# Exchange Integrations

This section provides documentation for integrating with different cryptocurrency exchanges.

## Architecture

The platform uses a modular architecture for exchange integration, allowing for easy addition of new exchanges without modifying core application logic.

### Core Components

- **`BaseDataCollector`**: An abstract base class defining the standard interface for all exchange collectors.
- **`ExchangeFactory`**: A factory for creating exchange-specific collector instances.
- **Exchange-Specific Modules**: Each exchange has its own module containing the collector implementation and any specific data processing logic.

For a high-level overview of the data collection system, see the [Data Collectors Documentation (`../data_collectors.md`)](../data_collectors.md).

## Supported Exchanges

### OKX
- **Status**: Production Ready
- **Features**: Real-time trades, order book, and ticker data.
- **Documentation**: [OKX Collector Guide (`okx.md`)]

### Binance
- **Status**: Planned
- **Features**: To be determined.

### Coinbase
- **Status**: Planned
- **Features**: To be determined.

## Adding a New Exchange

To add support for a new exchange, you need to:

1.  Create a new module in the `data/exchanges/` directory.
2.  Implement a new collector class that inherits from `BaseDataCollector`.
3.  Implement the exchange-specific WebSocket connection and data parsing logic.
4.  Register the new collector in the `ExchangeFactory`.
5.  Add a new documentation file in this directory explaining the implementation details.
