To better understand cryptocurrencies exchange APIs. This project will connect to Bitfinex and Kraken APIs, get the order books for the pair ETH/BTC and list the orders needed to buy 10 BTC at the cheapest price.
If this is your first time, you'll need to accomplish three steps:
- Clone this repository
- Configure your exchanges credentials
- Run the app
It's just a standard GitHub repo, so you just need to
git clone git@github.com:jfresco/exchange-client.git
You'll need to set up your exchanges credentials. This project won't work if you forget to provide some of them.
Once you get your API key and secret from both Bitfinex and Kraken, just cp config.json.example config.json,
edit your new config.json file, and put the credentials there.
The file is ignored by .git in order to prevent accidentally pushing your credentials to a public repo.
Please keep them secret.
Don't forget to install the dependencies:
npm i
Then run the app:
npm start
If you want to see more debugging logs, run the app like this:
DEBUG=exchange:* npm start
Also, you can run the linter:
npm t
(eventually this will run some unit tests).
