Quick Start

Public API (No Authentication Required)

require 'buda_api'

# Create a public client
client = BudaApi.public_client

# Get all markets
markets = client.markets
puts "Available markets: #{markets.map(&:id).join(', ')}"

# Get ticker information
ticker = client.ticker("BTC-CLP")
puts "BTC-CLP price: #{ticker.last_price}"
puts "24h change: #{ticker.price_variation_24h}%"

# Get order book
order_book = client.order_book("BTC-CLP")
puts "Best ask: #{order_book.best_ask.price}"
puts "Best bid: #{order_book.best_bid.price}"
puts "Spread: #{order_book.spread_percentage}%"

Authenticated API (Trading)

require 'buda_api'

# Create authenticated client
client = BudaApi.authenticated_client(
  api_key: "your_api_key",
  api_secret: "your_api_secret"
)

# Check your balance
balance = client.balance("BTC")
puts "Available BTC: #{balance.available_amount}"

# Place a limit buy order
order = client.place_order("BTC-CLP", "Bid", "limit", 0.001, 50000000)
puts "Order placed: #{order.id}"

# Cancel the order
cancelled = client.cancel_order(order.id)
puts "Order cancelled: #{cancelled.state}"

Configuration

Configure the SDK globally:

cp examples/.env.example examples/.env

Edit .env and add your API credentials:

BUDA_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
BUDA_API_SECRET=your_api_secret_here

Run the examples:

# Public API example (no credentials needed)

Constants

The SDK provides convenient constants for all supported values:

# Currencies
BudaApi::Constants::Currency::BTC     # => "BTC"
BudaApi::Constants::Currency::ALL     # => ["BTC", "ETH", "CLP", ...]

# Markets  
BudaApi::Constants::Market::BTC_CLP   # => "BTC-CLP"
BudaApi::Constants::Market::ALL       # => ["BTC-CLP", "ETH-CLP", ...]

# Order types
BudaApi::Constants::OrderType::BID    # => "Bid" (buy)
BudaApi::Constants::OrderType::ASK    # => "Ask" (sell)

# Price types
BudaApi::Constants::PriceType::MARKET # => "market"
BudaApi::Constants::PriceType::LIMIT  # => "limit"

# Order states
BudaApi::Constants::OrderState::PENDING   # => "pending"
BudaApi::Constants::OrderState::TRADED    # => "traded"
BudaApi::Constants::OrderState::CANCELED  # => "canceled"

Rate Limiting

The SDK automatically handles rate limiting with exponential backoff retry logic. When rate limits are hit:

The request is automatically retried after a delay
The delay increases exponentially for subsequent retries
After maximum retries, a RateLimitError is raised

You can configure retry behavior:

BudaApi.configure do |config|
  config.retries = 5           # Maximum retry attempts
  config.timeout = 60          # Request timeout
end

Security

API Key Security

Never commit API keys to version control
Use environment variables or secure configuration management
Rotate API keys regularly
Use API keys with minimal required permissions

HMAC Authentication

The SDK automatically handles HMAC-SHA384 signature generation:

Generates a unique nonce for each request
Creates signature using HTTP method, path, body, and nonce
Includes proper headers: X-SBTC-APIKEY, X-SBTC-NONCE, X-SBTC-SIGNATURE

AI Features

The BudaApi Ruby SDK includes powerful AI enhancements through RubyLLM integration:

Trading Assistant

# Initialize AI trading assistant
assistant = BudaApi.trading_assistant(client)

# Get AI market analysis
analysis = assistant.analyze_market("BTC-CLP")
puts analysis[:ai_recommendation][:action]  # "buy", "sell", or "hold"
puts analysis[:ai_recommendation][:confidence]  # Confidence percentage

# Get trading strategy recommendations
strategy = assistant.suggest_trading_strategy(
  market_id: "BTC-CLP",
  risk_tolerance: "medium",
  investment_horizon: "short_term"
)

Natural Language Trading

# Create conversational trading interface
nl_trader = BudaApi.natural_language_trader(client)

# Execute commands in natural language
result = nl_trader.execute_command("Check my Bitcoin balance")
result = nl_trader.execute_command("What's the current price of Ethereum?")
result = nl_trader.execute_command("Buy 0.001 BTC at market price")

Risk Management

# Initialize AI risk manager
risk_manager = BudaApi::AI::RiskManager.new(client)

# Analyze portfolio risk with AI insights
portfolio_risk = risk_manager.analyze_portfolio_risk(
  include_ai_insights: true
)

# Evaluate individual trade risk
trade_risk = risk_manager.evaluate_trade_risk(
  "BTC-CLP", "buy", 0.001
)

Anomaly Detection

# Create market anomaly detector
detector = BudaApi::AI::AnomalyDetector.new(client)

# Detect market anomalies with AI analysis
anomalies = detector.detect_market_anomalies(
  markets: ["BTC-CLP", "ETH-CLP"],
  include_ai_analysis: true
)

Report Generation

# Generate AI-powered reports
reporter = BudaApi::AI::ReportGenerator.new(client)

# Portfolio summary with AI insights
report = reporter.generate_portfolio_summary(
  format: "markdown",
  include_ai: true
)

# Custom AI analysis
custom_report = reporter.generate_custom_report(
  "Analyze market trends and provide investment recommendations",
  [:portfolio, :market]
)
