abucoinsnode v0.1.2

Abucoins

The official Node.js library for Abucoins API.

Features

• Market watching
• Trading

Installation

npm install abucoinsnode

You can learn about the API responses of each endpoint by reading our documentation.

Quick Start

The Abbucoins API has both public and private endpoints. If you're only interested in the public endpoints, you should use a PublicClient.

const Abucoins = require('abucoinsnode');
const publicClient = new Abucoins.PublicClient();

All methods, unless otherwise specified, can be used with either a promise or callback API.

Using Promises

publicClient
  .getProducts()
  .then(data => {
    // work with data
  })
  .catch(error => {
    // handle the error
  });

The promise API can be used as expected in async functions in ES2017+ environments:

async function yourFunction() {
  try {
    const products = await publicClient.getProducts();
  } catch (error) {
    /* ... */
  }
}

Using Callbacks

Your callback should accept two arguments:

• error: contains an error message (string), or null if no was error encountered
• response: a generic HTTP response abstraction created by the request library
• data: contains data returned by the Abucoins API, or undefined if an error was encountered

publicClient.getProducts((error, response, data) => {
  if (error) {
    // handle the error
  } else {
    // work with data
  }
});

NOTE: if you supply a callback, no promise will be returned. This is to prevent potential UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarnings, which will cause future versions of Node to terminate.

const myCallback = (err, response, data) => {
  /* ... */
};

const result = publicClient.getProducts(myCallback);

result.then(() => {
  /* ... */
}); // TypeError: Cannot read property 'then' of undefined

Optional Parameters

Some methods accept optional parameters, e.g.

publicClient.getProductOrderBook('BTC-USD', { level: 3 }).then(book => {
  /* ... */
});

To use optional parameters with callbacks, supply the options as the first parameter(s) and the callback as the last parameter:

publicClient.getProductOrderBook(
  'ETH-USD',
  { level: 3 },
  (error, response, book) => {
    /* ... */
  }
);

The Public API Client

const publicClient = new Abucoins.PublicClient(endpoint);

• productID optional - defaults to 'BTC-USD' if not specified.
• endpoint optional - defaults to 'https://api.abucoins.com' if not specified.

Public API Methods

• getProducts

publicClient.getProducts(callback);

• getProductOrderBook

// Get the order book at the default level of detail.
publicClient.getProductOrderBook('BTC-USD', callback);

// Get the order book at a specific level of detail.
publicClient.getProductOrderBook('LTC-USD', { level: 3 }, callback);

• getProductTicker

publicClient.getProductTicker('ETH-USD', callback);

• getProductTrades

publicClient.getProductTrades('BTC-USD', callback);

// To make paginated requests, include page parameters
publicClient.getProductTrades('BTC-USD', { after: 1000 }, callback);

• getProductTradeStream

Wraps around getProductTrades, fetches all trades with IDs >= tradesFrom and <= tradesTo. Handles pagination and rate limits.

const trades = publicClient.getProductTradeStream('BTC-USD', 8408000, 8409000);

// tradesTo can also be a function
const trades = publicClient.getProductTradeStream(
  'BTC-USD',
  8408000,
  trade => Date.parse(trade.time) >= 1463068e6
);

• getProductHistoricRates

publicClient.getProductHistoricRates('BTC-USD', callback);

// To include extra parameters:
publicClient.getProductHistoricRates(
  'BTC-USD',
  { granularity: 3600 },
  callback
);

• getProduct24HrStats

publicClient.getProduct24HrStats('BTC-USD', callback);

• getCurrencies

publicClient.getCurrencies(callback);

• getTime

publicClient.getTime(callback);

The Authenticated API Client

The private exchange API endpoints require you to authenticate with a Abucoins API key. You can create a new API key in your exchange account's settings. You can also specify the API URI (defaults to https://api.abucoins.com).

const key = 'your_api_key';
const secret = 'your_secret';
const passphrase = 'your_passphrase';

const apiURI = 'https://api.abucoins.com';

const authedClient = new Abucoins.AuthenticatedClient(
  key,
  secret,
  passphrase,
  apiURI
);

Like PublicClient, all API methods can be used with either callbacks or will return promises.

AuthenticatedClient inherits all of the API methods from PublicClient, so if you're hitting both public and private API endpoints you only need to create a single client.

Private API Methods

• getPaymentMethods

authedClient.getPaymentMethods(callback);

• getAccounts

authedClient.getAccounts(callback);

• getAccount

const accountID = '7d0f7d8e-dd34-4d9c-a846-06f431c381ba';
authedClient.getAccount(accountID, callback);

• buy, sell

// Buy 1 BTC @ 100 USD
const buyParams = {
  price: '100.00', // USD
  size: '1', // BTC
  product_id: 'BTC-USD',
};
authedClient.buy(buyParams, callback);

// Sell 1 BTC @ 110 USD
const sellParams = {
  price: '110.00', // USD
  size: '1', // BTC
  product_id: 'BTC-USD',
};
authedClient.sell(sellParams, callback);

• placeOrder

// Buy 1 LTC @ 75 USD
const params = {
  side: 'buy',
  price: '75.00', // USD
  size: '1', // LTC
  product_id: 'LTC-USD',
};
authedClient.placeOrder(params, callback);

• cancelOrder

const orderID = 'd50ec984-77a8-460a-b958-66f114b0de9b';
authedClient.cancelOrder(orderID, callback);

• cancelOrders

authedClient.cancelOrders(callback);

• cancelAllOrders

// `cancelOrders` may require you to make the request multiple times until
// all of the orders are deleted.

// `cancelAllOrders` will handle making these requests for you asynchronously.
// Also, you can add a `product_id` param to only delete orders of that product.

// The data will be an array of the order IDs of all orders which were cancelled
authedClient.cancelAllOrders({ product_id: 'BTC-USD' }, callback);

• getOrders

authedClient.getOrders(callback);
// For pagination, you can include extra page arguments
// Get all orders of 'open' status
authedClient.getOrders({ after: 3000, status: 'open' }, callback);

• getOrder

const orderID = 'd50ec984-77a8-460a-b958-66f114b0de9b';
authedClient.getOrder(orderID, callback);

• getFills

authedClient.getFills(callback);
// For pagination, you can include extra page arguments
authedClient.getFills({ before: 3000 }, callback);

Websocket Client

The WebsocketClient allows you to connect and listen to the exchange websocket messages.

const websocket = new Abucoins.WebsocketClient(['BTC-USD', 'ETH-USD']);

websocket.on('message', data => {
  /* work with data */
});
websocket.on('error', err => {
  /* handle error */
});
websocket.on('close', () => {
  /* ... */
});

The client will automatically subscribe to the heartbeat channel. By default, the full channel will be subscribed to unless other channels are requested.

const websocket = new Abucoins.WebsocketClient(
  ['BTC-USD', 'ETH-USD'],
  'wss://ws.abucoins.com',
  {
    key: 'suchkey',
    secret: 'suchsecret',
    passphrase: 'muchpassphrase',
  },
  { channels: ['full', 'level2'] }
);

Optionally, change subscriptions at runtime:

websocket.unsubscribe({ channels: ['full'] });

websocket.subscribe({ product_ids: ['LTC-USD'], channels: ['ticker', 'user'] });

websocket.subscribe({
  channels: [{
    name: 'user',
    product_ids: ['ETH-USD']
  }]
});

websocket.unsubscribe({
  channels: [{
    name: 'user',
    product_ids: ['LTC-USD']
  }, {
    name: 'user',
    product_ids: ['ETH-USD']
  }]
});

The following events can be emitted from the WebsocketClient:

• open
• message
• close
• error
