API Documentation

Core Interfaces

The library is built around clean, testable interfaces:

Exchange Adapter Interface

type ExchangeAdapter interface {
    GetCandles(ctx context.Context, req CandleRequest) (*CandleResponse, error)
    GetTradingPairs(ctx context.Context) ([]TradingPair, error)
    GetExchangeInfo(ctx context.Context) (*ExchangeInfo, error)
}

// Usage
coinbase := exchange.NewCoinbase(exchange.CoinbaseConfig{
    RateLimit: 10,
    Timeout:   30,
})

Storage Interface

type Storage interface {
    Store(ctx context.Context, candles []Candle) error
    Query(ctx context.Context, req QueryRequest) (*QueryResponse, error)
    Initialize(ctx context.Context) error
    Close() error
}

// Usage with DuckDB
storage := storage.NewDuckDB(storage.DuckDBConfig{
    DatabasePath: "ohlcv_data.db",
    BatchSize:    10000,
})
defer storage.Close()

Collector Interface

type Collector interface {
    CollectHistorical(ctx context.Context, req HistoricalRequest) error
    CollectLatest(ctx context.Context, pairs []string, interval string) error
    GetMetrics(ctx context.Context) (*CollectionMetrics, error)
}

// Usage
collector := collector.New(exchange, storage)

Data Model

The core data structure ensures precision and consistency:

type Candle struct {
    Timestamp time.Time `json:"timestamp"`
    Open      string    `json:"open"`      // Decimal string for precision
    High      string    `json:"high"`
    Low       string    `json:"low"`
    Close     string    `json:"close"`
    Volume    string    `json:"volume"`
    Pair      string    `json:"pair"`      // e.g., "BTC-USD"
    Exchange  string    `json:"exchange"`  // e.g., "coinbase"
    Interval  string    `json:"interval"`  // e.g., "1d", "1h"
}

// High-precision decimal operations
price, _ := decimal.NewFromString(candle.Close)
volume, _ := decimal.NewFromString(candle.Volume)
value := price.Mul(volume) // Precise calculation

Supported Intervals

Interval Description Coinbase Support
1m 1 minute
5m 5 minutes
15m 15 minutes
1h 1 hour
6h 6 hours
1d 1 day

Error Handling

The library provides structured error types for better error handling:

// Retryable exchange errors
var exchangeErr *exchange.ExchangeError
if errors.As(err, &exchangeErr) && exchangeErr.Retryable {
    // Implement retry logic
    time.Sleep(exchangeErr.RetryAfter)
    // Retry the operation
}

// Storage errors
var storageErr *storage.StorageError
if errors.As(err, &storageErr) {
    log.Printf("Storage operation failed: %v", storageErr)
}

Extensibility

Adding New Exchanges

Implement the ExchangeAdapter interface to add support for new exchanges:

type BinanceExchange struct {
    apiKey    string
    apiSecret string
    rateLimit int
}

func (e *BinanceExchange) GetCandles(ctx context.Context, req contracts.CandleRequest) (*contracts.CandleResponse, error) {
    // Implement Binance API calls
    // Handle rate limiting, retries, and error handling
    return &contracts.CandleResponse{
        Candles: candles,
        Exchange: "binance",
    }, nil
}

func (e *BinanceExchange) GetTradingPairs(ctx context.Context) ([]contracts.TradingPair, error) {
    // Fetch available trading pairs from Binance
    return pairs, nil
}

func (e *BinanceExchange) GetExchangeInfo(ctx context.Context) (*contracts.ExchangeInfo, error) {
    // Return exchange metadata
    return &contracts.ExchangeInfo{
        Name: "binance",
        SupportedIntervals: []string{"1m", "5m", "15m", "1h", "4h", "1d"},
        RateLimit: e.rateLimit,
    }, nil
}

// Factory function
func NewBinance(config BinanceConfig) contracts.ExchangeAdapter {
    return &BinanceExchange{
        apiKey:    config.APIKey,
        apiSecret: config.APISecret,
        rateLimit: config.RateLimit,
    }
}

