Usage

You can use the code snippet below as a reference, go to Overview for a breakdown of all the features

const FTX = require('ftx-api-rest-extended');

// request the API credentials on your FTX account
const CREDS = {
    'key': '',
    'secret': '',
    'subaccount': ''
}

const FTX_INSTANCE = new FTX(CREDS);

async function test() {
    // get the price of the ETH-PERP future contract
    const { price } = await FTX_INSTANCE.getPrice('eth-perp');
    console.log(`[i] Exchange rate: ${price}`);

    // sample of a limit buy order on the ETH-PERP future contract
    await FTX_INSTANCE.marketOrder('0.005', 'eth-perp', 'buy', 'limit', 3000);
    // close all limit orders
    const closeLimitOrders = await FTX_INSTANCE.closeLimitOrders();
    console.log(closeLimitOrders);
}

test();
