poloniex.js

Node.js API client for the Poloniex cryptocurrency exchange.

The client supports both public (unauthenticated) and private (authenticated) calls to the Poloniex API.

For private calls, the user secret is never exposed to other parts of the program or over the Web. The user key is sent as a header to the API, along with a signed request.

Install via NPM

npm install poloniex.js

Or clone from GitHub

git clone https://github.com/poloniex/poloniex.js.git
cd poloniex
npm install

Or download the latest zip

zip download

Import the module

import Poloniex from 'poloniex.js';

Or require it:

const Poloniex = require('poloniex.js');

Or, if not installed via NPM, then provide the path to lib/poloniex.js

Create an instance of the client

If only public API calls are needed, then no API key or secret is required:

const poloniex = new Poloniex();

Or, to use Poloniex's trading API, your API key and secret must be provided:

const poloniex = new Poloniex('API_KEY', 'API_SECRET');

Make API calls

All Poloniex API methods are supported, with some name changes to avoid naming collisions.

Methods return a Promise object that will resolve when the API response is received, or reject when an error is encountered:

poloniex.method(arg1, arg2)
.then(function (data) { console.log(data) })
.catch(function (err) { console.error(err) });

For backwards-compatibility, methods also accept a callback function as their last argument, which can be used instead of the returned promise. The callback is passed two arguments, 1) An error object if there was an error, or otherwise null, and 2) A data object, which is the response from the API:

poloniex.method(arg1, arg2, function (err, data) { ... });

For the most up-to-date Poloniex API documentation, see poloniex.com/api.
