CCXT is a multi‑language library that provides a unified API for interacting with over 100 cryptocurrency and prediction‑market exchanges. It supports REST and WebSocket endpoints, authentication, and data normalization across venues.
Use cases
- fetch real‑time market data from multiple crypto exchanges
- place, cancel and manage orders programmatically
- run backtesting or simulation of trading strategies across venues
- perform arbitrage by comparing prices on different exchanges
- integrate prediction‑market trading into a bot or AI agent
- build a crypto‑trading bot that works in Python, JavaScript, or other supported languages
When to choose
- You need a single, consistent API to access many crypto exchanges.
- Your project spans multiple programming languages (Python, JS, PHP, etc.).
- You want built‑in support for both REST and WebSocket (via CCXT Pro).
- You require quick prototyping of trading bots or data pipelines.
When to avoid
- You need ultra‑low‑latency, high‑frequency trading where custom low‑level code is required.
- The exchange you need is not yet supported by CCXT.
- You require proprietary features that are not exposed through the unified API.
