Kucoin.Net

Kucoin.Net is a strongly typed client library for accessing the Kucoin REST and Websocket API. All data is mapped to readable models and enum values. Additional features include an implementation for maintaining a client side order book, easy integration with other exchange client libraries and more.

Supported Frameworks

The library is targeting both .NET Standard 2.0 and .NET Standard 2.1 for optimal compatibility

Discord

A Discord server is available here. Feel free to join for discussion and/or questions around the CryptoExchange.Net and implementation libraries.

Getting Started

The packge is available on Nuget. After installing the package the Kucoin API is available by using the KucoinRestClient and KucoinSocketClient.

Installation

Add the package via dotnet, or add it via the package manager.

dotnet add package Kucoin.Net

API Access

Kucoin.Net can be configured using Dotnet dependency injection, after which the clients can be injected into your services. It also correctly configures logging and HttpClient usage.

builder.Services.AddKucoin(options => {
  // Options can be configured here, for example:
  options.ApiCredentials = new KucoinApiCredentials("APIKEY", "APISECRET", "PASS");
});

The IKucoinRestClient and IKucoinSocketClient can then be injected.

Alternatively the rest and socket client can be constructed directly

var restClient = new KucoinRestClient(options => {
  // Options can be configured here, for example:
  options.ApiCredentials = new KucoinApiCredentials("APIKEY", "APISECRET", "PASS");
});
var socketClient = new KucoinSocketClient();

Rate limiting

By default a rate limiter is enabled which makes sure the server rate limits aren't exceeded. For more info on what the rate limits for the Kucoin API are see the Spot API docs. Note that rate limiting is only implemented to prevent going over the request rate limit, it does not apply for order limits.

Whether client ratelimiting is enabled in the library and what the behaviour should be when the limit is reached can be controlled with the RatelimiterEnabled and RateLimitingBehaviour client options

services.AddKucoin(x =>
    x.RatelimiterEnabled = true;
    x.RateLimitingBehaviour = RateLimitingBehaviour.Wait;
}, x =>
{
    x.RatelimiterEnabled = true;
    x.RateLimitingBehaviour = RateLimitingBehaviour.Wait;
});

To be notified of when a rate limit is hit the static KucoinExchange.RateLimiter exposes an event which triggers when a rate limit is reached

KucoinExchange.RateLimiter.RateLimitTriggered += (rateLimitEvent) => Console.WriteLine("Limit triggered: " + rateLimitEvent);

// Output: Limit triggered: RateLimitEvent { ApiLimit = Public Rest, LimitDescription = Limit of 2000 per 00:00:30, RequestDefinition = GET api/v1/market/stats, Host = https://api.kucoin.com/, Current = 1995, RequestWeight = 15, Limit = 2000, TimePeriod = 00:00:30, DelayTime = 00:00:19.8111238, Behaviour = Wait }

Kucoin applies different rate limits based on the account VIP level. By default the rate limit is set to the most conservative VIP0 tier. To change the rate limit tier call the Configure method

KucoinExchange.RateLimiter.Configure(Kucoin.Net.Enums.VipLevel.Vip5);
