Features

The crypto-exporter generates three sets of metrics. You can also get only the account_balance for off-exchange accounts (see: Off-Exchange Balances)

exchange_rate

The exchange rates for the symbols traded. Use this to get the tickers.

Example:

# HELP exchange_rate Current exchange rates
# TYPE exchange_rate gauge
exchange_rate{currency="BTC",exchange="bitfinex",reference_currency="USD"} 9386.9
exchange_rate{currency="LTC",exchange="bitfinex",reference_currency="USD"} 70.256
exchange_rate{currency="LTC",exchange="bitfinex",reference_currency="BTC"} 0.007498
exchange_rate{currency="ETH",exchange="bitfinex",reference_currency="USD"} 182.59
exchange_rate{currency="ETH",exchange="bitfinex",reference_currency="BTC"} 0.019445
exchange_rate{currency="ETC",exchange="bitfinex",reference_currency="BTC"} 0.0012486
exchange_rate{currency="ETC",exchange="bitfinex",reference_currency="USD"} 11.712
exchange_rate{currency="RRT",exchange="bitfinex",reference_currency="USD"} 0.0234

Account balance

Warning: To see the account balance, authentication is mandatory.

Example:

# HELP account_balance Account Balance
# TYPE account_balance gauge
account_balance{account="total",currency="XRP",exchange="kraken"} 279.39357642
account_balance{account="total",currency="XLM",exchange="kraken"} 14.0003552
account_balance{account="total",currency="ETH",exchange="kraken"} 9.29332537

Transaction totals

Warning To see the totals, authentication is mandatory.

Example:

# HELP transactions_total The transaction history for an account
# TYPE transactions_total gauge
transactions_total{currency="XLM",exchange="coinbase",reference_currency="EUR",type="trade"} -60.0
transactions_total{currency="XRP",exchange="coinbase",reference_currency="EUR",type="trade"} -50.0
transactions_total{currency="LTC",exchange="coinbase",reference_currency="EUR",type="trade"} -108.18
transactions_total{currency="ETH",exchange="coinbase",reference_currency="EUR",type="trade"} 149.5100000000007
transactions_total{currency="BTC",exchange="coinbase",reference_currency="EUR",type="trade"} -1639.779999999999

Usage

docker run --rm -it -p 9999:9999 \
  -e EXCHANGE="coinbasepro" \

  -e API_KEY="your_api_key" \
  -e API_SECRET="your_api_secret" \
  -e API_PASS="your_api_password" \
  -e REFERENCE_CURRENCIES="USD,EUR" \
  -e SYMBOLS="LTC/BTC,ETH/BTC" \
  -e GELF_HOST="graylog" \
  -e GELF_PORT="2201" \

  --name coinbasepro-exporter \
  registry.gitlab.com/ix.ai/crypto-exporter:latest

Supported variables

Variable	Default	Mandatory	Description
EXCHANGE	-	YES	See below Tested exchanges
API_KEY	-	NO	Set this to your Exchange API key
API_SECRET	-	NO	Set this to your Exchange API secret
API_PASS	-	NO	Only needed for certain exchanges (like coinbasepro)
API_UID	-	NO	Only needed for certain exchanges (like cex)
NONCE	milliseconds	NO	Some exchanges (looking at you, coinbasepro) don't support nonce in milliseconds, but want seconds
ENABLE_TICKERS	true	NO	Set this to anything else in order to disable retrieving the ticker rates
ENABLE_TRANSACTIONS	false	NO	Set this to true in order to enable retrieving the transaction totals. See also below ENABLE_TRANSACTIONS
DISABLE_FETCH_TICKERS	false	NO	Set this to true in order to use the slower method for fetching the tickers instead. See also Multiple Tickers For All Or Many Symbols
SYMBOLS	-	NO	See below for explanation (SYMBOLS and REFERENCE_CURRENCIES)
REFERENCE_CURRENCIES	-	NO	See below for explanation (SYMBOLS and REFERENCE_CURRENCIES)
DEFAULT_EXCHANGE_TYPE	-	NO	Some exchanges support multiple types (for example: binance supports future). You can set this here
TIMEOUT	10	NO	Timeout in seconds for each request sent to an exchange API
LOGLEVEL	INFO	NO	Logging Level. Additionally, you can specify TRACE for a really verbose logging
GELF_HOST	-	NO	If set, the exporter will also log to this GELF capable host on UDP
GELF_PORT	12201	NO	Ignored, if GELF_HOST is unset. The UDP port for GELF logging
PORT	9188	NO	The port for prometheus metrics

Note: Look at Off-Exchange Balances for additional supported environment variables.

SYMBOLS and REFERENCE_CURRENCIES

Since not all exchanges support getting the ticker with one request (coinbase, coinbasepro, bitstamp), crypto-exporter has to request for every traded pair the exchange rate. This takes a lot of time, especially if there are a lot of pairs traded (>50 minutes for one run with coinbase).

If you're only interested in a subset of those trade pairs, you can:

• set REFERENCE_CURRENCIES to a comma separated list of currencies, for which to retrieve all exchange rates (for example: EUR,USD)
• set SYMBOLS to a comma separated list of pairs (for example: BTC/EUR,BTC/USD,ETH/EUR,ETH/USD) and all the other pairs will be ignored

The two variables are cumulative. If you set both, for example REFERENCE_CURRENCIES=EUR and SYMBOLS=BTC/USDT, you will get the results for all trading pairs for EUR and BTC/USDT.

ENABLE_TRANSACTIONS

Note This metric is gathered for all the individual accounts that are found. If the exchange created a lot of currency accounts for you, it will take a while to query all

This metric can be interpreted as follows (from the example above):

transactions_total{currency="XRP",exchange="coinbase",reference_currency="EUR",type="trade"} -50.0
transactions_total{currency="ETH",exchange="coinbase",reference_currency="EUR",type="trade"} 149.5100000000007
transactions_total{currency="EUR",exchange="kraken",reference_currency="XLM",type="trade"} -596.117
transactions_total{currency="XLM",exchange="kraken",reference_currency="EUR",type="trade"} 69.14959999999999

• When looking at the sum of all XRP/EUR transactions, -50 EUR profit was made. So, more Euros were lost by buying XRP than were made by selling
• When looking at the sum of all ETH/EUR transactions, 149.51 EUR profit were made. So, more Euros were gained by selling ETH than were made by buying

This option is disabled by default, since there aren't many exchanges that support it and it increases the time, by querying the exchange. So far, it has been tested successfully with coinbase and kraken.

Tested exchanges

• coinbase
• coinbasepro
• kraken
• binance
• liquid
• poloniex
• bitfinex
• cex

Limited tests (without API credentials) have been done with:

• bitstamp
• hitbtc

All other exchanges supported by ccxt should work as well, however they are untested.
