XChange is a Java library providing a simple and consistent API for interacting with 60+ Bitcoin and other crypto currency exchanges, providing a consistent interface for trading and accessing market data.
## Important!
The world of Bitcoin changes quickly and XChange is no exception. For the latest bugfixes and features you should use the [snapshot jars](https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public/org/knowm/xchange/) or build yourself from the `develop` branch. See below for more details about building with Maven. To report bugs and see what issues people are currently working on see the [issues page](https://github.com/knowm/XChange/issues).
## Description
XChange is a Java based library providing a simple and consistent API for interacting with a diverse set of crypto currency exchanges.
Basic usage is very simple: Create an `Exchange` instance, get the appropriate service, and request data. More complex usages are progressively detailed below.
## REST API
#### Public Market Data
To use public APIs which do not require authentication:
```java
Exchange bitstamp = ExchangeFactory.INSTANCE.createExchange(BitstampExchange.class);
MarketDataService marketDataService = bitstamp.getMarketDataService();
Ticker ticker = marketDataService.getTicker(CurrencyPair.BTC_USD);
System.out.println(ticker.toString());
```
#### Private Account Info
To use APIs which require authentication, create an `ExchangeSpecification` with your API credentials and pass this to `createExchange()`:
```java
ExchangeSpecification exSpec = new BitstampExchange().getDefaultExchangeSpecification();
exSpec.setUserName("34387");
exSpec.setApiKey("a4SDmpl9s6xWJS5fkKRT6yn41vXuY0AM");
exSpec.setSecretKey("sisJixU6Xd0d1yr6w02EHCb9UwYzTNuj");
Exchange bitstamp = ExchangeFactory.INSTANCE.createExchange(exSpec);
```
*Please Note:* while most exchanges use just an API key and secret key, others (such as `username` on Bitstamp or `passphrase` on Coinbase Pro) are exchange-specific. For more examples of adding the keys to the `ExchangeSpecification`, including storing them in a configuration file, see [Frequently Asked Questions](https://github.com/knowm/XChange/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions).
Once you have an authenticated `Exchange`, the private API services, `AccountService` and `TradeService`, can be used to access private data:
```java
// Get the account information
AccountService accountService = bitstamp.getAccountService();
AccountInfo accountInfo = accountService.getAccountInfo();
System.out.println(accountInfo.toString());
```
All exchange implementations expose the same API, but you can also directly access the underlying "raw" data from the individual exchanges if you need to.
## Websocket API
The above API is usually fully supported on all exchanges and is best used for occasional requests and polling on relatively long intervals. Many exchanges, however, heavily limit the frequency that these requests can be made, and advise instead that you use their websocket API if you need streaming or real-time data.
For a smaller number of exchanges, the websocket-based `StreamingExchange` API is also available. This uses [Reactive streams](http://reactivex.io/) to allow you to efficiently subscribe to changes relating to thousands of coin pairs without requiring large numbers of threads.
You will need to import an additional dependency for the exchange you are using (see below), then example usage is as follows:
```java
// Use StreamingExchangeFactory instead of ExchangeFactory
StreamingExchange exchange = StreamingExchangeFactory.INSTANCE.createExchange(BitstampStreamingExchange.class);
// Connect to the Exchange WebSocket API. Here we use a blocking wait.
exchange.connect().blockingAwait();
// Subscribe to live trades update.
Disposable subscription1 = exchange.getStreamingMarketDataService()
.getTrades(CurrencyPair.BTC_USD)
.subscribe(
trade -> LOG.info("Trade: {}", trade),
throwable -> LOG.error("Error in trade subscription", throwable));
// Subscribe order book data with the reference to the subscription.
Disposable subscription2 = exchange.getStreamingMarketDataService()
.getOrderBook(CurrencyPair.BTC_USD)
.subscribe(orderBook -> LOG.info("Order book: {}", orderBook));
// Wait for a while to see some results arrive
Thread.sleep(20000);
// Unsubscribe
subscription1.dispose();
subscription2.dispose();
// Disconnect from exchange (blocking again)
exchange.disconnect().blockingAwait();
```
Authentication, if supported for the exchange, works the same way as for the main API, via an `ExchangeSpecification`. For more information on what is supported, see the Wiki.

## Continuous Integration
[](https://github.com/knowm/XChange/actions/workflows/maven.yml)
## Getting Started
### Non-Maven
- [XChange Release Jars](http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cknowm%20xchange)
- [XChange Snapshot Jars](https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public/org/knowm/xchange/)
### Maven
The XChange release artifacts are hosted on Maven Central: [org.knowm.xchange](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.knowm.xchange)
Add the following dependencies in your pom.xml file. You will need at least xchange-core. Add the additional dependencies for the exchange modules you are interested in (XYZ shown only for a placeholder). There is example code for all the modules in xchange-examples.
```xml
org.knowm.xchange
xchange-core
5.2.0
org.knowm.xchange
xchange-XYZ
5.2.0
```
If it is available for your exchange, you may also want to use the streaming API:
```xml
org.knowm.xchange
xchange-stream-XYZ
5.2.0
```
For snapshots, add the following repository to your pom.xml file.
```xml
sonatype-oss-snapshot
https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots
```
The current snapshot version is:
5.2.1-SNAPSHOT
