API

To make a call, you need to initiate the Bitskins.API class by passing it your Bitskins API key which can be retrieved here and by passing your Bitskins secret which is given to you when enabling 2FA on your Bitskins account.

For more information, visit the Bitskins API docs.

All calls return a promise with the data from the response. If there is an error making the request or the status of the request from Bitskins is not "success" the promise will be rejected.

api.getAccountBalance()
    .then((data) => {
        // ...
    })
    .catch((error) => {
        // this will the response from the Bitskins API call if the actual
        // request was successful, or it will be the error from the `request`
        // module if the actual request failed.
    });

For a full example, look at the examples folder.

There are two ways to pass parameters to this method:

1. Pass an array of item ids and prices seperately where each index of one array corresponds to the index of the other:

Web Sockets

To use the Bitskins web sockets, you need to initiate the Bitskins Web Socket class, no api key or Bitskins secret is necessary.

For more information, visit the Bitskins Web Socket docs.

socket.on('connected', () => {
    // will now be able to listen for all other events
})

socket.on('disconnected', () => {
    // no longer able to listen to all other events
})

The way to listen to an event is set an event listener for channel:event, currently there is only one channel to listen to events on.

socket.on('inventory_changes:listed', (item) => {
    console.log(item)
})

| channel | event | description | | ------- | ----- | ----------- | | inventory_changes | listed | This event is fired whenever a new (purchasable) item is listed at BitSkins. | | inventory_changes | delisted_or_sold | This event is fired whenever an item is no longer available for sale at BitSkins. | | inventory_changes | price_changed | This event is fired whenever an item's price is changed by the seller. | | inventory_changes | extra_info | This event is fired whenever we retrieve an item's extra information from Steam (such as floats, stickers, etc.). |
