• provide a set of well developed classes useful in representing concepts like
  • currency
  • money
  • exchange rate
  • currency exchange
  • exchange order
• promote their use
• provide API implementations of various bitcoin exchanges using them

import mexbtcapi
from mexbtcapi.concepts.currencies import USD
from mexbtcapi.concepts.currency import Amount


ten_dollars= Amount(10, USD)
for api in mexbtcapi.apis:
    exchange_rate= api.market(USD).getTicker().sell
    print "At %s I can get %s for my %s (that's %s)"%(api.name, exchange_rate.convert( ten_dollars ), ten_dollars, exchange_rate)

At the moment, this code returns this output:

At MtGox I can get 0.08 BTC for my 10.00 USD (that's 124.90 USD/BTC)
At Bitcoin-24 I can get 0.15 BTC for my 10.00 USD (that's 65.00 USD/BTC)

Pre-alpha. Discussion is in course in order to define the API features and interface.

If you're a potential user of this API - your opinion matters, so feel free to join the discussion. Developers are welcome too, obviously
