Advanced tools
poloniex-api-node is a simple node.js wrapper for Poloniex REST and WebSocket API.
See detailed GitHub Releases
Legacy Poloniex API is no longer supported. Poloniex has announced that the legacy API is slated to be decommissioned on Jan 31st, 2023. Module supporting the legacy API has been moved to branch legacy_API, and it is not longer maintained.
npm install --save poloniex-api-node
new Poloniex({ apiKey, apiSecret })To access the private Poloniex API methods you must supply your API key id and key secret. If you are only accessing the public API endpoints, you can leave the parameter out.
Examples:
const poloniex = new Poloniex({ apiKey: 'myKey', apiSecret: 'mySecret' })
apiCallRateLimits - API call rate limits for endpoints sets (resource-intensive and non-resource-intensive private and public endpoints)
Example output:
{
riPub: 10,
nriPub: 200,
nriPriv: 50,
riPriv: 10
}
apiCallRates - Current call rate for resource-intensive and non-resource-intensive private and public API calls
Example output:
{
riPub: 8,
nriPub: 100,
nriPriv: 5,
riPriv: 7
}
See https://docs.poloniex.com/#rate-limits.
All methods accept one object parameter, which is used to pass all request parameters for the API call.
Official Poloniex API documentation lists all valid Request Parameters for API calls. When a Request Parameter needs to be included, a property with the exact same name needs to be added to the object parameter.
All methods return a promise.
Example:
import Poloniex from 'poloniex-api-node'
let poloniex = new Poloniex({ apiKey: 'myKey', apiSecret: 'mySecret' })
const tradesHistory = poloniex.getTradesHistory({ limit: 1000, symbols: 'BTC_USDT' })
.then((result) => console.log(result))
.catch((err) => console.log(err))
An optional property getApiCallRateInfo can be specified. When set to true the corresponding API call is not sent to the exchange, instead the current API call rate is returned. See rate limits.
Example:
const callRateInfo = poloniex.getTradesHistory({ limit: 1000, symbols: 'BTC_USDT', getApiCallRateInfo: true })
Example output:
[
'riPriv', // id of the API endpoind set (can be 'riPub', 'nriPub', 'riPriv' or 'nriPriv')
2, // current API call rate
10 // API call rate limit
]

ForeverWebSocket extends WebSocket, and in additions supports:
newPublicWebSocket(options) - establishes a WebSocket connection for public channelsnewAuthenticatedWebSocket(options) - establishes a WebSocket connection for authenticated channelsoptions parameter properties (check ForeverWebSocket for additional explanations):
| Property name | Type | Attributes | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
reconnect | object or null | optional | { factor: 1.5, initialDelay: 50, maxDelay: 10000, randomizeDelay: false } | Reconnecting parameters. Defaults to exponential backoff strategy |
timeout | number | optional | no timeout | Timeout in milliseconds after which the websockets reconnects when no messages are received |
newPublicWebSocket() and newAuthenticatedWebSocket() return a ForeverWebSocket instance.
Ping function is activated by default, ping requests are issued every 30 seconds to keep the connection alive.
{
"event": "ping"
}
See https://docs.poloniex.com/#public-channels
Example:
import Poloniex from 'poloniex-api-node'
const poloniex = new Poloniex()
// Create a new WebSocket connected to public endpoint. The WebSocket should not reconnect if disconnected.
const ws = poloniex.newPublicWebSocket({ reconnect: null })
// Specify event handlers
ws.on('open', () => console.log('Websocket connection open'))
ws.on('message', (data) => console.log('Websocket data received'))
ws.on('error', () => console.log('Websocket error'))
ws.on('close', () => console.log('Websocket connection closed'))
See https://docs.poloniex.com/#authenticated-channels
When newAuthenticatedWebSocket() is used to open a WebSocket connection to access private channels, the authentication auth message is automatically sent to Poloniex immediately after the WebSocket connection is open.
Subscriptions for authentication channels can be sent after poloniex server responds with successful authentication confirmation:
{
"data": {
"success": true,
"ts": 1645597033915
},
"channel": "auth"
}
Example:
import Poloniex from 'poloniex-api-node'
const poloniex = new Poloniex({ apiKey: 'myKey', apiSecret: 'mySecret' })
// Create a new WebSocket connected to private endpoint.
const ws = poloniex.newAuthenticatedWebSocket()
// Specify event handlers
ws.on('open', () => console.log('Websocket connection open'))
ws.on('message', (data) => {
// if 'auth` message is received and authentication is sucessfull, send subscribe message
if (data.channel === 'auth' && data.data.success) {
ws.send({
event: 'subscribe',
channel: ['orders'],
symbols: ['all']
})
}
})
