Drop the component, set keys, subscribe

Set Kucoin.ApiKey / Kucoin.ApiSecret / Kucoin.ApiPassPhrase, pair with a TsgcWebSocketClient, and let the component perform the public/private token bootstrap.

uses
  sgcWebSocket, sgcWebSocket_API_Kucoin;

var
  WSClient: TsgcWebSocketClient;
  KuCoin: TsgcWSAPI_Kucoin;
begin
  WSClient := TsgcWebSocketClient.Create(nil);

  KuCoin := TsgcWSAPI_Kucoin.Create(nil);
  KuCoin.Client := WSClient;
  KuCoin.Kucoin.ApiKey         := 'your-api-key';
  KuCoin.Kucoin.ApiSecret      := 'your-api-secret';
  KuCoin.Kucoin.ApiPassPhrase  := 'your-pass-phrase';

  WSClient.Active := True;

  KuCoin.SubscribeTicker('BTC-USDT');
  KuCoin.SubscribeLevel2('BTC-USDT');
  KuCoin.SubscribeMatch('BTC-USDT');
end;
// uses: sgcWebSocket, sgcWebSocket_API_Kucoin
TsgcWebSocketClient *WSClient = new TsgcWebSocketClient(this);
TsgcWSAPI_Kucoin *KuCoin = new TsgcWSAPI_Kucoin(this);
KuCoin->Client = WSClient;

WSClient->Active = true;
KuCoin->SubscribeTicker("BTC-USDT");
KuCoin->SubscribeLevel2("BTC-USDT");

What's inside

Token-bootstrap handshake, spot market streams, level2/level3 incremental updates, private balance and order channels.

Token-bootstrap handshake

KuCoin requires a one-shot REST call to obtain a connect-token and endpoint before opening the WebSocket. The component performs that step transparently before connecting.

Spot streams

SubscribeTicker, SubscribeSnapshot, SubscribeLevel2, SubscribeLevel3, SubscribeMatch, SubscribeCandles cover every spot public channel.

Private channels

Authenticated streams (balance, orderChange, tradeOrder) open after the private connect-token flow — signed with ApiKey, ApiSecret and ApiPassPhrase.

Level 2 / Level 3 deltas

Incremental updates over the L2/L3 channels let you reconstruct the full book locally — the component exposes both snapshot and delta events separately.

Heartbeats

KuCoin uses application-layer ping/pong; the component answers automatically and tracks the interval the gateway negotiates at connect time.

Futures sibling

TsgcWSAPI_Kucoin_Futures targets the futures contract gateway with the same patterns — one component class per product family.
