bittrex-package: Client for the Bittrex Crypto-Currency Exchange

In 2ndTime/bittrex2: Client for the Bittrex Exchange

Description

This software is in no way affiliated, endorsed, or approved by the Bittrex crypto-currency exchange or any of its affiliates. It comes with absolutely no warranty and should not be used in actual trading unless the user can read and understand the source and knows what they are doing.

The bittrex package is an R implementation of the REST interface used by the Bittrex crypto-currency exchange (https://bittrex.com). It provides functions for all endpoints currently (as of May 16, 2017) supported by the exchange. This includes the ability to retrieve price, volume, and orderbook information as well as the ability to trade crypto-currencies.

Calls to the exchange are categorized as either public, which includes requests for price, volume, and order book information, and private, which includes all requests requiring an account including placing buy or sell orders. Public calls can be used immediately after installing the package. Private calls require creating an account at https://bittrex.com and creating API and secret keys with appropriate permissions.

Private calls retrieve the API and secret key using the BITTREX_API_KEY and BITTREX_SECRET_KEY environment variables. These may be set by the user before opening the R session or, they can be set using the bt_authenticate() function.
