  • Input parameters and response values are mapped to discriptive enum values where possible
  • High performance
  • Automatic websocket (re)connection management
  • Client side rate limiting
  • Client side order book implementation
  • Support for managing different accounts
  • Extensive logging
  • Support for different environments (production, testnet)
  • Easy integration with other exchange client based on the CryptoExchange.Net base library
  • Native AOT support

How to use

Basic request:

// Get the ETH/USDT ticker via rest request
var restClient = new KucoinRestClient();
var tickerResult = await restClient.SpotApi.ExchangeData.GetTickerAsync("ETH-USDT");
var lastPrice = tickerResult.Data.LastPrice;

Place order:

var restClient = new KucoinRestClient(opts => {
	opts.ApiCredentials = new KucoinCredentials("APIKEY", "APISECRET");
});

// Place Limit order to go long for 0.1 ETH at 2000
var orderResult = await restClient.FuturesApi.Trading.PlaceOrderAsync(
    "ETHUSDTM",
    OrderSide.Buy,
    NewOrderType.Limit,
    quantity: 10,
    price: 2000,
    positionSide: PositionSide.Long
    );

WebSocket subscription:

// Subscribe to ETH/USDT ticker updates via the websocket API
var socketClient = new KucoinSocketClient();
var tickerSubscriptionResult = socketClient.SpotApi.SubscribeToTickerUpdatesAsync("ETH-USDT", (update) =>
{
	var lastPrice = update.Data.LastPrice;
});
