Document advantage of CCXT-REST over CCXT
gitcoo opened this issue · comments
Hi and thanks for CCXT-REST!
I am having trouble understanding what advantage CCXT-REST has over CCXT?
I understood that CCXT already provided the unified API to interact with the exchanges.
Would you be able to explain how one might have advantage using CCXT-REST?
Thank you!
Hi,
If you are not using nodejs, python or php, then ccxt-rest will allow you to use ccxt even with a different language (i.e. Java, C#, Rust, Go, etc).
Also, we have users that’s mainly on NodeJS but are still using CCXT-REST, because it allows them to cluster the integration to the exchanges, instead of just clustering their whole app.
Cheers,
Franz
Ok excellent, this would work well because I would like to use the language I already know, newLISP!
One final request Franz, would you be able to explain a bit more in detail what you mean when you say ccxt-rest allows you to "cluster the integration to the exchanges, instead of just clustering their whole app"?
Thank you very much again for this powerful software! :0)
how to use CCXT-REST in python?
@lfzCarlosC same way you use regular REST calls in python
Check this for example:

just touching base but Im upgrading my monolith from a massive nodejs app -> to a nest-js microservice... now-> i can use this rest-api -> to make all my calls to the other endpoint. -> instead of having to write all my own functions I can send requests to a url
