Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when you need reference code to explore exchange API or WebSocket integration patterns in a Node.js or TypeScript project.
Who it is for
- Developers learning or prototyping crypto exchange integrations in Node.js or TypeScript.
- Algo-trading practitioners looking for illustrative code for exchange requests and streaming data.
Documented uses
- Inspect example patterns for exchange REST API calls.
- Explore how sample code works with crypto exchange WebSocket streams.
- Use trading snippets as starting points for educational demonstrations.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and lists a CC0-1.0 license. Some private API examples require credentials for signed calls.
- The examples use Node.js and/or TypeScript; Node.js and npm dependencies are listed in the setup instructions.
- Samples are explicitly demonstrations, not recommendations of best practices.
- Some private API examples require account API credentials, while other samples may not.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Prepare the repository and run an example
Install the documented prerequisites and start a JavaScript or TypeScript sample.
Before you start
- Node.js at the recommended version in the repository's .nvmrc or above.
- Dependencies installed with npm.
Steps
Install Node.js, using the repository's .nvmrc as the recommended version reference.
From the local repository, install dependencies with npm install.
For a JavaScript file ending in .js, use its README instructions if present; otherwise run node src/path/to/example.js.
For a TypeScript file ending in .ts, use its README instructions if present; otherwise run npx ts-node src/path/to/example.ts.
Expected outcome
The selected example is launched using the documented Node.js or TypeScript command.
Guide limitations
- Examples are demonstrations and are not presented as best practices.
- Per-example README instructions may provide specific directions.
Supply credentials to a private Binance example
Provide API credentials for an example that makes signed private API calls.
Before you start
- A local copy of the repository and API key and secret for the relevant account.
- Node.js, installed dependencies, and the TypeScript runner used in the documented command.
Steps
Check the selected example's README and identify whether it makes private API calls.
Provide the API key and secret as APIKEY and APISECRET environment variables when launching the documented Binance account-events TypeScript sample.
Expected outcome
The sample receives credentials through the environment for signed API calls.
Guide limitations
- Only examples that make private API calls need credentials.
- The README also describes editing values in a local copy; credentials and account access are the user's responsibility.
