CCXT cryptocurrency exchange library for Rust developers. Covers both REST API (standard) and WebSocket API (real-time). Helps install CCXT, connect to exchanges, fetch market data, place orders, stream live tickers/orderbooks, handle authentication, and manage errors in Rust projects. Use when working with crypto exchanges in Rust applications, trading bots, or low-latency services. Async (tokio), typed wrappers returning Result<T, ExchangeError>.

What this skill does
CCXT for Rust A comprehensive guide to using CCXT in Rust projects for cryptocurrency exchange integration. Every exchange has a typed wrapper (ccxt::Binance, ccxt::Kraken, …) exposing the unified CCXT API with native Rust return types — Ticker, Order, OrderBook, Market — instead of a dynamic value. All methods are async and return Result<T, ExchangeError>. Installation REST API WebSocket API (ccxt.pro) Prediction markets Cargo.toml Requirements Rust stable, edition 2021 or later. A tokio runtime — every unified method is async. There is no sync API. ccxt alone is enough for REST. Add ccxt-pro only when you need watch; it is a separate crate so a REST-only build does not compile the whole WebSocket surface. Quick Start REST API WebSocket API — real-time updates Each watch call resolves to one decoded update, so consuming a stream is just calling it in a loop.
