An application programming interface (API) is used to let third parties access information or perform operations via the service provider; in this case, the Nash exchange. The Nash API will provide developers with specific formats for making requests, which will result in a response or action being committed on the exchange, such as initiating a trade.
For the Nash API, the release may help encourage the creation of trading bots, a useful tool for providing liquidity through algorithmic market making.
Thomas Saunders, Nash co-founder and the original creator of the recently updated neo-python, also tweeted about the API, sharing a GitLab link where users can ask questions or provide feedback in the form of issues.
Python is the second language to be made available for accessing the Nash API; JavaScript developers may prefer to use the previously released TypeScript API client. According to Fabio C. Canesin, Nash co-founder, a Go client is also being prepared for release in the near future.
