Node Kraken API (Fork)

This is a maintained fork of the original npm-kraken-api by nothingisdead.

The original project has been deprecated, and this fork aims to provide updates and fixes, including replacing the got library with axios for improved reliability and maintainability.

About This Fork

This repository is a fork of the original npm-kraken-api, which is a Node.js client library for the Kraken (kraken.com) API. The original project is no longer maintained, and this fork addresses the following:

• Replaced got with axios: The original library used the got library, which has been replaced with axios for modern and reliable HTTP requests.
• Dependency updates: Updated dependencies to resolve security vulnerabilities and ensure compatibility with newer versions of Node.js.

Installation

To install this package, run:

npm install krakened-api

Example Usage

const key          = '...'; // API Key
const secret       = '...'; // API Private Key
const KrakenClient = require('krakened-api');
const kraken       = new KrakenClient(key, secret);

(async () => {
	// Display user's balance
	console.log(await kraken.api('Balance'));

	// Get Ticker Info
	console.log(await kraken.api('Ticker', { pair : 'XXBTZUSD' }));
})();

Why This Fork Exists

The original project has been deprecated, as noted in #66. While the original maintainer suggested using the Kraken REST API directly with fetch, this fork provides a maintained alternative for those who prefer a dedicated client library.
