Overview

A class that cooperates with the redis gem and the redis key value store to cache the data from the exchange api in redis

Examples:

  c.cache_host = 'Your redis host' 
  c.cache_port = 'Your redis port (an Integer)'

Parameters:

  • api (Exchange::ExternalAPI::Subclass) —

    The API class the data has to be stored for

  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    the options to cache with

Options Hash (opts):

  • :at (Time) —
