Package Exports

bitstamp-ws

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (bitstamp-ws) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

bitstamp-ws

Nodejs Wrapper for the Bitstamp WebSocket API.

Howto

Install:

npm install bitstamp-ws

Use:

var Bitstamp = require('bitstamp-ws');

var ws = new Bitstamp();
ws.on('trade', function(trade) {
  console.log('new trade:', trade);
});
ws.on('order_book', function(data) {
  console.log('new order book:', data);
});
ws.on('diff_order_book', function(data) {
  console.log('new order book diff:', data);
});

This is example is in example.js.

Channels

By default, trade, order_book, and diff_order_book are all enabled. To specify subscriptions, pass an options object when during setup.

For example, to subscribe to live_trades only:

var ws = new Bitstamp({ live_trades: true });
ws.on('trade', function(trade) {
  console.log('new trade:', trade);
});

To subscribe to order_book and diff_order_book only:

var ws = new Bitstamp({ order_book: true, diff_order_book: true });
ws.on('order_book', function(data) {
  console.log('new order book:', data);
});
ws.on('diff_order_book', function(data) {
  console.log('new order book diff:', data);
});

Note that order_book updates only contain the top 20 bids and top 20 asks.
