This repo contains minor utilities shared by the Bitfinex Node.JS API libraries.

Features

• prepareAmount and preparePrice for making values API-compatible
• nonce generator function
• padCandles for handling gaps in candle data returned by the Bitfinex APIs

Installation

npm i --save bfx-api-node-util

Quickstart

const { nonce } = require('bfx-api-node-util')
const n = nonce()

// n is ready to be passed to API requests, or used as order CIDs, etc

Docs

Refer to docs/func_docs.md for JSDoc-generated API documentation

Example: Padding Candles

const { padCandles } = require('bfx-api-node-util')
const { RESTv2 } = require('bfx-api-node-rest')
const rest = new RESTv2()

const candles = await rest.candles({
  symbol: 'tBTCUSD',
  timeframe: '1m',
})

const paddedCandles = padCandles(candles, 60 * 1000)

// paddedCandles are ready to be used for processing where 0-volume candles are required
