Coinnect

Coinnect is an MIT-licensed Rust library that connects applications to the HTTPS REST APIs of Bitstamp, Kraken, Poloniex and Bittrex, offering both exchange-specific raw APIs and a shared generic interface.

Practical overview

When it fits

Use Coinnect when a Rust application needs HTTPS REST access to one of its listed exchanges. For streaming data, the README directs developers to WebSocket or FIX instead.

Who it is for

  • Rust developers integrating exchange REST APIs into applications.
  • Builders of trading or exchange-integration tools who need documented ticker, order-book, balance or order operations.

Documented uses

  • Retrieve ticker, order-book and balance data through the generic API.
  • Add an order through the generic API.
  • Use exchange-specific raw methods when the generic API does not cover a needed operation.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The README says public methods can be used with empty credentials; private methods require exchange credentials.

  • The generic interface is under active development, and not every Bitstamp method is implemented.
  • Coinnect uses REST over HTTPS and is not intended for streaming.
  • The README characterizes the library as highly experimental.

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

Add Coinnect to a Rust crate

Declare Coinnect as a dependency and import it in a Rust crate.

Before you start

  • A Rust crate using Cargo.

Steps

  1. Add coinnect = "0.5" under [dependencies] in Cargo.toml.

  2. Add extern crate coinnect; to the crate root.

Expected outcome

The crate declares Coinnect as a dependency and imports the library.

Guide limitations

  • These setup steps do not demonstrate a completed exchange request.
  • The README describes the library as experimental.
