Welcome to the Go implementation of the KuCoin Universal SDK. This SDK is built based on KuCoin API specifications to provide a comprehensive and optimized interface for interacting with the KuCoin platform.
For an overview of the project and SDKs in other languages, refer to the Main README.
Install the Golang SDK using go get
:
go get github.com/Kucoin/kucoin-universal-sdk/sdk/golang
go mod tidy
Here's a quick example to get you started with the SDK in Go.
package main
import (
"context"
"github.com/Kucoin/kucoin-universal-sdk/sdk/golang/pkg/api"
"github.com/Kucoin/kucoin-universal-sdk/sdk/golang/pkg/common/logger"
"github.com/Kucoin/kucoin-universal-sdk/sdk/golang/pkg/generate/spot/market"
"github.com/Kucoin/kucoin-universal-sdk/sdk/golang/pkg/types"
"os"
)
func example() {
// Use the default logger or supply your custom logger
defaultLogger := logger.NewDefaultLogger()
logger.SetLogger(defaultLogger)
// Retrieve API secret information from environment variables
key := os.Getenv("API_KEY")
secret := os.Getenv("API_SECRET")
passphrase := os.Getenv("API_PASSPHRASE")
// Set specific options, others will fall back to default values
httpOption := types.NewTransportOptionBuilder().
SetKeepAlive(true).
SetMaxIdleConnsPerHost(10).
Build()
// Create a client using the specified options
option := types.NewClientOptionBuilder().
WithKey(key).
WithSecret(secret).
WithPassphrase(passphrase).
WithSpotEndpoint(types.GlobalApiEndpoint).
WithFuturesEndpoint(types.GlobalFuturesApiEndpoint).
WithBrokerEndpoint(types.GlobalBrokerApiEndpoint).
WithTransportOption(httpOption).
Build()
client := api.NewClient(option)
// Get the Restful Service
kuCoinRestService := client.RestService()
// Get Spot Market API
spotMarketAPI := kuCoinRestService.GetSpotService().GetMarketAPI()
request := market.NewGetPartOrderBookReqBuilder().
SetSymbol("BTC-USDT").
SetSize("20").
Build()
// Query for part orderbook depth data. (aggregated by price)
response, err := spotMarketAPI.GetPartOrderBook(request, context.Background())
if err != nil {
logger.GetLogger().Errorf("failed to get part order book: %v", err)
return
}
logger.GetLogger().Infof("time=%d, sequence=%s, bids=%v, asks=%v", response.Time, response.Sequence, response.Bids, response.Asks)
}

This section provides specific considerations and recommendations for using the REST and WebSocket APIs.
- Advanced HTTP Handling:
- Supports retries, persistent connections, and connection pooling for efficient request handling.
- Extensible Interceptors:
- Provides HTTP interceptors that users can extend to customize request and response processing.
- Rich Response Details:
- Includes rate-limiting information and raw response data in API responses for better debugging and control.
- Public API Access:
- For public endpoints, API keys are not required, simplifying integration for non-authenticated use cases.
- Flexible Service Creation:
- Supports creating services for public/private channels in Spot, Futures, or Margin trading as needed.
- Multiple services can be created independently.
- Service Lifecycle:
- If a service is closed, create a new service instead of reusing it to avoid undefined behavior.
- Connection-to-Channel Mapping:
- Each WebSocket connection corresponds to a specific channel type. For example:
- Spot public/private and Futures public/private services require 4 active WebSocket connections.
- Each WebSocket connection corresponds to a specific channel type. For example:
- Simple Thread Model:
- WebSocket services follow a simple thread model, ensuring callbacks are handled on a single thread.
- Subscription Management:
- Subscriptions are synchronous. A subscription is considered successful only after receiving an acknowledgment (ACK) from the server.
- Each subscription has a unique ID, which can be used for unsubscribe.
- Framework-Managed Threads:
- Data messages are handled by a single framework-managed thread, ensuring orderly processing.
- Buffer Management:
- When the message buffer is full, excess messages are dropped, and a notification event is sent.
- Duplicate Subscriptions:
- Avoid overlapping subscription parameters. For example:
- Subscribing to
["BTC-USDT", "ETH-USDT"]
and then to["ETH-USDT", "DOGE-USDT"]
may result in undefined behavior. - Identical subscriptions will raise an error for duplicate subscriptions.
- Subscribing to
- Avoid overlapping subscription parameters. For example:
This section provides details about the configurable parameters for both HTTP and WebSocket client behavior.
