CryptoExchange.Net Skill

When to use

CryptoExchange.Net is the base library powering 28+ exchange-specific libraries (Binance.Net, Bybit.Net, OKX.Net, Kraken.Net, Coinbase.Net, etc.). You don't install it directly — you install the exchange libraries, which depend on it.

Three usage modes:

1. You target ONE exchange → use that exchange's library directly (e.g., Binance.Net), see its CLAUDE.md.
2. You target MULTIPLE exchanges → install each library you need + use CryptoExchange.Net.SharedApis interfaces — write code once, runs against any exchange. This is the main use case for this skill.
3. You want ALL exchanges in one package → install CryptoClients.Net, get ExchangeRestClient and ExchangeSocketClient with everything bundled.

Installation

For a multi-exchange project:

dotnet add package Binance.Net
dotnet add package JK.OKX.Net
dotnet add package Bybit.Net
# ... etc

Or the bundle:

dotnet add package CryptoClients.Net

Core Pattern: Shared Interfaces

Every exchange library exposes .SharedClient properties on its API surfaces. These implement the same interfaces from CryptoExchange.Net.SharedApis.

using Binance.Net.Clients;
using OKX.Net.Clients;
using Bybit.Net.Clients;
using CryptoExchange.Net.SharedApis;

// All three implement ISpotTickerRestClient
ISpotTickerRestClient binance = new BinanceRestClient().SpotApi.SharedClient;
ISpotTickerRestClient okx     = new OKXRestClient().UnifiedApi.SharedClient;
ISpotTickerRestClient bybit   = new BybitRestClient().V5Api.SharedClient;

// Single agnostic call — works against any of them
var symbol = new SharedSymbol(TradingMode.Spot, "BTC", "USDT");
var ticker = await binance.GetSpotTickerAsync(new GetTickerRequest(symbol));
// ticker.Data.LastPrice, ticker.Data.HighPrice, etc. — same model regardless of exchange

Core Pattern: SharedSymbol

Different exchanges format symbols differently — Binance uses BTCUSDT, OKX uses BTC-USDT, others may have other formats. SharedSymbol normalizes this:
