GDAX Public API (Node)

This package interacts with the public REST API endpoints for the GDAX Exchange that require no authentication using Promises.

With this package, you should be able to get access to:

• Cryptocurrency Pair Quotes
• Market Metadata
• 24-Hour Market Summary
• Order Flow & Market History
• Candlestick Data

API requiring authentication has been decoupled, and will be created in an additional package as an add-on.

Installation

exchange-gdax-public-api is available from npm and yarn:

npm install exchange-gdax-public-api

- or -

yarn add exchange-gdax-public-api

Usage

Getting Started

1. require() or import module:

const GDAX = require('exchange-gdax-public-api')

or

import GDAX from 'exchange-gdax-public-api'

• Create a new GDAX Object:

const gdax = new GDAX()

• Use any method needed to get the desired data. All methods return a promise so you can use await/async with try {} catch() {} or .then().catch()

Responses

Responses should return a success and result property. Successful responses from the API should return as true.

{
  "success": true,  // @bool
  "result": <data>  // @array or @object
}
