An OpenSource TypeScript library to create rich trading cryptocurrencies interfaces

Introduction

It is an Open-source TypeScript library that provides an easy-to-use interface for communicating with exchanges. It is designed to be used by trading platforms like tuleep.trade, allowing them to interact with exchanges like Bybit and Binance Futures to execute trades on behalf of their users.

The library includes a set of API methods that abstract away the complexities of the exchanges' REST and WebSocket APIs, providing a simple and consistent interface for managing orders, positions, balances, and more.

It also implements robust error handling, rate limiting, and other safeguards to prevent common trading pitfalls and ensure the safety of user funds.

One key feature of safe-cex is its support for multiple exchanges, which allows tuleep.trade to offer a wider range of trading options to its users.

Currently, the library supports Bybit and Binance Futures contracts, OKX Perpetual Swaps and WOO X Futures.

Differences with CCXT

  • safe-cex handles for you the lifecycle of fetching, and updating data from exchanges
  • safe-cex exposes simple methods to place any type of orders
  • safe-cex handles for you orders size limits and precisions of orders
  • safe-cex expose the same interface for every exchanges
  • safe-cex is oriented for in-browser usage

Exchanges supported

  • Bybit Futures USDT contracts (not the unified margin)
  • Binance USD-M futures (USDT contracts)
  • Bitget USDT-M Futures (USDT contracts)
  • WOO X Futures USDT & futures unified margin
  • OKX Perpetuals unified margin
  • GateIO Futures USDT contracts

Installation

  • npm install --save safe-cex

Examples

You can use this template as starter for integrating the best way safe-cex into ReactJS:

Getting started

To initialize the exchange library, you will need:

  • API key / secret
  • A CORS-Anywhere server if you are using Binance testnet (they do not support CORS)
import { createExchange } from "safe-cex";

// Initialize exchange class object
const exchange = createExchange(
  "bybit" | "binance" | "okx" | "woo" | "gate" | "bitget",
  {
    key: API_KEY,
    secret: API_SECRET,
    applicationId: string, // FOR WOO X
    passphrase: string, // FOR OKX & BITGET
    testnet: boolean,
    corsAnywhere: "https://cors-anywhere.example.com",
    extra?:{
      // polling rate of balance and positions, defaults to API request rate limit
      // usefull if you are running a TWAP bot and you don't care about having positions & balance up to the ms updates
      // ex: 5000 (poll every 5s)
      tickInterval?: number;
    }
  }
);

// Start the exchange syncronization
// - will fetch markets, tickers, orders, positions, balance...
await exchange.start();

Exchange store

safe-cex maintains a inner-store with all the up-to-date exchanges informations:

type Store = {
  latency: number;
  balance: Balance;
  markets: Market[];
  tickers: Ticker[];
  orders: Order[];
  positions: Position[];
  loaded: {
    balance: boolean;
    orders: boolean;
    markets: boolean;
    tickers: boolean;
    positions: boolean;
  };
};

Events

safe-cex creates an exchange is an event-emitter object, you can subscribe to events and react accordingly.

update

This event is called everytime the inner-store of safe-cex is updated.

let storeCopy = {};

exchange.on("update", (store: Store) => {
  console.log("exchange store update");
  storeCopy = store;
});

fill

This event is called when an order is filled, this allows you to display a notification when this happens.

type FillEvent = {
  amount: number;
  price: number;
  side: "buy" | "sell";
  symbol: string;
};

exchange.on("fill", (event: FillEvent) => {
  console.log(
    `${event.side} ${event.amount} ${event.symbol} at ${event.price}`
  );
});

error

This event is called when an error has occured or the exchange API responded with an error status.

exchange.on("error", (error: string) => {
  window.alert(error);
});

log

This event is called when a new log message is emitted, you can display those debuging purposes.

enum LogSeverity {
  Warning = "warning",
  Error = "error",
  Info = "info",
}

exchange.on("log", (message: string, severity: LogSeverity) => {
  console.log(`[${severity}] ${message}`);
});

Public methods

validateAccount()

  • Can be called before exchange.start() to ensure API keys are valid and have the right permissions
  • Returns an empty string if valid, otherwise returns a string with error

start()

  • Method to be called before trying to place orders
  • It starts the lifecycle of safe-cex and fetch all the needed data
  • You can use store.loaded object to know when it's ready

fetchOHLCV()

type Timeframe =
  | "1m"
  | "3m"
  | "5m"
  | "15m"
  | "30m"
  | "1h"
  | "2h"
  | "4h"
  | "6h"
  | "12h"
  | "1d"
  | "1w";

type OHLCVOptions = {
  symbol: string;
  interval: Timeframe;
};

type Candle = {
  timestamp: number;
  open: number;
  high: number;
  low: number;
  close: number;
  volume: number;
};

const candles: Candle[] = await exchange.fetchOHLCV({
  // market symbol, can be found in exchange.store.markets[index].symbol
  symbol: "BTCUSDT",
  timeframe: "15m",
});

listenOHLCV()

  • Subscribe to exchange kline websocket
  • Takes a callback() function to be called when candle has been updated
  • Returns a dispose() function to un-subscribe websocket topic
const callback = (candle: Candle) => {
  console.log(`Candle updated, current price: ${candle.close}`);
};

const dispose = exchange.listenOHLCV(
  { symbol: "BTCUSDT", timeframe: "15m" },
  callback
);

// when finished listening
dispose();

listenOrderBook()

  • Subscribe to exchange symbol orderbook
  • Takes a callback() function to be called when order book has been updated
  • Returns a dispose() function to un-subscribe weboscket topic
type OrderBookOrders = {
  price: number;
  amount: number;
  total: number;
};

type OrderBook = {
  bids: OrderBookOrders[];
  asks: OrderBookOrders[];
};

const callback = (orderBook: OrderBook) => {
  console.log(JSON.stringify(orderBook, null, 4));
};

const dispose = exchange.listenOrderBook("BTCUSDT", callback);

// when finished
dispose();

placeOrder()

  side: OrderSide;
  amount: number;
  price?: number;
  stopLoss?: number;
  takeProfit?: number;
  reduceOnly?: boolean;
  timeInForce?: OrderTimeInForce;
};

// Place a market order of 0.25 BTC
await exchange.placeOrder({
  symbol: "BTCUSDT",
  type: OrderType.Market,
  side: OrderSide.Buy,
  amount: 0.25,
});

// Place a limit order of 1 ETH at 1700$
// and set stopLoss at 1650

//  we take the first existing order as example
const originalOrder = exchange.store.orders[0];

// update price of order
const updatedOrderIds: string[] = await exchange.updateOrder({
  order: originalOrder,
  update: { price: 1700 },
});

// update amount of order

await exchange.cancelSymbolOrders("BTCUSDT");

cancelAllOrders()

  • Method for cancelling all existing orders
await exchange.cancelAllOrders();

setLeverage()

  • Cancel all existing orders
await exchange.nuke();

dispose()

  • Method to be called when you don't need the exchange instance anymore
  • It has to be called for cleaning all subscribtions, data streams with exchange, etc...
await exchange.dispose();
