot programming, and related software engineering.

 

Why integrate with CCXT?

Coinmetro users can now connect their Coinmetro accounts to CCXT applications, making a crucial step towards improved API functionality and future partnerships. The development offers traders more tools and flexibility for trading strategies.

We are committed to providing our users with a seamless and efficient trading experience for our community, whilst also paving the way for Coinmetro to forge new partnerships, expanding its reach and influence in the crypto market. Meanwhile, we will continue to improve our API accessibility performance and support with future updates.

 

How to Create a CCXT API Access Token

You can create an access token for the CCXT API from your Account Settings. There are different steps for this process, depending on whether you're using the Browser or Mobile App version of Coinmetro.

On Desktop or Browser On the Mobile App

  1. Click on your user avatar on the left sidebar menu on your Dashboard.

  2. Click on the "Activity" tab.
  3. Scroll down and find "API Tokens"

  4. You have the option to click on either "New Read-Only API Token" or " New Full-Access API Token".

  1. From the home screen, tap on your user avatar in the top left-hand corner.

  2. Tap on "Connections".
  3. Scroll down and find "API Tokens".

  4. You have the option to tap on either "Read-Only API Token" or "Full-Access API Token".

Once selected, both a public and private key will be generated. Please make sure to save the provided keys somewhere secure as these are necessary for recovery. 

You will also receive an email where you need to press the confirm button to allow API access.

 

Important note

For CCXT, you need to use coinmetro.uid and coinmetro.token instead of coinmetro.apiKey and coinmetro.secret.

For example:

 
 
1. const coinmetro = new ccxt.coinmetro () 2. coinmetro.uid = 'YOUR_coinmetro_DEVICE_ID' 3. coinmetro.token = 'YOUR_coinmetro_FULL-ACCESS_TOKEN' or 'YOUR_coinmetro_READ-ONLY_TOKEN'
