The wiki section of this repository will provide instructions on how to set up and develop against the BuaBook API Interface.

Introduction

We have released the BuaBook API Interface for use by anyone wanting to programmatically trade with the markets provided on our website, BuaBook.

The application manages the communication between the BuaBook API and itself, handling session management (login and keep-alive) and providing a simplified API based on bi-directional WebSocket communication.

Quick Start

• Visit the releases page to download the current version
• Download the configuration file for development and add your BuaBook user name and password
• Start the application

Application Requirements

To use the BuaBook API Interface, you need:

• JVM version 8 or greater (we use Oracle's)
• HTTPS and WebSocket connectivity to the BuaBook API as defined in the BuaBook API documentation
• Bi-directional WebSocket Text Message communication with support for stringified JSON
• A BuaBook DEV / UAT / PROD account with "direct API access". See the Request Access to BuaBook API page for more information.
