## Kucoin Exchange

### Current Features

+ REST Support
+ Websocket Support

### How to enable

+ [Enable via configuration](https://github.com/thrasher-corp/gocryptotrader/tree/master/config#enable-exchange-via-config-example)

+ Individual package example below:

```go
	// Exchanges will be abstracted out in further updates and examples will be
	// supplied then
```

### How to do REST public/private calls

+ If enabled via "configuration".json file the exchange will be added to the
IBotExchange array in the ```go var bot Bot``` and you will only be able to use
the wrapper interface functions for accessing exchange data. View routines.go
for an example of integration usage with GoCryptoTrader. Rudimentary example
below:

main.go
```go
var b exchange.IBotExchange

for i := range bot.Exchanges {
	if bot.Exchanges[i].GetName() == "Kucoin" {
		b = bot.Exchanges[i]
	}
}

// Public calls - wrapper functions

// Fetches current ticker information
tick, err := b.FetchTicker()
if err != nil {
	// Handle error
}

// Fetches current orderbook information
ob, err := b.FetchOrderbook()
if err != nil {
	// Handle error
}

// Private calls - wrapper functions - make sure your APIKEY and APISECRET are
// set and AuthenticatedAPISupport is set to true

// Fetches current account information
accountInfo, err := b.GetAccountInfo()
if err != nil {
	// Handle error
}
```

+ If enabled via individually importing package, rudimentary example below:

```go
// Public calls

// Fetches current ticker information
ticker, err := b.GetTicker()
if err != nil {
	// Handle error
}

// Fetches current orderbook information
ob, err := b.GetOrderBook()
if err != nil {
	// Handle error
}

// Private calls - make sure your APIKEY and APISECRET are set and
// AuthenticatedAPISupport is set to true

// GetUserInfo returns account info
accountInfo, err := b.GetUserInfo(...)
if err != nil {
	// Handle error
}

// Submits an order and the exchange and returns its tradeID
tradeID, err := b.Trade(...)
if err != nil {
	// Handle error
}
```

### How to do Websocket public/private calls

```go
	// Exchanges will be abstracted out in further updates and examples will be
	// supplied then
```
