Examples

import BTCMarkets from "@azerothian/btc-markets-api";
(async() => {
  try {
    const client = new BTCMarkets({key: "", secret: ""});

    const numberConverter = 100000000;    // one hundred million

    // get latest prices
    const tickData = await client.getTick("BTC", "AUD");
    console.log(`bid ${tickData.bestBid} ask ${tickData.bestAsk} last price ${tickData.lastPrice}`);

    // get order book
    const orderBook = await client.getOrderBook("BTC", "AUD");
    console.log(`${orderBook.asks.length} asks with best ask having price ${orderBook.asks[0][0]} and amount ${orderBook.asks[0][1]}`);

    // limit buy order for of 0.01 BTC at 230 AUD
    const createLimitedBuyOrder = await client.createOrder("BTC", "AUD", 230 * numberConverter, 0.01 * numberConverter, 'Bid', 'Limit', "10001");
    console.log(createLimitedBuyOrder);

    // market sell for 0.0001 BTC
    const sellOrder = await client.createOrder("BTC", "AUD", null, 0.0001 * numberConverter, 'Ask', 'Market', null);
    console.log(sellOrder);

    // cancel two limit orders with id's 123456 and 987654
    const cancelOrders = await client.cancelOrder([123456,987654]);
    console.log(`first order was cancelled ${cancelOrders.responses[0].success}`);

    const accountBalances = await client.getAccountBalances();
    accountBalances.forEach((account) => {
      console.log(`${account.currency} balance ${account.balance / numberConverter} pending ${account.pendingFunds / numberConverter}`);
    });

    const tradingFee = client.getTradingFee("BTC", "AUD");
    console.log(tradingFee);
  } catch (err) {
      console.log(err);
  }
})();
