Bitfinex Honey Framework Data Server for Node.JS

The HF data server exposes a websocket interface for querying trade/candle data from Bitfinex, and syncronizes that data in a local DB.

The DB backend is implemented by a plugin, currently the following are available:

Regardless of the backend, a schema must be specified (providing exchange-specific API methods). The official Bitfinex schema is bfx-hf-ext-plugin-bitfinex.

Installation

For standalone usage:

git clone https://github.com/bitfinexcom/bfx-hf-data-server
cd bfx-hf-data-server
npm i

cp .env.example .env

npm run start-lowdb

For usage/extension within an existing project:

npm i --save bfx-hf-data-server

Quickstart

Follow the installation instructions, and run either npm run start-lowdb or npm run start-sql depending on your selected DB backend. Be sure the required DB_FILENAME or PSQL_CONNECTION strings are present in .env (see .env.example).

Docs

See docs/ws_api.md for WebSocket API commands/packets, and docs/server.md for JSDoc-generated server class API docmentation.

Example

const DataServer = require('bfx-hf-data-server')
const HFDB = require('bfx-hf-models')
const HFDBLowDBAdapter = require('bfx-hf-models-adapter-lowdb')
const { schema: HFDBBitfinexSchema } = require('bfx-hf-ext-plugin-bitfinex')

const db = new HFDB({
  schema: HFDBBitfinexSchema,
  adapter: HFDBLowDBAdapter({
    dbPath: './SOME_DB_PATH.json',
    schema: HFDBBitfinexSchema
  })
})

const ds = new DataServer({
