Package ccex
[@ccex] is a RESTful R [@R] client for the
C-Cex crypto-currency exchange [@ccex_site]. The package provides
functions for all endpoints supported by the exchange including the
ability to retrieve price, volume, and order book 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 directly by installing the package. Private calls require that you create an account and create an API and secret key with appropriate permissions.
Private calls retrieve the API and secret key using the CCEX_API_KEY and CCEX_SECRET_KEY environment variables. These may be set by the user before opening the R session or, they can be set using the 'ccex_authenticate' function.
