+# Orderbook Ingestion (Binance + OKX)
+
+This repository provides a Python (uv-managed) foundation to ingest **real-time** and **historical** orderbook data for **ETH/USDT** from **Binance** and **OKX**, store snapshots/updates in **PostgreSQL**, and prepare for future order placement.
+
+## Goals
+
+- Real-time orderbook streaming (WebSocket) for ETH/USDT (spot + perp as needed).
+- Historical snapshot pulls (REST) for ETH/USDT.
+- Store snapshots and updates in PostgreSQL.
+- Prepare for order placement (spot/perp) with API keys.
+- Provide simulated data generators for fast tests.
+- Docker + docker-compose for easy deployment.
+
+## Required APIs & Credentials
+
+You can prepare these API permissions up front:
+
+### Binance
+
+**Public (no key required)**
+- **REST snapshot (spot)**: `GET /api/v3/depth?symbol=ETHUSDT&limit=1000`
+- **REST snapshot (perp)**: `GET /fapi/v1/depth?symbol=ETHUSDT&limit=1000`
+- **WebSocket stream (spot)**: `wss://stream.binance.com:9443/ws/ethusdt@depth@100ms`
+- **WebSocket stream (perp)**: `wss://fstream.binance.com/ws/ethusdt@depth@100ms`
+
+**Private (key required)**
+- **Spot order placement**: `POST /api/v3/order`
+- **Futures order placement**: `POST /fapi/v1/order`
+
+Required permissions: **Spot Trading** and/or **Futures Trading**; enable **Read** for account and order status.
+
+### OKX
+
+**Public (no key required)**
+- **REST snapshot**: `GET /api/v5/market/books?instId=ETH-USDT&sz=400`
+- **WebSocket stream**: `wss://ws.okx.com:8443/ws/v5/public` with subscribe message:
+  ```json
+  {"op": "subscribe", "args": [{"channel": "books", "instId": "ETH-USDT"}]}
+  ```
+
+**Private (key required)**
+- **Order placement (spot/perp)**: `POST /api/v5/trade/order`
+
+Required permissions: **Trade** and **Read** for account/order status. Ensure passphrase is set.
+
+## Quick Start (uv)
+
+```bash
+uv venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+uv pip install -e .[dev]
+```
+
+## Docker
+
+```bash
+docker compose up --build
+```
+
+## Project Layout
+
+```
+src/orderbook_app/
+  connectors/         # Binance + OKX parsers
+  services/           # Simulated data generators
+  storage/            # PostgreSQL helpers
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- This code currently focuses on parsing and schema setup for ETH/USDT orderbooks.
+- Use the simulated data generator to validate ingestion logic without API calls.
+- Extend `storage/db.py` for historical storage policies (rollups, TTL, etc.).
