xchange.js

Aggregates different Bitcoin exchanges api's into a convenient JS wrapper.

Documentation

Full Documentation Found Here

Motivation

To easily use all of the api's of every exchange in 1 simple to understand JavaScript module. Bitcoin exchanges api's are frequently updated, often missing documentation, and occasionally confusing. After writing lots of code to consume different api's, I realized the knowledge could/should be centralized into 1 module which addresses all of these pain-points. Thus, xchange.js was born.

Features

• Works both on the Client or Server
• Can use either Callbacks or Promises (es6)
• Currently supports 6 different exchanges (with more to come)
  • Bitfinex
  • Bitstamp
  • Coinbase
  • BTC-e
  • Kraken
  • OkCoin

Installation

npm install xchange.js

Code example

//Example print the spot price of BTC/USD from bitfinex  

var xchange = require('xchange.js');

  
xchange.bitfinex.ticker({symbol: 'BTCUSD'}, (err, response) => {
  if (!err) {
    console.log(response);
  }
});

About the Project

The end goal really is to wrap every api for all exchanges into this project. The current roadmap includes upgrading this to use authenticated api's, so users can perform actual transactions (buy, sell, etc..), and later to include more exchanges. The concept very much follows the motivation of the popular Java XChange library.
