# Using Nodejs Library

Connect with CAYC Exchange using Hollaex kit Nodejs Library

### Requirements

* Knowledge of basic usage of nodejs and npm
* Nodejs version >= 12
* Install [hollaex-node-lib](https://www.npmjs.com/package/hollaex-node-lib) by running `npm i hollaex-node-lib` or `yarn add hollaex-node-lib` in your project

### Usage

> Connecting with any Hollaex Kit Enabled Exchange is pretty much same, with minor modifications you can connect to all the exchanges that uses similar Hollaex Kit backends.

#### Import Library

```js
const kit = require('hollaex-node-lib');

const client = new kit({
	apiURL: 'https://api.cayc.exchange',
	baseURL: '/v2',
	apiKey: '<MY_API_KEY>',
	apiSecret: '<MY_API_SECRET>'
});
```

Put **Api Key** for `<MY_API_KEY>` & **Api Secret** for `<MY_API_SECRET>` in above code that you can get from [the guide](https://docs.cayc.exchange/docs/api_docs/introduction/#how-to-create-an-api-key).

#### Request structure

```js
// Initialize Client using above example...

client
	.getTicker('xht-usdt')
	.then((res) => {
		console.log('The volume is: ', res.volume);
	})
	.catch((err) => {
		console.log(err);
	});

client
	.getTrade({ symbol: 'xht-usdt' })
	.then((res) => {
		console.log('Public trades: ', res);
	})
	.catch((err) => {
		console.log(err);
	});
```

### Websocket client

> To create custom websocket client, Please visit [the guide](https://docs.cayc.exchange/docs/api_docs/custom_ws.md), This guide uses `hollaex-node-lib` and assumes that you have already configured your code to assign `client` variable/constant (as shown above) before trying this.

To make a connection:

```js
var new_connetion = client.connect(['orderbook', 'trade']);
```

To disconnect it:

```js
new_connetion.disconnect();
```

#### Channel subscriptions

You can subscribe to following channels

* orderbook
* trades
* order (Only available with authentication. Receive order updates)
* wallet (Only available with authentication. Receive balance updates)

#### Listen to events

After connection, You can listen for these events from the server by using on method, e.g.

* message
* open
* close
* error
* unexpected-response etc.

**Example**

```js
// Initialize Client using above example...
const socket1 = client.connect('trades:xht-usdt');

socket1.on('trades', (data) => {
	console.log(data);
});

const socket2 = client.connect('all');

socket2.on('orderbook', (data) => {
	console.log(data);
});

// You have to use a token to use these  otherwise the socket disconnects
socket2.on('userInfo', (data) => {
	console.log(data);
});


setTimeout(() => {
	socket2.disconnect();
}, 5);
```
