kraken-exchange-api

Quick Start

Status

This project is still in very early development and some major functionality is probably missing. All documented endpoints and objects should be usable though.

If you like to contribute feel free to contact author of this repo or push Pull Request with changes.

Installation

Please install this package using npm kraken-exchange-node-api

npm install kraken-exchange-node-api

Requirements

This library was written in ES2015 code. We highly recommenda any version of Node.js greater than 7.

API Clients

API Clients provide simple way to use Kraken API directly without need to use Classes that we provided.

Public API Client

Kraken Exchange provide set of endpoints that don't require authentication to get basic information about Market. See Public market data section at Kraken Docs

Authenticated API Client

To access Private API from Kraken you need to request ApiKey and ApiSecret from your Account Settings in Kraken Dashboard.

Built-In Kraken API Support

Every Class we created provide both Promise and callback interface.

Kraken.Time

getUnixTime()

Kraken.Time.getUnixTime(/** optional **/ callback) 

• Arguments:
  • callback (optional)

  .getUnixTime((unixTimeStamp) => {
    console.log(unixTimeStamp)
  })
