Installation

install it most convenient via npm:

$ npm install node.bittrex.api

or

fetch the project via git:

$ git clone https://github.com/n0mad01/node.bittrex.api.git

then meet the package dependencies:

$ cd node-bittrex-api/
$ npm install

First steps

include node.bittrex.api.js into your project:

var bittrex = require('./node.bittrex.api.js');

configure

bittrex.options({
    'apikey' : API_KEY,
    'apisecret' : API_SECRET, 
    'stream' : true,
    'verbose' : true,
    'cleartext' : false 
});

By default the returned data is an object, in order to get clear text you have to add the option cleartext (streams will always return text):

'cleartext' : true

The baseUrl itself can also be set via options

'baseUrl' : 'https://bittrex.com/api/v1'

Streams

To activate Streaming simply add to your options:

'stream' : true

Streaming depends on the following npm packages:

• JSONStream https://www.npmjs.org/package/JSONStream
• event-stream https://www.npmjs.org/package/event-stream

Examples

After configuration you can use the object right away: example #1

bittrex.getmarketsummaries( function( data ) {
    for( var i in data.result ) {
        bittrex.getticker( { market : data.result[i].MarketName }, function( ticker ) {
            console.log( ticker );
        });
    }
});

example #2

bittrex.getbalance({ currency : 'BTC' }, function( data ) {
    console.log( data );
});

Other

Other libraries utilized:

• request https://www.npmjs.org/package/request

For HmacSHA512 this package is using a part of Googles Crypto.js (the node crypt package could not provide any appropriate result).

• http://crypto-js.googlecode.com/svn/tags/3.1.2/build/rollups/hmac-sha512.js

Methods

Optional parameters may have to be looked up at https://bittrex.com/Home/Api.

It may happen that some Bittrex API methods are missing, also they could have been forgotten in the documentation. In this case, if this strikes you, feel free to open a issue or send me a pull request.

Also: the method sendCustomRequest enables completely custom requests, regardless the specific API methods.

sendCustomRequest

• url String
• callback Function
• credentials Boolean optional whether the credentials should be applied to the request/stream or not, default is set to false.

example #1

var url = 'https://bittrex.com/api/v1.1/public/getticker?market=BTC-LTC';
bittrex.sendCustomRequest( url, function( data ) {
    console.log( data );
});

example #2 (credentials applied to request/stream)

bittrex.sendCustomRequest( 'https://bittrex.com/api/v1.1/account/getbalances?currency=BTC', function( data ) {
    console.log( data );
}, true );

will result in (the Header is being set too):
https://bittrex.com/api/v1.1/account/getbalances?currency=BTC&apikey=API_KEY&nonce=4456490600
