beldur/kraken-go-api-client

★ 214 · Go · MIT · updated Jun 2025

Example client library in GO for use with the kraken.com API.

An unofficial Go client for the Kraken cryptocurrency exchange REST API. The README itself now points you to Kraken's official Go client instead, which makes this repo effectively deprecated. Worth knowing about only for historical reference or if you're stuck on old code.

Typed response structs for common endpoints (Ticker, OHLC, OrderBook) so you're not hand-parsing JSON maps. Single-file implementation makes it easy to read the whole thing in one sitting. Has a test file, which is more than most quick exchange clients bother with. Still compiles and the last push is recent, so someone is at least keeping it from bitrotting.

Officially superseded — the README banner tells you to go elsewhere, which is a pretty clear signal to do exactly that. Only a handful of endpoints have strongly-typed wrappers; everything else falls back to the raw map-based Query method. No websocket support at all, which matters for any real trading use case. Travis CI config with no GitHub Actions migration suggests the maintenance posture is minimal.
