cryptor

Overview

cryptor is an R package that wraps around the API's of Kraken, Binance and Nomics. The package can be used to access cryptocurrency-related data. To some extent, it can be used to manage a portfolio of cryptocurrencies on a centralized exchange.

Installation

# The easiest way to obtain the package is to install the development version from GitHub:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("minornode/cryptor")

Dependencies

The library comes with quite some dependencies. Installing the cryptor package should also install the following packages:

dplyr (>= 0.7.5),
tidyr (>= 0.8.1),
plyr (>= 1.8.4),
magrittr (>= 1.5),
httr (>= 1.3.1),
jsonlite (>= 1.5),
digest (>= 0.6.15),
base64enc (>= 0.1-3),
assertthat (>= 0.2.0.9000),
lubridate (>= 1.7.4),
data.table (>= 1.11.4)

Usage

To use the functionality of the API's you can either call a public query (e.g. [kraken_servertime()]) or alternatively to call a private query you must first set the credentials using the appropriate function (e.g. [credentials_kraken()]).

# All nomics endpoints require a signature
credentials_nomics(key = "2018-09-demo-dont-deploy-b69315e440beb145") # demo API key can be outdated
nomics_markets()

# Public Kraken API calls can be called without credentials
kraken_assetpairs()

# Private Kraken API calls require credentials to be set first
credentials_kraken(key = 'abcd', secret = '123')
kraken_ledger()
