Document advantage of CCXT-REST over CCXT

[gitcoo]

Hi and thanks for CCXT-REST!

I am having trouble understanding what advantage CCXT-REST has over CCXT?

I understood that CCXT already provided the unified API to interact with the exchanges.

Would you be able to explain how one might have advantage using CCXT-REST?

Thank you!

Hi,

If you are not using nodejs, python or php, then ccxt-rest will allow you to use ccxt even with a different language (i.e. Java, C#, Rust, Go, etc).

Also, we have users that’s mainly on NodeJS but are still using CCXT-REST, because it allows them to cluster the integration to the exchanges, instead of just clustering their whole app.

Cheers,
Franz

Ok excellent, this would work well because I would like to use the language I already know, newLISP!

One final request Franz, would you be able to explain a bit more in detail what you mean when you say ccxt-rest allows you to "cluster the integration to the exchanges, instead of just clustering their whole app"?

Thank you very much again for this powerful software! :0)

how to use CCXT-REST in python?

[aahutsal]

@lfzCarlosC same way you use regular REST calls in python
Check this for example:

just touching base but Im upgrading my monolith from a massive nodejs app -> to a nest-js microservice... now-> i can use this rest-api -> to make all my calls to the other endpoint. -> instead of having to write all my own functions I can send requests to a url
