## What it is
A Python library that consumes real-time market data from dozens of cryptocurrency exchanges over websockets (with REST polling fallback) and normalizes events like trades, tickers, and order book updates into user-registered callbacks. It includes built-in backends for storing data in systems such as InfluxDB, Redis, Kafka, and more.

## Use cases
- stream live trades from binance and coinbase into my own strategy
- capture real-time order book updates from multiple crypto exchanges
- normalize market data feeds from kraken and okx into a common format
- record crypto tickers and funding rates to a database
- build a market data pipeline for bitcoin and ethereum prices
- monitor liquidations and open interest across exchanges

## When to choose
- you need normalized real-time market data from many exchanges with one consistent API
- you want websocket feeds with callbacks and ready-made storage backends
- you are building trading, analytics, or monitoring tools on crypto market data in Python

## When to avoid
- you need order execution or account management - this is market data only
- you need a single exchange with exotic features not covered by cryptofeed's adapters
- you are not working in Python
