crypto_ticker

CryptoTicker

Collection of public data API urls for various online crypto-currency exchanges, e.g. MtGox, BTC-e, etc.

I tried to follow the UNIX philosophy of "write programs which do one thing and do it well", so this module doesn't include a user-agent module. It only provides public data API URL's in one convenient location, and optionally, parses the data returned from those URLs. You'll have to use this in conjunction with 'mechanize' or 'net/http' or some other such module to actually do anything (see example).

Installation

gem install crypto_ticker

Usage

Example

require 'crypto_ticker'
require 'mechanize'
require 'pp'

agent = Mechanize.new

# get MtGox BTC/USD ticker URL:
url  = CryptoTicker::MtGox.ticker('BTC/USD')
json = agent.get( url ).body 

mtgox_data_hash = CryptoTicker::MtGox.info( json )
pp mtgox_data_hash
