From sgcWebSockets 2022.3.0, Kucoin Futures API is supported. Kucoin is an international multi-language cryptocurrency exchange. It offers some APIs to access Kucoin data. The following APIs are supported:
REST API: clients can request to server market and account data. Requires an API Key, Secret and Passphrase to authenticate and uses HTTPs as protocol.
In order to connect to Kucoin WebSocket API, just create a new Kucoin API client and attach to TsgcWebSocketClient.
See below an example:
oClient := TsgcWebSocketClient.Create(nil); oKucoin := TsgcWSAPI_Kucoin_Futures.Create(nil); oKucoin.Client := oClient; oClient.Active := True;
Kucoin offers a variety of channels where you can subscribe to get real-time updates of market data, orders... Find below a sample of how subscribe to a Ticker:
oClient := TsgcWebSocketClient.Create(nil); oKucoin := TsgcWSAPI_Kucoin_Futures.Create(nil); oKucoin.Client := oClient; oKucoin.SubscribeSymbolTickerV2('XBTUSDM'); procedure OnMessage(Connection: TsgcWSConnection; const aText: string); begin // here you will receive the ticker updates end;
First you must create an API Key in your Kucoin account and add privileges to trading with Futures.
Once this is done, you can start futures trading.
First, set your ApiKey, ApiSecret and Passphrase in the Kucoin Client Component, this will be used to sign the requests sent to Kucoin server.
// Place Market Order 1 XBTUSDM oKucoin := TsgcWSAPI_Kucoin_Futures.Create(nil); oKucoin.Kucoin.ApiKey := '<api key>'; oKucoin.Kucoin.ApiSecret := '<api secret>'; oKucoin.Kucoin.Passphrase := '<passphrase>'; ShowMessage(oKucoin.REST_API.PlaceMarketOrder(kosBuy, 'XBTUSDM', 1)); // Place Limit Order 1 XBTUSDM at 40000 oKucoin := TsgcWSAPI_Kucoin_Futures.Create(nil); oKucoin.Kucoin.ApiKey := '<api key>'; oKucoin.Kucoin.ApiSecret := '<api secret>'; oKucoin.Kucoin.Passphrase := '<passphrase>'; ShowMessage(oKucoin.REST_API.PlaceLimitOrder(kosBuy, 'XBTUSDM', 1, 40000));