Adding Storage Backends

Implement the Storage interface for new storage systems:

type RedisStorage struct {
    client *redis.Client
}

func (s *RedisStorage) Store(ctx context.Context, candles []contracts.Candle) error {
    // Implement Redis storage with time-series data structures
    for _, candle := range candles {
        key := fmt.Sprintf("ohlcv:%s:%s", candle.Pair, candle.Interval)
        err := s.client.TSAdd(ctx, key, candle.Timestamp.Unix(), candle.Close).Err()
        if err != nil {
            return err
        }
    }
    return nil
}

func (s *RedisStorage) Query(ctx context.Context, req contracts.QueryRequest) (*contracts.QueryResponse, error) {
    // Implement Redis time-series queries
    key := fmt.Sprintf("ohlcv:%s:%s", req.Pair, req.Interval)
    results, err := s.client.TSRange(ctx, key, req.Start.Unix(), req.End.Unix()).Result()
    // Convert results to candles...
    return &contracts.QueryResponse{
        Candles: candles,
        QueryTime: time.Since(start),
    }, nil
}

func (s *RedisStorage) Initialize(ctx context.Context) error {
    // Set up Redis time-series modules and indexes
    return nil
}

func (s *RedisStorage) Close() error {
    return s.client.Close()
}

// Factory function
func NewRedis(config RedisConfig) contracts.Storage {
    return &RedisStorage{
        client: redis.NewClient(&redis.Options{
            Addr: config.Address,
            DB:   config.Database,
        }),
    }
}

Plugin Architecture

The library supports a plugin architecture for runtime extension:

// Register new exchange at runtime
exchange.Register("kraken", func(config map[string]interface{}) contracts.ExchangeAdapter {
    return NewKraken(parseKrakenConfig(config))
})

// Register new storage backend at runtime  
storage.Register("clickhouse", func(config map[string]interface{}) contracts.Storage {
    return NewClickHouse(parseClickHouseConfig(config))
})

// Use in configuration
config := map[string]interface{}{
    "exchange_type": "kraken",
    "storage_type":  "clickhouse",
    // Additional config...
}

Contributing

We welcome contributions! Here's how to get started:

Development Setup

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/johnayoung/go-ohlcv-collector.git
cd go-ohlcv-collector

# Install dependencies
go mod download

# Run tests to verify setup
go test ./...

# Run integration tests (optional, requires API access)
go test ./test/integration/...

Contributing Process

  1. Fork the repository and create your feature branch
  2. Write tests first following TDD practices
  3. Implement your feature with comprehensive error handling
  4. Run the full test suite: go test ./...
  5. Check code quality: golangci-lint run
  6. Update documentation as needed
  7. Submit a Pull Request with a clear description

Development Guidelines

  • Code Style: Follow Effective Go and Go Code Review Comments
  • Testing: Maintain 95%+ test coverage with contract, integration, and unit tests
  • Commits: Use conventional commit messages: feat:, fix:, docs:, etc.
  • Backward Compatibility: Ensure all public APIs maintain backward compatibility
  • Documentation: Update README and add godoc comments for new public functions

Testing Strategy

# Run all tests
go test ./...

# Run only contract tests
go test ./test/contract/...

# Run benchmarks
go test -bench=. ./test/benchmark/...

# Test coverage
go test -cover ./... -coverprofile=coverage.out
go tool cover -html=coverage.out

# Race condition testing
go test -race ./...

Adding Features

FAQ

General Questions

Q: What exchanges are currently supported? A: Currently Coinbase Pro is fully supported. Binance and Kraken adapters are planned for future releases.

Q: What storage options are available? A: DuckDB (recommended for analytics), in-memory (for testing), and PostgreSQL (planned). See the Storage Configuration section.

Q: Can I use this for real-time trading? A: The current version focuses on historical data collection. Real-time streaming is planned for v1.4.0.

Q: How much storage space will I need? A: Approximately 1.2MB per trading pair per year for daily data, 8.4MB for monthly hourly data. See Performance for details.

Technical Questions

Q: How does gap detection work? A: The gap detector analyzes timestamp sequences to identify missing candles based on the expected interval. It automatically schedules backfill jobs for detected gaps.

Q: Is the data validated for quality? A: Yes, the validation pipeline checks for price spikes, volume anomalies, and data consistency. Invalid data is flagged and can trigger alerts.

Q: Can I extend the library with custom exchanges? A: Absolutely! Implement the ExchangeAdapter interface. See Extensibility for examples.

Q: What happens if the exchange API is down? A: The collector implements exponential backoff and retry logic. Failed requests are automatically retried with appropriate delays.
