BitMEX.Net BitMEX.Net

.NET License

BitMEX.Net is a client library for accessing the BitMEX REST and Websocket API.

Features

  • Response data is mapped to descriptive models
  • Input parameters and response values are mapped to discriptive enum values where possible
  • High performance
  • Automatic websocket (re)connection management
  • Client side rate limiting
  • Client side order book implementation
  • Support for managing different accounts
  • Extensive logging
  • Support for different environments
  • Easy integration with other exchange client based on the CryptoExchange.Net base library
  • Native AOT support

Supported Frameworks

The library is targeting both .NET Standard 2.0 and .NET Standard 2.1 for optimal compatibility, as well as the latest dotnet versions to use the latest framework features.

|.NET implementation|Version Support| |--|--| |.NET Core|2.0 and higher| |.NET Framework|4.6.1 and higher| |Mono|5.4 and higher| |Xamarin.iOS|10.14 and higher| |Xamarin.Android|8.0 and higher| |UWP|10.0.16299 and higher| |Unity|2018.1 and higher|

How to use

Basic request:

// Get the ETH/USDT ticker via rest request
var restClient = new BitMEXRestClient();
var tickerResult = await restClient.ExchangeApi.ExchangeData.GetSymbolsAsync("ETHUSDT");
var lastPrice = tickerResult.Data.Single().LastPrice;

Place order:

var restClient = new BitMEXRestClient(opts => {
	opts.ApiCredentials = new BitMEXCredentials("APIKEY", "APISECRET");
});

// Place Limit order to go long for 10 contracts ETH/USD at 2000
var orderResult = await restClient.ExchangeApi.Trading.PlaceOrderAsync(
    "ETH_USD",
    OrderSide.Buy,
    OrderType.Limit,
    10,    
    2000);

WebSocket subscription:

// Subscribe to ETH/USDT ticker updates via the websocket API
var socketClient = new BitMEXSocketClient();
var tickerSubscriptionResult = socketClient.ExchangeApi.SubscribeToSymbolUpdatesAsync("ETHUSDT", (update) =>
{
	// If update.Data.LastPrice == null the price hasn't changed since last update
	if (update.Data.LastPrice != null)
	{ 
		var lastPrice = update.Data.LastPrice;
	}
});

For information on the clients, dependency injection, response processing and more see the documentation, or have a look at the examples here or here.

BitMEX Quantities

BitMEX handles quantities a bit differently than most exchange API's. Asset quantities like account balances are denoted in a base value.
For example 9846 XBt instead of 0.00009846 BTC. The same logic is also applied to trading quantities, if you want to place a spot order for 0.1 BTC you'd need to specify a quantity of 10000000 XBt. Note that futures trading works with contracts.
How many decimal places are used for each asset and symbol can be requested using the restClient.ExchangeApi.ExchangeData.GetAssetsAsync and restClient.ExchangeApi.ExchangeData.GetActiveSymbolsAsync endpoints.

The library offers an easy way of converting between these quantities with the ToSharedAssetQuantity, ToSharedSymbolQuantity, ToBitMEXAssetQuantity and ToBitMEXSymbolQuantity extension methods. For example:
Getting balance info

// Make sure to call this at least once at the start of the program to retrieve the conversion data
await BitMEXUtils.UpdateSymbolInfoAsync();

var balances = await bitMEXRestClient.ExchangeApi.Account.GetBalancesAsync();
foreach (var balance in balances.Data)
{
    var bitMEXQuantity = balance.Quantity; // The quantity as used in the BitMEX API, for example 1000000
    var bitMEXAssetName = balance.Currency; // The currency name as used in the BitMEX API, for example `gwei`
    var assetQuantity = balance.Quantity.ToSharedAssetQuantity(balance.Currency); // The quantity in the actual assset, for example 0.01
    var assetName = BitMEXUtils.GetAssetFromCurrency(balance.Currency); // The asset name, for example `ETH`
}

Placing spot order

// Make sure to call this at least once at the start of the program to retrieve the conversion data
await BitMEXUtils.UpdateSymbolInfoAsync();

var symbols = await bitMEXRestClient.ExchangeApi.ExchangeData.GetActiveSymbolsAsync();
var ethUsdtSpotSymbol = symbols.Data.SingleOrDefault(x => x.BaseAsset == "ETH" && x.QuoteAsset == "USDT" && x.SymbolType == SymbolType.Spot);
var minQuantityInBaseUnit = ethUsdtSpotSymbol.LotSize; // For example 1000
var minQuantityInETH = ethUsdtSpotSymbol.LotSize.ToSharedSymbolQuantity(ethUsdtSpotSymbol.Symbol); // For example 0.001

var quantityToPlace = 0.1m;
var quantityBitMEX = quantityToPlace.ToBitMEXSymbolQuantity(ethUsdtSpotSymbol.Symbol); // For example 1000000
var result = await bitMEXRestClient.ExchangeApi.Trading.PlaceOrderAsync(ethUsdtSpotSymbol.Symbol, OrderSide.Buy, OrderType.Market, quantityBitMEX);

CryptoExchange.Net

BitMEX.Net is based on the CryptoExchange.Net base library. Other exchange API implementations based on the CryptoExchange.Net base library are available and follow the same logic.

CryptoExchange.Net also allows for easy access to different exchange API's.
