RateSharp.Net

RateSharp.Net is a C# library for APIRates, a real-time FOREX API.

Pricing data provided in the API are valid real-time data from their respective markets, but meant for testing purposes.

Examples

There are four projects in this solution:

• RateSharp.Net is a class for clients who own an APIKey from APIRates.com,
• RateSharp.Net.Free is for users who wish to test the API, however it does have a limitation, it provides data on the EURUSD symbol alone.
• RateSharp.Net.Models contains data models used by both of the previous projects.
• RateSharp.Net.Test

RateSharp.Net.Free.Rates

The examples below demonstrate how to use the RateSharp.Net.Free.Rates class.

Retrieves the most recent update on the symbol EURUSD and prints to console.

var bar = new Free.Rates().GetBarUpdate(TimePeriod.M10);

Console.WriteLine("Open: {0}", bar.Open);
Console.WriteLine("Close: {0}", bar.Close);
Console.WriteLine("High: {0}", bar.High);
Console.WriteLine("Low: {0}", bar.Low);
Console.WriteLine("Time stamp: {0}", bar.Timestamp);

Retrieves the pricing data on all time periods for the EURUSD symbol, I've also used reflection to iterate through the type members in the example below.

var periods = new Free.Rates().GetAllPeriodsUpdate();
var periodProperties = periods.GetType().GetProperties();

foreach (var property in periodProperties)
{
    var bar = (SymbolBar)property.GetValue(periods);

    Console.WriteLine("Open: {0}", bar.Open);
    Console.WriteLine("Close: {0}", bar.Close);
    Console.WriteLine("High: {0}", bar.High);
    Console.WriteLine("Low: {0}", bar.Low);
    Console.WriteLine("Time stamp: {0}", bar.Timestamp);
}

Retrieves the pricing history on the symbol EURUSD.

var symbolHistory = new Free.Rates().GetBarHistory(TimePeriod.M5, DateTime.UtcNow.Subtract(TimeSpan.FromHours(1)));

foreach (var bar in symbolHistory)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Open: {0}", bar.Open);
    Console.WriteLine("Close: {0}", bar.Close);
    Console.WriteLine("High: {0}", bar.High);
    Console.WriteLine("Low: {0}", bar.Low);
    Console.WriteLine("Time stamp: {0}", bar.Timestamp);
}

RateSharp.Net

The examples below are demonstrating how to use the RateSharp.Net.Rates class. Please note that to use this library you need to have an API Key.

Retrieves the pricing data on a specified time period for the specified symbol

var bar = new Rates("ApiKey").GetBarUpdate(TimePeriod.M5, Symbol.EURNOK);

Console.WriteLine("Open: {0}", bar.Open);
Console.WriteLine("Close: {0}", bar.Close);
Console.WriteLine("High: {0}", bar.High);
Console.WriteLine("Low: {0}", bar.Low);
Console.WriteLine("Time stamp: {0}\n", bar.Timestamp);

Retrieves the pricing data for every symbol.

var allSymbols = new Rates("ApiKey").GetLotUpdate(TimePeriod.M60);
var periodProperties = allSymbols.GetType().GetProperties();

foreach (var property in periodProperties)
{
    if (!(property.GetValue(allSymbols) is SymbolBar)) continue;

    var bar = (SymbolBar)property.GetValue(allSymbols);
    bar.Timestamp = allSymbols.Timestamp;

    Console.WriteLine(property.Name);
    Console.WriteLine("Open: {0}", bar.Open);
    Console.WriteLine("Close: {0}", bar.Close);
    Console.WriteLine("High: {0}", bar.High);
    Console.WriteLine("Low: {0}", bar.Low);
    Console.WriteLine("Time stamp: {0}\n", bar.Timestamp);
}

Retrieves the specified symbols history.

var symbolHistory = new Rates("ApiKey").GetBarHistory(TimePeriod.M1, Symbol.TRYJPY, DateTime.Now.Subtract(new TimeSpan(1,0,0,0)));

foreach (var bar in symbolHistory)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Open: {0}", bar.Open);
    Console.WriteLine("Close: {0}", bar.Close);
    Console.WriteLine("High: {0}", bar.High);
    Console.WriteLine("Low: {0}", bar.Low);
    Console.WriteLine("Time stamp: {0}\n", bar.Timestamp);
}

Retrieves the pricing data on all time periods for the specified symbol. (The method below is using reflection to iterate through all of its properties.

var periods = new Rates("ApiKey").GetAllPeriodsUpdate(Symbol.USDTRY);
var periodProperties = periods.GetType().GetProperties();

foreach (var property in periodProperties)
{
    var bar = (SymbolBar)property.GetValue(periods);
    
    Console.WriteLine(property.Name);
    Console.WriteLine("Open: {0}", bar.Open);
    Console.WriteLine("Close: {0}", bar.Close);
    Console.WriteLine("High: {0}", bar.High);
    Console.WriteLine("Low: {0}", bar.Low);
    Console.WriteLine("Time stamp: {0}\n", bar.Timestamp);
}
