btce-api

Node.js client for the btc-e API

Installation

You can use npm to install it:

npm install btce-api

Methods

Private API methods

btceApi.setKeys(oKeys)
btceApi.getInfo(callback)
btceApi.trade(oConfig, callback)
btceApi.tradeHistory(oConfig, callback)
btceApi.orderList(oConfig, callback)
btceApi.cancelOrder(oConfig, callback)

Public API methods

btceApi.getLastTrades(sPair, callback)
btceApi.getDepth(sPair, callback)
btceApi.getTicker(sPair, callback)

Examples

You can call the public API metohds of btce without using your key pair:

var btceApi = require('btce-api');
btceApi.getLastTrades('ltc_usd', function(aLastTrades){
	console.dir(aLastTrades.slice(0, 5));
});

If you want to use the private methods, you have to provide with the key pair first:

var btceApi = require('btce-api');
var oPair = {
	key: '',
	secret: ''
};
btceApi.setKeys(oPair);
btceApi.getInfo(function(oInfo){
	console.dir(oInfo);
});
btceApi.getTicker('ltc_usd', function(oTicker){
	console.dir(oTicker);
});

Notes

The requests have to have a parameter called nonce that is a number that cannot decrease over time. The module generates it using the current timestamp. The requests are delayed each other few tenths of a second in order to avoid that some requests arrive before the previous one. If a request returns an error it retries to send it. If you try to send a lot of requests at once, they will be stored in a queue and it may take a while to complete all the requests.
