BIttrex release in March beta version of new site and WebSocket. GitHub repository have samples for usage WebSocket channel to subscribe for events.
Here is C# example:
using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.IO;
using System.IO.Compression;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
using Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.Client;
namespace WebsocketSample
{
public sealed class BittrexWebsocket
{
public delegate void BittrexCallback(string info);
private HubConnection _hubConnection { get; }
private IHubProxy _hubProxy { get; }
private BittrexCallback _updateExchangeState { get; }
private BittrexCallback _updateOrderState { get; }
private BittrexCallback _updateBalanceState { get; }
public BittrexWebsocket(
string connectionUrl,
BittrexCallback updateExchangeState,
BittrexCallback updateOrderState,
BittrexCallback updateBalanceState
)
{
// Set delegates
_updateExchangeState = updateExchangeState;
_updateOrderState = updateOrderState;
_updateBalanceState = updateBalanceState;
// Create connection to c2 SignalR hub
_hubConnection = new HubConnection(connectionUrl);
_hubProxy = _hubConnection.CreateHubProxy("c2");
// Register callback for uE (exchange state delta) events
_hubProxy.On(
"uE",
exchangeStateDelta => _updateExchangeState?.Invoke(exchangeStateDelta)
);
// Register callback for uO (order status change) events
_hubProxy.On(
"uO",
orderStateDelta => _updateOrderState?.Invoke(orderStateDelta)
);
// Register callback for uB (balance status change) events
_hubProxy.On(
"uB",
balanceStateDelta => _updateBalanceState?.Invoke(balanceStateDelta)
);
_hubConnection.Start().Wait();
}
public void Shutdown() => _hubConnection.Stop();
// marketName example: "BTC-LTC"
public async Task<bool> SubscribeToExchangeDeltas(string marketName) => await _hubProxy.Invoke<bool>("SubscribeToExchangeDeltas", marketName);
// The return of GetAuthContext is a challenge string. Call CreateSignature(apiSecret, challenge)
// for the response to the challenge, and pass it to Authenticate().
public async Task<string> GetAuthContext(string apiKey) => await _hubProxy.Invoke<string>("GetAuthContext", apiKey);
public async Task<bool> Authenticate(string apiKey, string signedChallenge) => await _hubProxy.Invoke<bool>("Authenticate", apiKey, signedChallenge);
// Decode converts Bittrex CoreHub2 socket wire protocol data into JSON.
// Data goes from base64 encoded to gzip (byte[]) to minifed JSON.
public static string Decode(string wireData)
{
// Step 1: Base64 decode the wire data into a gzip blob
byte[] gzipData = Convert.FromBase64String(wireData);
// Step 2: Decompress gzip blob into minified JSON
using (var decompressedStream = new MemoryStream())
using (var compressedStream = new MemoryStream(gzipData))
using (var deflateStream = new DeflateStream(compressedStream, CompressionMode.Decompress))
{
deflateStream.CopyTo(decompressedStream);
decompressedStream.Position = 0;
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(decompressedStream))
{
return streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
}
public static string CreateSignature(string apiSecret, string challenge)
{
// Get hash by using apiSecret as key, and challenge as data
var hmacSha512 = new HMACSHA512(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(apiSecret));
var hash = hmacSha512.ComputeHash(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(challenge));
return BitConverter.ToString(hash).Replace("-", string.Empty);
}
}
class Program
{
static public BittrexWebsocket.BittrexCallback CreateCallback(string name)
{
//
// In a real app, your code would do something useful based on the
// information accompanying each event.
//
return (info) =>
{
Console.WriteLine($"Callback Invoked: {name}");
Console.WriteLine(
BittrexWebsocket.Decode(info)
);
};
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Task task = Task.Run(
async () =>
{
string apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY";
string apiSecret = "YOUR_API_SECRET";
string baseUrl = "https://beta.bittrex.com/signalr";
var btx = new BittrexWebsocket(
baseUrl,
CreateCallback("exchange"),
CreateCallback("order"),
CreateCallback("balance")
);
// If we successfully authenticate, we'll be subscribed to the uO and uB events.
var isAuthenticated = await btx.Authenticate(
apiKey,
BittrexWebsocket.CreateSignature(apiSecret, await btx.GetAuthContext(apiKey))
);
// Register for orderbook updates on the BTC-ETH market
await btx.SubscribeToExchangeDeltas("BTC-ETH");
});
task.Wait();
Console.WriteLine("Press enter to exit sample...");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
Run in PackageManager Console to add SignalR dependency:
Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.Client -Version 2.3.0
Also to connect you need get Key and Secret from your account on Bittrex.
string apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY";
string apiSecret = "YOUR_API_SECRET";
For Bitfinex you can try next code:
using System;
using WebSocketSharp;
namespace ConsoleApp2
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (var ws = new WebSocket("wss://api.bitfinex.com/ws/2"))
{
ws.OnMessage += (sender, e) => Console.WriteLine(e.Data);
ws.Connect();
ws.Send("{\"event\":\"subscribe\", \"channel\":\"ticker\", \"pair\":\"BTCUSD\"}");
Console.ReadKey(true);
}
}
}
}
Requires dependency from Nuget:
Install-Package WebSocketSharp-NonPreRelease -Version 1.0.0
