Hello world

Subscribe channel topic + register message handler to log message

main.js

import { OkxV5Ws } from 'okx-v5-ws'

const run = async () => {
    try {
        const okxV5Ws = new OkxV5Ws({
            serverBaseUrl: OkxV5Ws.DEMO_PUBLIC_ENDPOINT,
            options: {
                logLoginMessage: false,
                logSubscriptionMessage: false,
                logChannelTopicMessage: false,
                logTradeMessage: false,
            }
        })

        await okxV5Ws.connect()

        await okxV5Ws.subscribeChannel({
            channel: 'tickers',

        })

        okxV5Ws.addChannelMessageHandler({ channel: 'tickers', instId: 'BTC-USDT' }, (message) => {
            console.log(`message handler: `, JSON.stringify(message))
        })
    } catch (e) {
        console.error(e)

This module basically has some managed method to help you do:

• Login
• Subscribe to channel topic, and receive messages
• Send Trade message, and receive response
• Ping Pong / Auto reconnect

Sample for Private Endpoint Usage

Basically similar to previous hello world. But we pass profileConfig values during creating OkxV5Ws instance.

const run = async () => {
    try {
        const okxV5Ws = new OkxV5Ws({
            serverBaseUrl: OkxV5Ws.DEMO_PRIVATE_ENDPOINT,
            profileConfig: {
                apiKey: 'AAAAA',
                secretKey: 'BBBBB',
                passPhrase: 'CCCCCC',
            },
            options: {
                logLoginMessage: false,
                logSubscriptionMessage: false,
                logChannelTopicMessage: false,
                logTradeMessage: false,
            },
        })

        await okxV5Ws.connect()

        await okxV5Ws.subscribeChannel({
            channel: 'account',
            ccy: 'USDT',
        })

        okxV5Ws.addChannelMessageHandler({ channel: 'account', ccy: 'USDT' }, (message) => {
            console.log(`message handler: `, JSON.stringify(message))
        })
    } catch (e) {
        console.error(e)
    }
}
run()

output:

WebSocket Client Connected
send:  {"op":"login","args":[{"apiKey":"AAAAA","passphrase":"CCCCC","timestamp":"1668525060","sign":"XXXXXXX"}]}
subscribe channel {"channel":"account","ccy":"USDT"}
send:  {"op":"subscribe","args":[{"channel":"account","ccy":"USDT"}]}
add ChannelMessageHandler for {"channel":"account","ccy":"USDT"}

Free Control Style

If you feel the above managed feature are messy/not work, we provide you some way to control send/receive message yourself.

• Passing messageHandler: You can receive all messages from server.
• Call send method: You can directly sending message to server.

const okxV5Ws = new OkxV5Ws({
    serverBaseUrl: OkxV5Ws.DEMO_PUBLIC_ENDPOINT,
    profileConfig: {
            apiKey: 'XXXXXX',
            secretKey: 'YYYYY',
            passPhrase: 'ZZZZZ',
    },
    options: {
        logLoginMessage: false,
        logSubscriptionMessage: false,
        logChannelTopicMessage: false,
        logTradeMessage: false,
    },
})

await okxV5Ws.event.on('message', (message: string) => {
    console.log(`Received message: ${message}`)
})

await okxV5Ws.connect()

await okxV5Ws.send({
    op: 'subscribe',
    args: [
        {
            channel: 'status',
        },
    ],
})

output

WebSocket Client Connected
send:  {"op":"login","args":[{"apiKey":"XXXXXX","passphrase":"ZZZZZZZ","timestamp":"1668518942","sign":"AAAAAAA"}]}
Received message: {"event":"login", "msg" : "", "code": "0"}
send:  {"op":"subscribe","args":[{"channel":"status"}]}
Received message: {"event":"subscribe","arg":{"channel":"status"}}

API

Main class: OkxV5Ws

constructor:

class OkxV5Ws {
    constructor({
        serverBaseUrl,
        profileConfig,
        options,
        messageHandler,
    }: {
        serverBaseUrl: string // server endpoint to connect with
        profileConfig?: {
            apiKey: string // API key
            secretKey: string // secret key
            passPhrase: string // passphrase
        }
        options?: {
            autoLogin?: boolean // whether we help to auto login after connected/reconnected
            logLoginMessage?: boolean // console log for Login Response messages?
            logSubscriptionMessage?: boolean // console log for Subscription Response messages?
            logChannelTopicMessage?: boolean // console log for Channel Topic messages?
            logTradeMessage?: boolean // console log for Trade Response messages?
        }
    }) {
        /* ... */
    }

    /* ... */

}

Methods

Initialize the connection

async connect()

Send the payload message to server

async send(payload: object)

Subscribe to Channel topic

Notice that it would just start subscript to server side's channel. You need to add message handler by addChannelMessageHandler method in order to hook to your custom logic

async subscribeChannel(subscriptionTopic: SubscriptionTopic): Promise<SubscriptionResponse>

Unsubscribe to Channel topic

async unsubscribeChannel(subscriptionTopic: SubscriptionTopic): Promise<UnsubscriptionResponse>

Add Message Handler for Channel Topic

The message handler would be invoked when server push channel topic message to client.

addChannelMessageHandler(subscriptionTopic: SubscriptionTopic, channelMessageHandler: ChannelMessageHandler)

Remove Message Handler for Channel Topic

removeChannelMessageHandler(subscriptionTopic: SubscriptionTopic, channelMessageHandler: ChannelMessageHandler) 

Remove All Message Handler for Channel Topic

removeAllChannelMessageHandler(subscriptionTopic: SubscriptionTopic)

Send trade message

async trade(payload: TradePayload): Promise<TradeResponse> 

Close connection

close()

Event handle

okxV5Ws.event is a event emitter. You can register several event handler to it.

await okxV5Ws.event.on('message', (message: string) => {
    console.log(`Received message: ${message}`)
})

Events

message

Fire when server side push any messages.

Event handler: (message: string) => any

connect

Fire when our client connected/reconnected

Event handler: () => any

reconnecting

Fire when our client start to try reconnecting

Event handler: () => any

close

Fire when connection close

Event handler: (code: number, desc: string) => any

closed

Fire when connection close and we are not going to reconnect. This event may trigger when user call the close method. Or server side close connection with code=1000.

Event handler: (code: number, desc: string) => any

error

Fire when connection error happened.

Event handler: () => any

Limitation of this module

Login, Subscribe, Unsubscribe operation are single process piped

Due to the fact that we are not able to linking some operation request and the corresponding response together, but we want to provide an user experience that close to request and response pattern. Turn out, our design is to treat these operations as one-by-one request & response pattern.

Request/Response stack is not yet stable

Our design is try to use request stack to hold the requests. And when we matched response message received from server, we unstack and then response to user. So if there are bugs occurring that causing us missed the matching of response pattern, then the request in the stack would hang up.

In order to prevent this issue, you can fully use the "Free Control Style" to send/handle message by yourself. Such usage would be more stable.

Only support Simple Single Login

We provide options for you to specify the API key, secret, passphrase. And we can help to do auto login after connected to server. But this is just a simple single account login. The OKX V5 websocket actually support multiple login, but we do not have this feature now.
