ccxt-falcon-prototype

A web API to fetch the prices of crypto-assets, fully written in Python.

What comes in the box?

ccxt-falcon-prototype has been split into 2 different Python files:

• aggregator.py
• server.py

The aggregator is responsible for aggregating data, and the server is responsible for serving API requests from clients.

Dependencies

• ccxt
• falcon
• gunicorn
• psycopg2

You will also need a working PostgreSQL database to store asset data in. Also, please use python 3.x and not python 2.x :)

How do I set this up?

This is the setup procedure I use on an Ubuntu LXC container:

apt update && apt -y upgrade
apt install ca-certificates -y
apt install build-essential git python3 python3-dev python3-setuptools

apt install postgresql libpq-dev -y
sudo -u postgres psql
ALTER USER postgres PASSWORD 'PasswordGoesHere';
CREATE DATABASE exchange_db OWNER postgres;
\c exchange_db
CREATE TABLE ticker_prices(
	exchange VARCHAR NOT NULL,
	base VARCHAR NOT NULL,
	quote VARCHAR NOT NULL,
	timestamp BIGINT NOT NULL,
	bid FLOAT,
	ask FLOAT,
	high FLOAT,
	low FLOAT
);
