Awesome crypto examples

January 15, 2026 · View on GitHub

Wondering how to "[insert something crypto & nodejs related]"? Welcome to a loose collection of node.js examples and demos in the world of algo trading (especially cryptocurrencies).

What kind of examples?

Working with crypto exchange REST APIs
Working with crypto exchange WebSocket streams
Anything else crypto + node.js?

Note: these are not meant to suggest best practices. These are purely demonstrations for one (or more) way(s) for doing various things.

Getting started

All examples are in node.js and/or typescript.

Ensure you have node.js installed (see .nvmrc for the recommended version (or above))
Install dependencies: npm install

Node.js examples will be any file that ends with .js. If the example has a readme, refer to the readme for specific instructions, otherwise use the following command to run the example with node.js:

node src/path/to/example.js

Running examples (typescript)

Typescript examples will be any file that ends with .ts. If the example has a readme, refer to the readme for specific instructions, otherwise use the following command to run the example with typescript's ts-node:

npx ts-node src/path/to/example.ts

Refer to the following documentation for guidance on ts-node: https://www.npmjs.com/package/ts-node#overview

Providing API keys

Some examples make private API calls (e.g. the account monitoring ones). These rely on API credentials to make signed API calls to your account.

Either locally download a copy of this repo and edit the values directly, or provide these as environmental variables. If a sample has the following process.env snippet:

const key = process.env.APIKEY || 'APIKEY';
const secret = process.env.APISECRET || 'APISECRET';

You can provide your API credentials (in unix & macOS environments) when executing the sample:

APIKEY="yourkeyhere" APISECRET="yoursecrethere" npx ts-node src/exchanges/binance/account-events/log-account-events.ts

Contributing

PRs for various concepts welcome. Typescript preferred, but plain javascript is also OK.
