CryptoCompare JavaScript API

Install

npm install --save cryptocompare

Usage

Note: cryptocompare depends on fetch() being defined globally.

  • If you are using this in electron, it should work without any configuration.

  • If you are using this in Node.js, you will need to use node-fetch.

    Example:

    global.fetch = require('node-fetch')
const cc = require('cryptocompare')

Methods

price()

Get the current price of any cryptocurrency in any other currency.

price(fsym, tsyms[, options])

  • fsym (String) From Symbol
  • tsyms (Array of Strings | String) To Symbol(s)
  • options (Object)
    • tryConversion (Boolean) By default, if the crypto does not trade directly into the toSymbol requested, BTC will be used for conversion. Set tryConversion to false to disable using BTC for conversion.
    • exchanges (Array of Strings | Array) Exchanges to get price data from. By default, average data is used. (You can get a list of top exchanges for a given pair with topExchanges().)
const cc = require('cryptocompare')

// Basic Usage:
cc.price('BTC', ['USD', 'EUR'])
.then(prices => {
  console.log(prices)
  // -> { USD: 1100.24, EUR: 1039.63 }
})
.catch(console.error)

// Passing a single pair of currencies:
cc.price('BTC', 'USD')
.then(prices => {
  console.log(prices)
  // -> { USD: 1100.24 }
})
.catch(console.error)

priceMulti()

Works like price(), except it allows you to specify a matrix of From Symbols.

priceMulti(fsyms, tsyms[, options])

  • fsyms (Array of Strings | String) From Symbol(s)
  • tsyms (Array of Strings | String) To Symbol(s)
  • options (Object)
    • tryConversion (Boolean) By default, if the crypto does not trade directly into the toSymbol requested, BTC will be used for conversion. Set tryConversion to false to disable using BTC for conversion.
    • exchanges (Array of Strings | Array) Exchanges to get price data from. By default, average data is used. (You can get a list of top exchanges for a given pair with topExchanges().)
const cc = require('cryptocompare')

// Basic Usage:
cc.priceMulti(['BTC', 'ETH'], ['USD', 'EUR'])
.then(prices => {
  console.log(prices)
  // -> { BTC: { USD: 1114.63, EUR: 1055.82 },
  //      ETH: { USD: 12.74, EUR: 12.06 } }
})
.catch(console.error)

// Passing a single pair of currencies:
cc.priceMulti('BTC', 'USD')
.then(prices => {
  console.log(prices)
  // -> { BTC: { USD: 1114.63 } }
})
.catch(console.error)

priceFull()

  • tsyms (Array of Strings | String) To Symbol(s)
  • options (Object)
    • tryConversion (Boolean) By default, if the crypto does not trade directly into the toSymbol requested, BTC will be used for conversion. Set tryConversion to false to disable using BTC for conversion.
    • exchanges (Array of Strings | Array) Exchanges to get price data from. By default, average data is used. (You can get a list of top exchanges for a given pair with topExchanges().)
const cc = require('cryptocompare')

cc.priceFull(['BTC', 'ETH'], ['USD', 'EUR'])
.then(prices => {
  console.log(prices)
  // {
  //   BTC: {
  //     USD: {

priceHistorical()

Get the price of any cryptocurrency in any other currency at a given timestamp. The price comes from the daily info - so it would be the price at the end of the day GMT based on the requested timestamp.
