Bitmex API

Fully featured, idiomatic Ruby library for BitMEX API.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'bitmex-api'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install bitmex-api

Usage

Overview

Bitmex client

require 'bitmex-api'

client = Bitmex::Client.new

# or add api_key, api_secret if you want to access private APIs
client = Bitmex::Client.new api_key: 'KEY', api_secret: 'SECRET'

REST API

Get last 10 messages from English channel:

messages = client.chat.messages channelID: 1, count: 10, reverse: true
puts messages.first.name

All REST API requests return either an Array or Bitmex::Mash, a pseudo-object that extends Hashie::Mash.

Websocket API

Generic Websocket API is implemented in #listen method. See the list of available Topics to subscribe to.

Listen to XBTUSD trades:

client.websocket.listen trade: 'XBTUSD' do |trade|
  puts trade.homeNotional
end

Or multiple topics at the same time:

client.websocket.listen liquidation: 'XBTUSD', trade: 'XBTUSD' do |data|
  puts data
end

Pass blocks to methods to receive data via Websocket API.

client.chat.messages channelID: 1 do |message|
  puts "#{message.user}: #{message.message}"
end

All Websocket API blocks yield a pseudo-object Bitmex::Mash.
