Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The project is available as a public, open-source MIT-licensed repository. The documented library environments include Node 18+, Python 3, PHP 8.1+, netstandard2.0/2.1, Go 1.20+, Java 21+ and web browsers.

  • Whether the required exchange or prediction market is supported
  • Which of the documented language and runtime options matches the project
  • Whether the project needs public APIs, private APIs, REST, WebSocket access or cross-exchange normalization
  • Whether the goal is market-data analysis, automated trading, order management or prediction-market collection

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Set up a Ccxt-based exchange integration

Create a software project that uses Ccxt as a common interface for supported exchanges or prediction markets.

Before you start

  • A supported development environment such as Node 18+, Python 3, PHP 8.1+, netstandard2.0/2.1, Go 1.20+, Java 21+ or a web browser.
  • A project requirement involving one or more supported exchanges or prediction markets.

Steps

  1. Choose the programming language and runtime relevant to the project.

  2. Install and integrate the Ccxt library for that environment.

  3. Select the exchange or prediction market supported by the library.

  4. Use the unified API for the required public or private market operation.

Expected outcome

The project has a Ccxt-based integration layer for working with a supported venue through a common API.

Guide limitations

  • The documented feature set covers supported venues and APIs; exchange-specific coverage should be checked for the intended integration.
  • This guide describes integration setup and API use, not a verified trading strategy or deployment process.
