Topic: Command line interface for Mount Gox (Read 1185 times)
Awesome... just like a bloomberg terminal for those trying to emulate the awesomeness of being a trader
Hi,
I have programmed a command line tool to interact with Mount Gox. It is called mgcli. It implements the API functions except the withdraw bitcoins functions: https://mtgox.com/api
The benefit of mgci:
You want to trade Bitcoins at Mt. Gox.
Insteed of login in to Mount Gox, waiting, klicking here and there, entering an amount, klicking into an other field, entering a price - you simply enter something like
mgcli sellbtc 2.4 6.0
at the command prompt. This is an order to sell 2.4 Bitcoins for the price of 6$ per Bitcoin. With
mgcli orders or mgcli histroy BTC you can check the execution status of this order.
Other possible commands are:
mgcli ticker - shows ticker data
mgcli orders - shows orders
mgcli cancel order - cancel an order by id
...
For me this was an programming execise and the spin off of another project. It is written in scala, so you have to install a scala runtime enviroment. It is similar to the java runtime enviroment. Installation of mgcli is a little bit complicated.
