@hackage bitx-bitcoin0.7.0.2

(Hopefully useful) Haskell bindings to the BitX bitcoin exchange's API.

As a minimal example, to get the current selling price (in South African Rand) of bitcoin on the BitX exchange, do the following:

{-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-}

import Control.Lens ((^.))
import Network.Bitcoin.BitX (BitXAPIResponse(..), getTicker, CcyPair(..))
import qualified Network.Bitcoin.BitX as BitX
import Data.Text (unpack)
import Network.HTTP.Types.Status (Status(..))
import Network.HTTP.Client (responseStatus)

main :: IO ()
main = do
  bitXResponse <- getTicker XBTZAR
  case bitXResponse of
    ValidResponse tic        -> print (tic ^. BitX.ask)
    ErrorResponse err        ->
        error $ "BitX error received: \"" ++ unpack (err ^. BitX.error) ++ "\""
    ExceptionResponse ex     ->
        error $ "Exception was thrown: \"" ++ show ex ++ "\""
    UnparseableResponse resp ->
        error $ "Bad HTTP response; HTTP status code was: \"" ++ (show . statusCode . responseStatus $ resp) ++ "\""

Note that the code snippet above depends on http-types, text, http-client, lens (or any lens-compatible package, such as microlens), and finally bitx-bitcoin.

This library is known to work on Windows, but if you wish to use it then you will have to do a bit more work due to the Network library not building on Windows out of the box. See this blog post by Neil Mitchell.
