Coinfloor's application programming interface (API) provides our clients programmatic access to control aspects of their accounts and to place orders on the Coinfloor trading platform. The Java client library exposes the Coinfloor API to your Java application.
The library presents three invocation models for each API method:
-
Synchronous. The method call returns the result of the method (or throws an exception). This is the easiest model to use, but it can result in poor performance, as it does not allow for pipelining of requests.
-
Asynchronous (Polled). The method call returns a
java.util.concurrent.Futureobject that can be polled or waited upon for the result of the method. This model is moderately easy to use and allows for pipelining of requests. See Example.java for an example of using this invocation model. -
Asynchronous (Callback). The method call accepts a
Callbackobject that will be notified when the result of the method is available. The callback must complete its work quickly (without blocking or waiting). This model is the most difficult to use but offers the most flexibility.
- Legion of the Bouncy Castle Java cryptography APIs (not needed on Java 8 or newer)
For an explanation of our API methods and what they return, please see our API specification.
All quantities and prices are transmitted and received as integers with implicit scale factors. For scale information, please see SCALE.md.
